Reality Life with Kate Casey

Mater Dei boys lacrosse coach Johnny Rodriguez was 35 when he was diagnosed with ALS—a disease doctors told him would give him only a few years to live. In this powerful conversation, Johnny shares how he’s using the discipline and mindset of a championship athlete to stay in peak shape and fight back against a devastating prognosis. 

 

Johnny also opens up about fatherhood—including the fact that during this interview, he was preparing for the birth of his third child—and why he believes he has this disease for a reason. 

 

This is a story of purpose, resilience, and choosing to live fully, even in the face of the unthinkable.

Ep. - 1466 - SELLING OC WITH CHRIS DEROSA AND POLLY BRINDLE

Paul “Jack” Fronczak and Tracey Hastings, co-hosts of the investigative podcast The Fronczak Files, about the extraordinary and still-unfolding mystery of Jack’s true identity. Many listeners will remember Jack’s story from Kate’s 2021 interview at the time of the CNN documentary The Lost Sons, which chronicled his decades-long search to uncover who he really was—and what happened to the baby stolen from a Chicago hospital in 1964. That episode remains one of Kate’s most asked-about interviews. 

 

In this follow-up conversation, Jack shares what has happened since 2021, including new investigative leads into the disappearance of his twin sister Jill, insights into the original kidnapping, and the emotional journey of reconstructing a life built on mysteries and missing pieces.

Ep. - 1461 - REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY

Nancy Salzman, former president and co-founder of Executive Success Programs (ESP), returns for the second part of her first-ever post-prison interview. After co-founding ESP with Keith Raniere in 1998, the company grew into the larger umbrella organization NXIVM—originally promoted as an elite personal development and leadership training community. 

 

In this second part of her conversation with Kate, Nancy speaks openly about the unraveling of NXIVM, the legal fallout that followed, and the personal reckoning she faced as she prepared to plead guilty. She discusses the complex blend of loyalty, denial, and awakening that preceded her arrest; her experience inside federal prison; and the emotional and psychological work required to confront her own responsibility.
