Surviving Reality

Surviving Reality is the snarky, weekly recap podcast hosted by Corey and Carly that covers unhinged reality TV, true crime, documentaries, and all the chaos in between.

Part recap, part roast, and part therapy session – we bring a neurodivergent lens to the internet’s favorite reality shows, digging into relationship dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the moments everyone else missed.

Whether you’re a reality TV superfan or just here for the breakups, betrayals, and reunion show meltdowns, we’re breaking down the biggest moments each week.

New Episodes every Monday and Friday!

Plus a full backlog of recaps covering Welcome to Plathville, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Love is Blind, The Traitors, Polyfamily, Seeking Sister Wife, Suddenly Amish, 7 Little Johnstons, This is Poly, Married at First Sight, and more!
