You Can Call Me, Karen
You Can Call Me Karen is caught in the middle—too young for Gen X, too tired for Gen Z. Hosted by Manni, Steph, and Karen, three sharp-tongued friends raised on dial-up tones and Dawson’s Creek, the show unpacks the pop culture that shaped the ‘90s and early 2000s. With wit and candor, they dissect the contradictions of coming of age in that era, never afraid to channel their inner Karen if it means saying the quiet parts out loud. No advice, just real talk: a bold, funny, side-eye-laced ride through nostalgia, modern womanhood, and the messiness in between.
You Can Call Me, Karen
What happens when we stop being polite and start getting real?
Welcome to the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! In this episode, we dive into our collective obsession with celebrity gossip and reality TV. From iconic moments like Justin and Britney’s breakup to the drama-filled world of The Bachelor and Vanderpump Rules, we explore why we can’t seem to look away from breaking celebrity news and scandalous reality TV drama. Many call it a "guilty pleasure," but should we really feel guilty about being so invested? We uncover our fascination with the lives of the rich and famous and why reality TV has such a magnetic pull. Tune in to understand the deeper reasons behind our celebrity obsession and whether it's truly something we should feel guilty about or simply embrace.
