What it is about

Reality TV. You already watch it. You already have opinions. It's Called Reality gives you somewhere to take them seriously. Hosts Willow and Briana have been texting each other about their reality TV obsessions for years. Now they're yapping about it on a podcast. Every episode covers a different franchise, going deeper than the drama to explore the beauty standards, the bias, the power dynamics, and what it all reveals about the world we actually live in, and about us. It's the discourse for people who give a shit.
