The Katie Kelly Show
Welcome to The Katie Kelly Show, a funny, story driven podcast about joy, pain, sunshine and rain. Just kidding (give it to 'em, Rob Base).
In a world where everyone is filtered, curated, and pretending to be perfect, this show is a strictly fake-free zone.
Solo episodes are true stories from my present day life, tales from a checkered past, and my take on the latest in pop culture (mostly Netflix related).
Guest episodes are chats with my closest friends about life, family, and anything that makes us laugh. It’s the ultimate unpolished comfort listen for anyone who loves good stories, honest laughs, and zero pretense.
Stories, jokes, talking with friends. What's better than that?
