Premiering September 22, the unlikely duo bring their unfiltered takes to dating, relationships, beauty, reinvention and the chaos of modern womanhood
Official trailer available HERE
NEW YORK – September 15, 2026 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the launch of “Don’t Lie To Me,” a new weekly video pop culture podcast series hosted by Lexi Ioannou, founder and creative director of the shoe brand nou, and Lisa DiGiulio, beauty expert and entrepreneur. The series will premiere on September 22, with new episodes releasing every Tuesday. The official “Don’t Lie To Me” trailer is available now, HERE.
In this weekly series, Lexi and Lisa pull back the curtain on the shared chaos of womanhood, dating, family, beauty, and wellness. Despite being in completely different chapters, these unlikely best friends have far more in common than their age gap suggests – and just as much to debate. Lexi, thirty and running her own footwear brand, grew up on camera as the daughter of Dina from The Real Housewives of New Jersey and now navigates adulthood with equal parts ambition and sharp humor. Meanwhile Lisa, fifty-something, glamorous, and gloriously unfiltered, has lived through it all with the hot takes to prove it. Raw, funny, and unapologetically honest, every episode feels like a call you are having with your best friend.
“We are in completely different chapters of life, but somehow the chaos is always the same,” said Lexi Ioannou and Lisa DiGiulio. “‘Don’t Lie To Me’ is where we get to compare notes, question each other’s choices and laugh about all the things we’ve survived or are still figuring out. Nothing is too personal, too ridiculous or too honest, and that’s exactly how we like it.”
“What makes Lexi and Lisa such a compelling duo is the honesty and humor they bring to different phases of life,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “They have a natural chemistry and a point of view that will resonate with audiences across generations. We’re excited to bring their candid conversations to the iHeartPodcasts family.”
“Don’t Lie To Me” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard on September 22. Video episodes will also be available on iHeart and YouTube.

Equal parts ambitious and relatable, she is the show’s voice of millennial transparency, proving you can curate a beautiful life while still figuring it all out as you go.
ABOUT LISA DIGIULIO
Lisa brings the voice of experience and the sharp wit that comes with it. Originally from Boston and now based in Los Angeles, she’s a sought-after lash and brow artist known for her attention to detail and therapeutic style appointments.

With zero experience, she found her way into the fashion industry, proving that reinvention isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. Equal parts glamorous and grounded, Lisa is the show’s resident truth-teller. A woman who’s lived it, learned it, and can make you laugh about it. Her take on everything from dating and beauty to self-preservation bridges generations while reminding listeners that confidence and chaos can absolutely coexist.
