Welcome to Carl Vs Reality, a British comedy podcast that’s basically just some bloke in a room talking about stuff — life, the internet, and all the weird little things that make being human equal parts brilliant and baffling.

I’m Carl — professional overthinker, caffeine enthusiast, and full-time resident of East Anglia. Each week I sit down with a cup of coffee (sometimes tea if I’m feeling fancy) and ramble my way through life’s strange corners. It’s not politics, it’s not self-help — it’s the bits in between. The everyday nonsense, the random stories you’d tell your mates down the pub, and the sort of things you only notice when you’ve had too much time to think.

Expect odd news from around the UK (and occasionally beyond), ridiculous observations, and the occasional heartfelt moment that sneaks in when I’m not paying attention. It’s low-key, funny, and a bit daft — the kind of podcast you stick on when you’re washing up, stuck in traffic, or just need to hear another human being talk about something other than how miserable everything is.

There’s no big agenda here. I’m not trying to change the world — I’m just trying to make sense of it. One story, one tangent, one badly-timed joke at a time. Some episodes are about the strange stuff people do online, others are about real life things that happened to me (usually when I should’ve just stayed at home). It’s part diary, part social commentary, part “what the hell did I just listen to?” — all served with a splash of British sarcasm.

If you like your comedy podcasts relaxed, personal, and a bit unpredictable, you’ll probably get along here. Think of it like chatting with a mate who’s had one too many coffees and keeps going off on tangents — but somehow it all sort of makes sense by the end.

So if you’re tired of doomscrolling, serious faces, and “important takes”, give Carl Vs Reality a go. It’s free therapy, minus the therapy part.

New episodes drop whenever life allows (let’s be honest), and every one’s a new attempt at making sense of the nonsense.

Reality’s weird. I’m weirder. Let’s get into it.
