Be On Purpose

Hosts Rio J and E Fikes, both Army Veterans, pull up a chair for a conversation that doesn't shy away from the complexities of modern life. Their The Tinted Reality Show is built on the premise that every perspective comes through a particular lens-theirs is shaped by service, experience, and a direct, unfiltered approach to dialogue. Each episode tackles a pivotal topic in society and culture, dissecting it with a raw and genuine style that forgoes polish for authenticity. The result is a podcast that feels less like a formal broadcast and more like you’re listening in on a compelling, sometimes heated, but always real discussion between two people who have a unique shared history. You won't find rehearsed talking points or neutral commentary here; instead, you get their unsolicited, "tinted" point of view on everything from current events to deeper cultural shifts. The chemistry between the hosts creates an engaging rhythm, making it easy to feel like a participant in the room rather than a passive listener. Tune in for a perspective that is both grounded and provocative, a blend of insight and camaraderie that challenges conventional takes. This is a podcast dedicated to real talk, where the analysis is as genuine as the connection between the two voices leading the conversation.
