Carlos King’s hit podcast “Reality with the King” has a new home. The former reality TV executive turned podcast kingpin announced on “The Breakfast Club” that his show is officially joining Charlamagne Tha God’s “The Black Effect Podcast Network,” expanding its reach via iHeartMedia.
“The Black Effect Network represents everything I believe in. Elevating Black voices and creating space for real, unfiltered conversations,” King said during his on-air appearance.
‘Reality with the King’ has always been about giving people the tea they can’t get anywhere else. And now we can serve it to an even bigger audience on a platform that truly understands our culture.”
Launched in 2022 and produced by King’s own Kingdom Reign Entertainment, “Reality with the King” has already racked up more than 7 million downloads. The show peels back the curtain on unscripted television’s biggest franchises, featuring candid interviews with stars, juicy behind-the-scenes stories, and the kind of commentary only someone with King’s credentials can offer. His producing credits include “The Real Housewives” and OWN’s “Love & Marriage” series.
Charlamagne Tha God, the network’s founder and co-host of “The Breakfast Club,” said King’s addition is a perfect fit. “The Black Effect Podcast Network was built to amplify Black voices who move culture forward, and ‘Reality with the King’ fits that vision,” he said. “Our lineup is a reflection of real, unapologetic authenticity.”
The podcast, now distributed through iHeartPodcasts, remains available on the iHeartRadio app and all major platforms.
Dollie S. Bishop, President of The Black Effect Podcast Network, echoed the excitement: “We’re thrilled to welcome ‘Reality with the King’ to a platform that aims to inspire, inform, and empower. This podcast brings funny, unfiltered commentary on the biggest reality TV and pop culture moments.”
