Imagine a breakfast wrap. You know the one, because there really is only one. Sausage, egg, cheese, bacon and a potato rusty all wrapped together. Yep, there it is. I think my work here is done. Serve them until 11 a.m.

I'm Laura Diaz, and this is a show about the characters we love to consume.

The reality TV stars we can't look away from, the fictional women who live rent-free in our heads,

You're in the right place.

Characters is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Southern Charm. So if you want to hear that,

ad-free episodes, all the other Patreon exclusive episodes, watch the video episodes with
