Podcasts by Real or Fake

Real or Fake

Real or Fake is a podcast hosted by two former Chicago-based roommates (well, Chicago sometimes... Denver sometimes... LA sometimes): Kylie and Jen. After years of family, friends, and strangers eating up our crazy stories, we decided it was time to share with a broader audience. Topics range from the ~faker~ things in life, like plastic surgery and social media, to the real stuff, like heartbreak from boys we never even dated, to how to handle family drama, and more.
