PodcastOne

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

In this episode of Barely Famous, Kail sits down with Victoria Smith, a domestic violence survivor turned “survivor life coach” who now helps women rebuild after they’ve gotten out. What starts as a conversation about leaving unsafe relationships quickly expands into the parts people don’t always talk about: the long-term impact on confidence, identity, finances, parenting and why “just leave” is rarely that simple.

Victoria shares how surviving years of control and escalation reshaped the way she sees boundaries, safety, and healing, and why she eventually shifted her focus toward supporting survivors on the other side of crisis. Kail also opens up about her own experience navigating the system, the public misunderstanding around domestic violence, and the complicated reality of being judged for choices you make while you’re still trying to survive.

It’s a heavy but honest conversation about domestic violence recovery, trauma, addiction as a coping mechanism, and what it actually takes to reclaim your life and protect your kids after everything changes. If you or someone you love needs help, please visit the national DV support website , call 1 800 7233 or text start at 88788 for guidance and support.

Turning Pain Into Purpose with Victoria Smith

Welcome back to a rare solo episode of Barely Famous Podcast. Kail is kicking off 2026 in full “Controversial Kail is back” mode. This one starts as a life update, but quickly turns into an honest look at how things shift when you’re parenting kids in very different stages, juggling multiple co-parenting dynamics, and trying to keep your peace without pretending everything is neat and tidy.

Kail opens up about the reality of what changes as kids get older , plus how she navigates big milestone moments while still protecting her energy and her kids’ privacy. She also answers a stack of listener questions - from boundaries and personal growth to friendships, healing after a very public breakup, and what she’s manifesting for the year ahead. Along the way, she shares what she’s learning about saying “no,” letting time do its thing, and choosing what’s worth the fight and what simply isn’t.

Controversial Kail Is Back

On this week’s episode of Barely Famous, Kail sits down with Rei Clarke- the TikTok/IG creator known for breaking down reality TV chaos in real time. Kail asks the questions people actually want answered: where “tea” comes from, how you fact-check in a world of rumors, and what separates reporting from opinion.

It’s funny and unfiltered, but also surprisingly thoughtful especially when they get into internet accountability, why some scandals stick forever, and what it’s like living on both sides of the headline.

Cancel Culture & Credibility With Rei Clarke

On this episode of Barely Famous, Kail sits down with her best friend Emily Fortner, the one you’ve seen in the background of real life: school drop-offs, kids’ sports, Book Club, and all the in-between moments that don’t make the highlight reel. Just two moms reflecting on how a real friendship forms, grows, and becomes family.

They get into the invisible work: what it’s actually like to be a teacher carrying other people’s kids all day and then going home to do it again as a single mom, the mental load that never clocks out, and how burnout can look like “tired” in a way sleep doesn’t fix. Along the way, Kail opens up about what school felt like for her growing up, why certain adults can change a kid’s entire trajectory, and how motherhood shifts when you’re trying to take care of everyone while still learning how to take care of yourself.

It’s funny, emotional, and wildly relatable, especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything and still wondering if it’s enough.

The Friend Who Became Family With Emily Fortner

On this episode of Barely Famous Kail sits down with Dover, Delaware entrepreneur Bobby Jones the owner of Brightside for a raw conversation about what it really looks like to rebuild a life when your starting line is nowhere near everyone else’s.

Bobby opens up about growing up in poverty, navigating foster care, and how early decisions can shape the way you see yourself for years. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped him break cycles, what redemption actually requires, and why “starting over” doesn’t always mean leaving town. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, overwhelmed by where to begin, or like you’re carrying a story you didn’t choose this one will stick with you.

Listen in for a powerful, honest conversation about resilience, accountability, second chances, and building something you’re proud of one decision at a time.

Elliott Rivera's Sweet 16

Kail sits down with Larry Normile owner of Artistic Additions in Dover, Delaware for a conversation that starts with tattooing and turns into something so much bigger. Larry opens up about learning to tattoo as a teenager, how tattoo culture has changed over the years, and why he’s passionate about shifting the judgment people still carry around visible ink.

The heart of the episode is Larry’s groundbreaking work inside one of Delaware’s largest prisons, where he’s teaching inmates a real tattoo apprenticeship complete with education on hygiene, bloodborne pathogens, regulations, technique, business basics, testing, and documented hours. Larry breaks down what it takes to qualify, what the studio looks like behind the walls, and why the program is about more than tattooing it’s about rehabilitation, reentry, and giving people a path forward that actually sticks. Along the way, Larry shares his own story from foster care and juvenile detention to prison and ultimately rebuilding his life. It’s raw, hopeful, and a reminder that people are more than the worst thing they’ve ever done.
