PodcastOne

Your Barely Famous host, Kail Lowry, is bringing you the most real, raw, and uncomfortable conversations with guests you’d never expect! With exes, friends, celebrities, TikTokers, and everyone in between, things will definitely get weird. It’s a side of Kail you’ve never heard before! No topic is off limits. See you every Friday!

Barely Famous

Delaware-born linebacker Debo Williams joins Kail this week to talk honest, unfiltered life after football, chasing the NFL dream, and becoming a 23-year-old tech entrepreneur. From growing up in Smyrna, grinding his way from an under-recruited high school athlete to the University of Delaware and then transferring to play SEC football at the University of South Carolina, Debo breaks down what college recruiting actually looks like.

They get into the realities of what really happens when you don’t get drafted even after calls from most of the league. Debo shares how he turned that uncertainty into purpose by launching SpendHer Hotline, an app that connects real people to real experts for paid advice on anything from podcasting to mechanics.

Debo and Kail also talk youth sports culture, parents rearranging their entire lives for kids’ athletics, when it’s time to push vs. when it’s time to pull back, and what to do when your kid is “good” but not a clear D1 star. If you’re a parent of an athlete, a student-athlete, or someone trying to pivot after a dream doesn’t go as planned, this episode is for you.

Follow Debo and download SpendHer Hotline now!

Turning Setbacks Into Startups with Debo Williams

In today's episode Kail sits down with the Dude Dads for a candid, funny, and unexpectedly tender catch-up that hits everything from joining the “dead dads club,” visiting her estranged father before he passed, and what closure actually feels like. Tom and Jerry open up about losing their dads, addiction in the family, and why the first holidays without someone you love can wreck you.They swap stories about fatherhood, lineage, and the quiet pressure of being “the one who handles it". It’s messy, honest, and weirdly healing exactly the kind of conversation we want you to send to the men you love.

This episode is full of laughs, hard truths, and a reminder to keep traditions (and yourself) going. And if you need a new pod for your favorite guy, the Dude Dads want your follows and reviews.

Breaking Cycles in Real Time with The Dude Dads

Complicated Grief

Daphne Woolsoncroft true-crime podcaster and debut thriller author joins Barely Famous to talk about Night Watcher, her chilling new novel about a Portland radio host who receives a terrifying on-air call that dredges up a serial killer from her past. Daphne shares how years of researching cases for Going West shaped her victim-first approach, why she spotlights lesser-known and BIPOC stories, and how her own family tragedy informs the respect and sensitivity she brings to true crime. We dig into the line between awareness and sensationalism, the cases that haunt her and forensic details in Night Watcher.

If you love thrillers, ethical true crime, and behind-the-scenes craft talk, this one’s for you.
