    i love how willow and briana are exploring reality discourse with such nuance & humour. it’s validating my love for reality tv, while also making me feel like i’m taking a psychology (+ sociology) class.

  • Must listen!

    It’s Called Reality is funny with a touch of intellectualism on the complex topic of reality TV. You don’t have to watch reality TV to like the banter the hosts have. Relatable and engaging. I can’t wait for the next episode!
