Real vs. Reality | Getting Our Feet Wet on Our First Ep!

Welcome to our very first episode! 🥳 Today, we get our feet wet as we jump into the podcast world and chat about:

(0:00) Catching Up: Labor Day, how we celebrate American holidays in Bali, pumpkins, pumpkin pies, and pumpkin spice lattes

(8:20) Kylie Jenner is officially pregnant

(11:49) A family history of reality TV, why Kelly doesn’t watch it now, and why we find it so fascinating

(15:35) Getting real about reality TV. Is reality TV real? Siesta Key, Erika Girardi, Khloe Kardashian, and others: are reality TV stars “real people,” or are they portraying a character to entice us to watch? Is social media today making it more difficult for these people to pretend they are something they aren’t? Is this okay? Why are we so intrigued by this? Are they entitled to privacy, or do reality TV stars sign up for this scrutiny?
