Is it Real or Is it Ridiculous?
A girl talk, comedy and lifestyle podcast brought to you by millennials who just get it. Leah and Cara, two 30-somethings, attempt to answer the question ‘Is it Real or is it Ridiculous’ when faced with life’s biggest WTF moments. They reminisce on their life experiences, with a splash of sarcasm, and share their most real and most ridiculous stories. The girls take turns getting personal, offering unsolicited (and yet sometimes welcome) advice and no topic is off the table. From lighthearted memories to introspective conversations, they discuss everything from dating and relationships to dealing with anxiety and feeling confident in your own skin (and everything in between). Ending the show with the pastime that solidified their friendship, Leah and Cara play their favorite game together and answer ridiculous questions with even more ridiculous answers.
