Advertise on podcast: Real Talk

In our inaugural episode of Real Talk, host Kristen Naiman speaks with Oscar-nominated casting director Jennifer Venditti. They discuss the intuition that guides Venditti’s casting work across runways and films like Euphoria and Marty Supreme, what it feels like when something truly magical unfolds in the casting room, her evolving relationship to home and nature, and how she learns to live with beauty without becoming attached to it. In the second half, Kristen and Jennifer offer guidance to two callers: one considering a capsule wardrobe as she prepares to move in with a partner, and another seeking the confidence to blend masculine and feminine influences while experimenting more freely with personal style.

Everything we wear tells a story. Sometimes it’s about who we’ve been, sometimes it’s about who we’re becoming. Sometimes it's about a conversation we're having with ourselves and the world around us. This is Real Talk, a new podcast where Kristen Naiman sits with creatives, writers, and cultural voices, and we talk with you about personal style—and how the items in each of our closets help us better understand who we are. In the second half, the show opens up to listeners, offering a call-in space to untangle their style dilemmas. New episodes of Real Talk begin next Wednesday, March 25th, with Oscar-nominated casting director Jennifer Venditti. Presented by The RealReal.
