The Real Hits of the Housewives

I decided to put our Patreon-only episode of Sweet Home Summer House out for the world to listen to this week because Brittany and I go in on Bad Friend. What are podcasts like this even for if not to discuss pieces of journalism like this in depth? Enjoy! As you may have noticed, I have been struggling to release RHOH episodes on a consistent schedule. So, RHOH is currently on hiatus while I pre-record Season 2 to be released weekly starting next year!

Episode We Recap: Real Housewives of New York | Season 4, Episode 9 | A Riad Divided Finally, our first dive into the Morocco trip!

Actress and podcaster Cait Madry of It Sure Is A Beautiful Day with Catt Sadler joins me to discuss problematic travel tropes, Jill's rise & fall, and Luann's near death experience on a camel.
