Kate Casey


Daily podcast about unscripted television. Kate Casey interviews the talent, producers, and directors of reality shows, documentaries, and docuseries. Saturday episodes tell incredible person stories. 


Reality Life with Kate Casey

Kate reconnects with her longtime friend Amber Rose Johnson, whom she met long before they each had kids—and she’s been laughing with her ever since. 

 

Amber grew up surrounded by fitness and comedy: her dad ran a health club and business, and her mom was an aerobics instructor by day and a comedian and booker by night. But instead of being drawn into the toxic diet culture of that world, Amber charted her own path—embracing body positivity long before it became a movement. 

 

In this conversation, Amber opens up about her unconventional childhood, how her mother taught her to use humor as a way to navigate life’s toughest moments, and how she went on to build a thriving day spa business rooted in self-acceptance and joy.

Ep. - 1427 - SATURDAY SERIES: AMBER ROSE JOHNSON

Shannon Furman, producer and director with NFL Films, discusses the new Amazon Prime documentary Saquon — a deeply personal look at Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. The film captures five years of Barkley’s life through his own video diaries — from the heartbreak of ACL recovery and tense contract negotiations, to his move from the New York Giants to the Eagles. Shannon shares what it was like to help shape such an intimate portrait of one of the NFL’s most beloved and resilient stars, both on and off the field. 

 

Then, Kate is joined by Ryan McGee, senior writer for ESPN and co-host of Marty & McGee, to discuss The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin — ESPN’s new documentary exploring one of the most complex and compelling figures in college football. Ryan takes listeners inside Kiffin’s remarkable journey across the sport’s biggest stages — from USC and the Raiders to Alabama and Ole Miss — and reflects on how Kiffin’s evolution reveals as much about the world of college football as it does about the man himself.

Ep. - 1422 - WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK WITH KATE CASEY

Darolyn Bellemeur was adopted in 1972 through a Jewish agency in Riverside, California. In her twenties, determined to learn the truth of her beginnings, she navigated closed records and bureaucracy until finally receiving a three-page letter from Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services in Los Angeles. 

 

That letter — a simple packet of typed pages — unveiled a world of family history: a sixteen-year-old Jewish mother from Tennessee, a grandmother who controlled the adoption decision, siblings she had never known, and a teenage father of Irish descent. For the first time, Darolyn was given glimpses of the people and circumstances that shaped her life story. From those fragments, she pieced together clues, calling cemeteries, chasing down a last name, and finally connecting with her birth parents.

Ep. - 1420 - LOVE IS BLIND: PART ONE

For years, viewers of 19 Kids and Counting watched the Duggar family portray a picture of traditional Christian values. But behind the reality-TV smiles was a darker story of manipulation, control, and hidden abuse. While sisters like Jill and Jinger Duggar have spoken out, this week’s guest offers a perspective we’ve never heard before. 

 

Amy Duggar King—known to millions as “Cousin Amy”—was there nearly every day, woven into the Duggar world. But even as she navigated the toxic dynamics within her famous extended family, she was returning home to her own secrets and struggles. For years she lived under labels she didn’t choose, branded “Crazy Cousin Amy” while quietly enduring coercion and gaslighting. 

 

Now, with her new book Holy Disruptor, Amy is ready to share her story fully and honestly. In this conversation, she opens up about what it was like growing up surrounded by deception, how she learned to reclaim her voice, and why disrupting toxic cycles is not rebellion—it’s sacred.
