[1] Acoording to Stuff journalist Charlie Mitchell, Reality Check Radio's launch in March 2023 was greeted by animosity from some elements of the "truth and freedom movement."

[2] In late February 2024, Reality Check Radio hosted Austrian far right activist Martin Sellner, who had communicated with and accepted a donation from Brenton Tarrant, who perpetrated the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings.

Following the interview, advocacy group Fight Against Conspiracy Theories (FACT) spokesperson Stephen Judd criticised RCR for platforming extremist views and called on politicians to boycott the station.

On 14 April, Voices for Freedom co-founder Alia Brand denied that the RCR donation drive was a publicity stunt during an interview with TVNZ's Q+A current affairs show.

On 17 April 2024, Reality Check Radio released a plan to shift towards a donor-funded model and set a goal of increasing its subscription base from 3,500 to 10,000 paying members.
