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

Lucy Score; indie romance powerhouse joins Barely Famous for her first in-person pod to talk pen names, slow-burn swoon, and building a publishing empire from the ground up. We get the adorable origin of “Lucy,” how a self-published book hit #1 on Amazon, and the role Mr. Lucy plays running the business so she can write.

Lucy talks about her brand-new series starter Story of My Life. We dig into writing sprints, why she only turns a book in when she’s truly happy with it, navigating reviews with a thicker skin, audio-book casting, and the mindset shift from scarcity to “there’s room for all of us.”

If you love grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, big-heart small towns, and behind-the-scenes author chat, this one’s for you.

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.
