Bravo's August Era (with Alison Leiby)

Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah takes note of the raging temps outside (as hot as her love for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal) and realizes what she really needs in her life, in addition to SPF 900, is a cool-as-a-cucumber convo on the past, present, and future of Bravo TV/Housewives. And who better to discuss the impact of OG RHONY than New York Bravoholic Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for a seltzer spritz, and discuss the challenges ahead for NJ's current cast, Jackie's new pod announcement (...lol?), Southern Charm's confusing decision to cut Olivia (upholding the cast patriarchy, not quite as big a shock), the difference between OG RHONY and current Housewives (external world vs. interior world), the ways storytelling used to be shaped by 'society,' which has been replaced on NY by influence/content creation, and Orange County's Crucible vibe. Katie may need to let the mouse go, aka that paparazzi text, and pick up this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 576!
