Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah readies for her Europe trip the best way she knows how: by skipping any actual trip prep, instead unpacking some emotional baggage (Virgin said she can have a carry-on plus checked, so there's more than enough to go around). Inspired by Sonja and Kandi's international fashion lifestyle brand, worldwide, she invites over a friend to unpack an entirely new universe (Next Gen: NYC) and so much more: Jared Alexander (actor, entertainment writer, and contributor, Parade magazine). They discuss a surprising RHOA cameo at the Next Gen: NYC premiere event, Ariana Biermann's true mention it all about her parents' stealing her income, rumors about Teddi Jo Carrot's possible return to RHOBH (and how that could impact cast dynamics), Tom Girardi's sentencing, and of course, RHOA. It's Jared's birthday week, and this convo is a gift - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 675!

The journey continues. Over the course of this epic two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator) unpack the ways LGBTQ+ stories have been told on Bravo, underdeveloped camera time for Imrul, Jasmine, and Zak, whether Janet and Jason are 'too normal' for the Valley and Bravo-specific reality TV, Jesse's confounding interview about his Michelle's birth choices, how to make sense of the re-and post-coupling on Summer House (and yes, alternate views on Jesse and Lexi, Ciara and West, and Craig and Paige), Shamea v. Porsha, a status update on Love Hotel (and the differences in how the cast is approaching 'romance'), and why Sarah feels like she needs to write an apology note to Shan (with a Sharpie, obvs). Happy Pride to all, including Cousin Rosie, who had great chemistry with Juicy Joe - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 674! Part 2! In Celebration of Pride Month, Support the Ali Forney Center.

Sarah wakes up on the first day of Pride in NYC, after a delightful dream filled with butterflies, gay men, and equal TV time for Jasmine and Melissa. Inspired by such a wonderful start to her day, she meets up with a Bravoholic pal starting his Pride by recording in the cloffice for another 18-hour mini ep: Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They have a true round robin style AG kiki, unpacking the ways LGBTQ+ stories have been told on Bravo, underdeveloped camera time for Imrul, Jasmine, and Zak, whether Janet and Jason are 'too normal' for the Valley and Bravo-specific reality TV, Jesse's confounding interview about his Michelle's birth choices, how to make sense of the re-and post-coupling on Summer House (and yes, alternate views on Jesse and Lexi, Ciara and West, and Craig and Paige), Shamea v.

The journey continues. Over the course of this epic two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer who is currently hosting iHeart's podcast "Grown-Up Stuff") unpack the post-breakup expectations placed on Paige and Craig by the audience, edit, and each other, parsing the differing realities presented by Lexi and Jesse, one step forward and two steps back for some of the Southern Charm men, the different ways production for Southern Charm and Summer House - and the cast - have navigated Paige and Craig's new beginning (living separate lives), comparing Ciara and West's evolving dynamic to where Lexi and Jesse are now, and more. Sometimes the ring did mean a thing, and that thing is an absolutely certain final sale for custom orders unless a return aligns with WWHL filming- and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 673! Part 2!

After sending a small network of friends (everyone in her phone book and select (212)s she pulls out of a hat) pictures of her ideal engagement ring, she realizes that in the words of Kim Zolciak Biermann Zolciak Again, the ring didn't mean a thing. Or in Paige and Craig's case: did it even exist? Hot off the trail of that fascinating detail from their breakup, Sarah invites a friend over to the cloff who is well versed in the spectrum of takes on all things Southern Charm, Southern House, Bravo women and men: Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer who is currently hosting iHeart's podcast "Grown-Up Stuff"). They hand each other friendship bracelets and have a wide ranging, nuanced, and, yes, friendly deep dive of the post-breakup expectations placed on Paige and Craig by the audience, edit, and each other, parsing the differing realities presented by Lexi and Jesse, one step forward and two steps back for some of the Southern Charm men, the different ways production for Southern Charm and Summer House - an

