Keke Palmer has questions, and she’s not afraid to ask them.
On 'Baby, this is Keke Palmer', Keke sits down with artists, actors, entrepreneurs, experts, and creators shaping the culture. These aren’t just promo stops or viral moments. They’re honest, layered conversations about identity, relationships, reinvention, success, and growth.
Pop culture moves fast. Opinions move faster. But nuance takes time — and that’s what Keke makes space for. Because culture is more than a headline. It’s a reflection of who we are.
And baby… this show holds up the mirror.

I absolutely adore Keke and this podcast! She is incredibly smart and insightful, intuitive and kind, hardworking and so very funny. I listen to a lot of podcasts. Keke has the rare ability to connect with her guests in ways other hosts do not, soliciting the most beautiful nuggets of wisdom and fostering the kind of human connection the world is desperate for. Bravo, Keke! Thank you!

Love this show! Started listening because I had to hear her interview with Sean Evans because yes, I love their energy when they’re together. Plus, the Michelle Obama episode 😍Anyway, I started binging the episodes and now I can’t stop! She is a wonderful interviewer and really makes her guests feel like they are just having a good hang. Looking forward to seeing more from Ms. Keke Palmer 🫶🏽

There’s something so refreshing about Keke Palmer’s podcast. The conversations feel real, honest, and unfiltered in a way that’s both inspiring and comforting. As a Black woman, it’s powerful to hear discussions that embrace vulnerability, growth, ambition, and authenticity without trying to fit into a box. Keke has a way of making her guests feel seen while also making listeners reflect on their own journeys. Every episode feels like a reminder that we can evolve, take up space, and still remain true to ourselves. Truly one of the most authentic platforms out right now.

Each episode engages the listener, informs me with some insight I find helpful, and entertains with laughter. The real conversation flow KeKe uses with her guest works. It feels like I’m listening in on two friends catching up over coffee. I know how hard KeKe works to keep the effortless feel, the research and prep for each guest to be well versed in their background is evident. My personal favorite is how she begins each episode with her mom, Sharon. So refreshing to see a positive mother daughter dynamic in the industry. Keep doing what you’re doing!!! I’ll keep sharing, praising and listening to the podcast.

I love Keke and the energy she brings. She is nothing short of iconic. HOWEVER, I have an issue with the various ads for AI, Starbucks, and more. It’s giving elitist, prioritizing profits over people & supporting inhumane organizations. I can’t support this pod that promotes ads such as these.
