    Kara Alloway RETURNS + TALKS ‘The Traitors Canada’ | JTWJE EP #436

    It is a privilege to welcome the fantastic Kara Alloway back to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast!   Kara began her media career after graduating from McGill University and landed at Allure in Los Angeles, where she worked as the Assistant West Coast Editor, reporting to editor Linda Wells. Her early work focused on beauty and fashion through a journalistic lens, pairing rigorous cultural reporting with a clear point of view.   She later returned to Canada to become Editor-in-Chief of Ingenue magazine, where the publication experienced record growth in circulation within the Canadian teen market. Alongside my editorial work, I hosted a daily fashion and beauty radio show, interviewing industry leaders including Stella McCartney, Laura Mercier, Phoebe Philo, Zac Posen, Diane von Fürstenberg, Bob Mackie, and Oscar de la Renta.   Reality TV fans first met Kara Alloway on The Real Housewives of Toronto before competing on The Traitors Canada: Season Three. These experiences deepened her understanding of unscripted storytelling, both in front of and behind the camera, and sharpened her interest in how narrative, performance, and public perception intersect. Following her work on camera, Kara moved into unscripted development and production, signing with Electus in Los Angeles and later joining Hangar 56 Media, where I worked in executive production. Her debut novel, MOST HATED, draws from these intersecting worlds of media, performance, and public judgment, marking a shift toward long-form, character-driven storytelling. Across platforms, Kara’s work reflects a sustained interest in how stories are shaped, controlled, and contested, particularly for women navigating highly visible public spaces. On this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kara Alloway gave an in-depth rundown on her experience on The Traitors Canada.