The journey continues. Over the course of this epic two-parter, Sarah and AG guest cohost Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod "Ruined") deep dive the differences in energy and execution on the Summer House reunion vs. The Valley, Ciara's vulnerability talking about family dysfunction and how that has impacted her personal life, whether Paige's celebrity has outgrown Summer House, a disconcerting edit around Gabby and Imrul, an alternate universe in which Lexi and Jesse weren't the focus of this season's drama, Jax's decision to potentially Jax himself out of a home (and his profoundly inane 'after show' troubleshooting), Danny, Jasmine, and Melissa’s sit down (including the inequity they face as a queer couple), and more.

After checking an item off her bucket list (seeing Beyoncé live, and also not melting when it rained), Sarah realizes her next wish is to never leave her apt again, and deep dive a slighty...off center Summer House reunion, and crackling with energy Valley. And who better to take that journey than Sarah's pal, new Substack writer and Kyle Cooke stan Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod "Ruined"). They listen to "Love on Top" for 6-7 hours (as one does), and then over the course of this two-parter, deep dive the differences in energy and execution on the Summer House reunion vs. The Valley, Ciara's vulnerability talking about family dysfunction and how that has impacted her personal life, whether Paige's celebrity has outgrown Summer House, a disconcerting edit around Gabby and Imrul, an alternate universe in which Lexi and Jesse weren't the focus of this season's drama, Jax's decision to potentially Jax himself out of a home (and his profoundly inane 'after show' troubleshooting), Danny, Jasm

Sarah invites a new guest to the cloffice: Fantastic Frankey (self-proclaimed nerd commentator, media personality, and host of the DC Studios Showcase: The Official Podcast) to discuss their shared obsession, the hit HBO Max series "The Last of Us." For obvious reasons, S2 finale spoilers abound. They unpack their divergent backgrounds on TLOU history and how that has impacted the viewing experience, the different ways Ellie and Joel processed trauma and revenge, a wrenching moment from the penultimate episode that informs so much of their relationship, Pedro Pascal, America's Sweetheart (and Sarah's one true love), Jesse and Tommy's understanding of community, the differences between game and TV storytelling, why Sarah let out a 1am blood-curdling scream, Frankey's passion for TV, including DC, and her fave TV and movie picks, and more.

The journey continues. Over the course of this epic two-part birthday spectacular, Sarah and Dylan Hafer (director of entertainment content at Betches Media, host of "Mention It All," and creator of @BravoByBetches, also known as SBBD), discuss a fascinating edit from the Paige breakup scene (and Janet's episode of WWHL), Lexi and Jesse's PR pushes around their toxic relationship and breakup (bcc the Summer House reunion, and continued online debate), Phaedra's return to RHOA (and the quasi-surprising way the show addressed her prior exit), how/when grace under fire is applied to Porsha and Shamea's relationship, Dylan's reaction to Jax's mid-treatment video update, and more.

Sarah runs a quick errand, stocking up on a few bottles of water from the fountain of youth (unfortunately a bubbler would not work in the cloffice; please also familiarize yourself with RI terminology in advance of the RHORI premiere). After quenching her spiritual mid-twenties-plus thirst, she invites over a birthday boy ready to mention it all: Dylan Hafer (director of entertainment content at Betches Media, host of "Mention It All," and creator of @BravoByBetches, also known as SBBD).

Easy like a Sunday morning (and Sarah's inability to do anything but swipe left on Hinge). Sarah takes an Uber Pool to the Smithsonian, until she realizes with massive disappointment that, in fact, the Bravocon museum has not yet made a permanent installation. Even though Sonja's townhouse was avail for how many years? Just a GoFundMe away. She realizes there's in fact an alternate historian with deep Bravo roots back in the cloff, John Hill (cohost, "Andy Cohen Live" on Radio Andy SiriusXM, and host of the brand new Bravo pod, Show Pony). Perfect for a holiday threekend, this two parter covers it all: John's winding road in the world of reality TV, his current OG Bravo fascination (bcc: Jackie Warner), his dream BravoCon panel aka Classic Bravo Mount Rushmore, their shared love of Love Hotel (and Shannon's disconnect with Earl the Pearl), rumors about Dolores' possible new role on RHORI, RHONY casting reboot, What Would Jesse Solomon Do (...Erika Jayne?), and more.

