  • A friend to all!

    I’ve been listening to Kate for years, and at this point she genuinely feels like a friend I catch up with every week. She’s smart, hilarious, asks all the questions I want answered, and somehow always knows what I need to be watching next. I’ve discovered countless shows and documentaries because of her, and her interviews consistently give you something you won’t hear anywhere else. Kate, you’re my girl—and Reality Life will forever be one of my absolute favorite podcasts.
