Kate Casey


Daily podcast about unscripted television. Kate Casey interviews the talent, producers, and directors of reality shows, documentaries, and docuseries. Saturday episodes tell incredible person stories. 


Reality Life with Kate Casey

Kate discusses the Netflix documentary Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story, a chilling true-crime examination of Utah therapist Jodi Hildebrandt and her role in a devastating child abuse case involving popular parenting YouTuber Ruby Franke. Directed by Skye Borgman, the film explores how Hildebrandt, a licensed therapist and life coach, built power and credibility through her program ConneXions, ultimately manipulating Franke and others by weaponizing therapeutic language and moral authority. 

The documentary escalates as it reveals the “inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime” enforced under Hildebrandt’s influence, normalizing cruelty in the name of accountability and faith. The story reaches its horrifying conclusion in August 2023, when Franke’s emaciated 12-year-old son escaped through a window of Hildebrandt’s home and sought help from a neighbor, triggering the arrest of both women and exposing the dangers of unchecked influence, therapy culture misuse, and social media-driven credibility.

Ep. - 1491 - REVISITING WITH LOVE, MEGHAN

In 1961, George Carroll, a 30-year-old U.S. Army veteran and father of six, vanished without a trace from his family’s Long Island home on Olive Street, leaving behind a wife and young children, including his eight-month-old son Michael. For decades, the Carroll children were told their father had abandoned them, but unanswered questions lingered as the family endured years of silence, abuse, and buried secrets after their mother, Dorothy Carroll, remarried the family’s handyman, Richard Darress. 

 

Driven by a lifelong search for truth, Michael Carroll eventually bought the family home and, alongside his sister Jean, pursued answers through neighbors, rumors, and even psychics—until a chilling revelation led Michael’s sons, Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll, to dig beneath the basement floor in 2018. Six feet below the house, they uncovered human remains later confirmed to be George Carroll’s, transforming a decades-old disappearance into an active homicide investigation. 

 

Kate is joined by director Patricia Gillespie, and Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll.

Ep. - 1490 - THE SECRETS WE BURY

Executive producer and Reality With The King podcast host Carlos King joins Kate for an unfiltered deep dive into the real mechanics of reality television—what we think happens, what actually happens, and why a reunion seating chart may be more dangerous than an open bar. 

 

From Housewives casting and OG obsession to producer manipulation, fan-favorite delusions, and the pettiest reasons reality stars refuse to film, Kate and Carlos pull back the curtain on the psychology, power plays, and behind-the-scenes chaos that fuels unscripted TV.

Retired FBI special agent Jodi Weber discusses the Gilgo Beach Killer, also called the Long Island Serial Killer, said to be responsible for the murder of between 10 and 17 women and the dumping of their bodies along the Ocean Parkway over a period of nearly 20 years.
