We've talked about Doppelgangers before - but this time, it's personal. Even though Katie is Julie's identical twin (and podcast co-host) Katie is not the only person who looks like her. Julie tells the story of her surreal experience of having a real-life lookalike living in her same small town, the funny moments that come with it and the lengths to which she went to in order to determine if there could actually be a DNA link between them. Did Julie and Katie find their long lost cousin? Listen to find out!

For the re-release of our Ghost Episode, please enjoy our riveting original interview from 2022 with twins Kristy and Jenny who lead a paranormal investigation team called Soul Sisters Paranormal. As a bonus, Katie joins the recording from the New York Public Library (in honor of the movie Ghostbusters).  This insightful interview might just change forever the way you think about ghosts. Plus, stick around to the end of the episode when Kristy Sumner gives an exciting update on the spooky endeavors the Soul Sisters twins have been up to since the last time we spoke to them.

Tod Lewis is a lawyer who specializes in twin credit and identity mixup claims. In this fascinating episode, Julie and Katie talk with Tod about how twin credit mixups occur (and how it happens to twins more than you might think), the financial and emotional damage it can cause and what can be done to fix the problem and bring justice to those twins who find themselves victims of this unfortunate dilemma.

If you know us at all, you know we believe in twin telepathy. We took to social media and asked Twintopians to share their best ESP stories...and they did not disappoint! We know you will enjoy these fun and bizarre stories that could only happen because of the rare bond that happens between twins.

Julie and Katie discuss the results of their very own Twin Experiment (inspired by Netflix's You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment.) For the month of February, Julie went sugar free/alcohol free, and Katie gave up red meat, dairy and gluten. Given that the sister have identical DNA, who had the best results for their health and weight? Listen to find out!

Julie and Katie check in on how their different diets are going for Twintopia's very own Twin Experiment, plus a tragic story of twins in the news, ESP and diet disasters on Valentine's day.

Katie and Julie review the Netflix docuseries, "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment," as part of their Twin TV series. Listen to find out what they loved about this show and what it did (and didn't) have to do with twins. Later, the twins explain how it inspired them to do their own twin experiment for the betterment of their health.

Katie and Julie are starting a new bonus series in which they share their thoughts on tv shows/series that involve twins. This episode focuses on the new Amazon Prime limited series called "Twin Love," hosted by the Bella Twins.

Julie and Katie read twin listener responses to the poll inquiry: "Did you ever receive or achieve something your twin didn't? How did you both handle it?" The twins also discuss their Christmas prep and the new twin reality show "Twins in Love."

We love being twins. But for this episode we took to Facebook to ask other twins, "Has Being a twin caused you problems?" Though many of the responses we could relate to, others really surprised us. Please enjoy!

Katie and Julie have always wanted to devote an entire episode to the dynamics of the boy/girl (or in this case, man/woman) twin relationship. The day has come and we were delighted to get to know these 19-year old twins and hear what makes their relationship special; we loved hearing how they are growing as individuals now that they’ve separated and are carving separate paths for themselves in the world.

As Katie and Julie approach their 50th birthday, they ponder what their birthday wishes will be for the next 50 years.

Katie and Julie have had a long-standing disagreement on the rarity of identical twins. Although fertility treatments have caused a surge in the number of multiple births, Julie questioned whether this would have any affect on the number of identical (aka, "monozygotic") twins. Julie does a deep dive into the statistics and reveals her findings. The twins also discuss the latest happenings in their lives including chance run-ins with other identical twins.

It's the SIBLING episode! Finally someone (or in this case, two someones), dedicated an entire podcast episode to the singleton siblings of twins. We are thrilled to hear their story!  What's it like to be raised alongside twins?  Find out as our brother Rob joins us for a chat with our longtime friend, Renee, who grew up with twin brothers.

In this episode, Julie and Katie discuss the phenomenon of look alike strangers and how scientists are now discovering that most Doppelgängers (aka "twin strangers") share similar DNA.
