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

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.

Ep. - 1488 - WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK WITH KATE CASEY

Every December, the same two songs return — playing in stores, homes, airports, and holiday parties around the world. Do They Know It’s Christmas? and Last Christmas have become so deeply embedded in our global celebration of the season that it feels like they’ve always been there. But they haven’t. 

 

In this episode, Kate takes a deep dive into the remarkable back stories behind two of the most iconic Christmas songs ever recorded, both released within days of each other in December 1984 — and both created under dramatically different circumstances.

Ep. - 1486 - SEAN COMBS, TAYLOR SWIFT, DOCUMENTARIES, AND REAL HOUSEWIVES

John Maggio, director of the HBO documentary Paul Anka: His Way, about the life and legacy of one of popular music’s most enduring figures. 

 

Paul Anka, born in 1941 in Ottawa, Canada, rose to fame at sixteen with the hit single “Diana.” Unlike many artists of his era, Anka maintained early control over his songwriting and publishing, a decision that enabled a career spanning more than six decades. In addition to his own recordings, he wrote songs for artists including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, and Tom Jones, most notably “My Way.”

Ep. - 1485 - PAUL ANKA: HIS WAY

Kate breaks down the shocking true story behind Hulu’s Missing Millionaires and the disappearance of Australian financial fraudster Melissa Caddick. 

 

Melissa Caddick appeared to be a successful Sydney-based financial advisor living an enviable life in one of the city’s wealthiest coastal neighborhoods. But in November 2020, as federal police raided her home for operating a massive Ponzi scheme, Melissa walked out for a morning run and never returned.

Ep. - 1482 - WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK WITH KATE CASEY

In this episode, Kate talks with Kim Huynh, whose family story spans continents, generations, and a lifetime of unanswered questions. Kim first caught Kate’s attention through an Instagram video where she revealed a stunning discovery: her father—born and raised in Vietnam—had finally found a biological relative through a genealogy site. The match confirmed what had long been whispered but never proven: his father was an American soldier in the Vietnam War, a man he never knew, and about whom his own mother gave no identifying information. 

 

Kim shares her father’s powerful origin story and the emotional impact of uncovering a history shaped by secrecy, war, and resilience. She also tells the story of how her parents met and married in Vietnam, and how, when she was four years old, they left their homeland to start again in Kentucky, building a life that blended Vietnamese heritage with Southern American culture.

Ep. - 1481 - SATURDAY SERIES: KIM HUYNH

In this episode, Kate breaks down Meghan Markle’s new Netflix holiday special With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration with veteran TV producer and Fixing Famous People host Chris DeRosa. Together they unpack the highly curated Montecito setting, the wreath-making and hosting “how-to” segments, Meghan’s viral red-pajama moment, and why the special has become such a lightning rod for both fans and critics. Chris offers an insider producer’s perspective on what worked, what felt off, and how he would have shaped the project for more authenticity and impact. Whether you loved it or were left puzzled, this conversation reframes Meghan’s latest move in the streaming world.