Sarah watches her DVR holy trinity (The Valley, Summer House, RHOA) and realizes the cloffice has become a spiritual retreat. Inspired by a spring filled with content that inspires curiosity, she invites over a return guest who always mentions it all, Josh Lora (writer and content creator, also known as Tell The Bees). Apologies for a mini episode, hopefully 2.5 hours is the perfect pint sizes snack.

Sarah wakes up to another day in paradise: every day marked in the Google Cal since RHORI was announced aka a New England Bravoholic christening. Thrilled at a new beginning - and pizza bagel for life - she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal whose hand is always on the pulse of hot topics, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author).

As a famous writer girl once said, "all the world's a stage, and Jax and Jesse merely players." And with so much happening on Bravo of late, Sarah realizes she needs to cloffice kiki with a Bravoholic pal whose expertise is Bravo TV scene play: Annaleigh Ashford (Tony-award winning and Emmy nominated actress currently starring in "Happy Face" on Paramount+). They unpack how watching Bravo can be akin to Severance living, various Bravolebs' relationships with alcohol (and Brittany and Jasmine's upset toward what they felt was a Nia and Danny cover up), Annaleigh's reaction to the RHOBH reunion, and when "conflict as entertainment" crosses a line.

Sarah finds out the news that "Real Housewives of Rhode Island" aka RHORI is actually, finally, blessedly happening, and rushes to the cloffice to react to Bravo coming to her home state. "Rushes" days after finding out, on account of a lil cold (the ghost of Buddy Cianci - RIP RIP- heard she was gonna make a joke about his marinara and sent a chill to the UES). She shares the Providence Journal - Tobes' paper of record - reporting on the news, initial thoughts and feels about the "Italian/Warwick/fambily" press release vibes, as well as news about The Valley: Shahs remix, Ladies of London and London Housewives (and one specific member of the rumored cast), Andy's reaction to Page 6 reports about a RHONY reboot indefinite pause, and more.

Sarah begins a days-long nap thanks to a friend-of head cold/Tylenol cold and flu, during which she has the craziest dream: that Bravo confirmed plans for "Real Housewives of RI," a "Ladies of London" reboot, a Housewives spin of "Wife Swap," and maybe-news that New New York is on pause. But before those manifestations take over, a gab is on the list. With her voice in a state of de Lesepps, Sarah invites her Bravoholic pal Gibson Johns (host, "Gabbing with Gib") to the cloffice, where they unpack RHOA and The Valley's continued trajectory, differences of opinion on Porsha, what the network might do with Jax, and if Lala can be separated from Scheana from the audience (and network), Nene and Cynthia's friendship contract renewal, and more.

Sarah watches live coverage of the Met Gala while staring wistfully at her shoe children (they grow up so quick!), when she realizes she really needs to take a moment and enjoy the view with a fellow fashion icon. And who better to deep dive all things Housewives and joy than Real Housewives of Dallas alum, anesthesiologist, podcast host (calling Dr. Nicole!), and newly published author, Dr. Tiffany Moon ("Joy Prescriptions," out now!). They settle into the cloffice for an epic AG kiki: Dr. Tiffany's time on the Housewives, and the moment when her attorney needed to become a behind-the-scenes friend of, her role as spiritual advisor to Crystal and Dr. Nicole when they first joined their respective franchises, which RHOD alums she stays in touch with (and a perhaps surprising choice of who she'd like to join a reboot, if one were to happen), and how reality TV led to an emotional and vulnerable breakthrough with her mom.
