Introducing: It's Called Reality
Something new from the team behind The Most Important Question!
It's Called Reality is a podcast about reality TV, and the systems hiding inside it. Every episode, hosts Willow Beck and Briana Brown take a show you're already watching and pull the thread on what it's actually revealing about power, media, and the world we live in.
If you listen to The Most Important Question, you already think about who controls the narrative, how misinformation spreads, and what it means that the media environment is shifting faster than our ability to read it critically. Reality TV is one of the most watched and least analyzed corners of that environment.
Donald Trump is the president in large part because he was a reality TV star first. The Traitors is a closed information system w here the people with access to the truth run a disinformation campaign against everyone else, and the parallels to how misinformation spreads are not subtle. Survivor 50 showed us exactly what happens when a powerful institution performs "giving people control" without actually ceding any.
It's Called Reality takes all of that seriously, with the same rigor you'd expect from Important, Not Important, and a lot more yapping about who deserved to win The Traitors.
New episodes Fridays. Find It's Called Reality wherever you listen to podcasts.
