Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Sarah watches part 1 of the hopefully 1 part RHOBH reunion, and immediately clenches every muscle in her body and those closest to her apartment building, block, neighborhood, borough, coast, country, and hemisphere. She launches herself into space, fueled by some true WTF energy, and even though she aimed for the moon, landing near one of her Bravoholic pals is a true gold star: writer Louis Staples. They settle into the cloffice for a wide ranging two-part deep dive: gender dynamics around who gets 'permission' to change, how Bravo's interest in protecting its brand conflicts with unanswered questions about PK and Dorit's finances, initial impressions of Erika's "interesting" zinger at Garcelle, a cast-wide focus on selective, strategic empathy, Kyle's decision to equate her adult friend's decision not to film with Garcelle's minor son, and a devastating update from Teddi regarding her health. Kyle may not send PK a meme about this ep, but she's considering a messenger pigeon - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 6

The journey continues. Over this wild and jam-packed 2.5 hour mini episode (a true AG classic): Emily's awkward interaction with Rebecca Minkoff (is there any other kind) at the RHONY premiere event, a mutual therapy session/rage room about Garcelle's RHOBH legacy being under attack, the stinging truth behind Erika Jayne aka "it's expensive to be me" in all the ways that matter, Atlanta's continued shine (new episode to be unpacked on AG later in the week, and on a new AG Patreon, out now), continued WTF moments on Southern Charm and Summer House, and the new show that has both Sarah and Emily enraptured. The greatest minds in Hollywood watch Bravo, because taste, ammiright - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 655! Part 2!

Sarah starts her Sunday - hours before ATL's wild AF ep, unpacked on a Patreon AG out now! - the best way she knows how: googling "what is a sun salutation and does 'hello' count." She realizes peace and zen are great, but the BH finale gave her the Sunday Scaries, and she needs to talk/vent it out. So she opens the cloffice doors to a new guest, and perpetual delight: producer and content creator Emily Schwartz. They settle in for a wild and jam-packed 2.5 hour mini episode (a true AG classic): Emily's awkward interaction with Rebecca Minkoff (is there any other kind) at the RHONY premiere event, a mutual therapy session/rage room about Garcelle's RHOBH legacy being under attack, the stinging truth behind Erika Jayne aka "it's expensive to be me" in all the ways that matter, Atlanta's continued shine (new episode to be unpacked on AG later in the week, and on a new AG Patreon, out now), continued WTF moments on Southern Charm and Summer House, and the new show that has both Sarah and Emily enraptured.

Sarah finds out Garcelle is leaving RHOBH, and immediately lights a memorial candle for next season, and her heart. After mourning the loss and celebrating a Housewife choosing herself, and rage-spiraling over the wild post-finale WWHL that followed, she heads to the cloff for a meditation/mediation between dueling points of view. Among her RHOBH mention it all: Erika's continuously frustrating passive narration on Tom's crimes, what AGs thought her niche-viral "inside joke" aimed Garcelle's way actually meant, Sutton's misplaced search for loyalty aka validation, Dorit's traumatized Amex, and the importance of moving away from Fox Force stonewalling and closer to something resembling trust amongst friends. But won't he do it (Tom, and all the crimes) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 654!

The journey continues. Sarah and AG guest cohost Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod Ruined) continue to deep dive Southern Charm and Summer House. On part 2: past and present tension between Kyle and Hannah (and Craig and Paige and Amanda), a consistent dismissal of Giggly Squad’s success by male Bravolebs, West and Jesse's continued bromance (and the absolute car crash that is Jesse’s relationship with Lexi), Gabby's role on the show (More! Gabby! Needed!), new reveals from Paige about her relationship with Craig, and more. Lindsay and Carl aren't the center of drama, nature is healing - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 653! Part 2!

Sarah boards a Jitney to the Hamptons, armed with a 6-pack of Loverboy and a map to the house drawn by Jesse himself. After following a path for miles she realizes she's actually landed in an alternate space and time somewhere in Charleston, where she's greeted by Bailee, Gaston, and a variety of Summer House and Southern Charm tertiary characters. She realizes this is a sign from the good lord above - Michael the butler, RIP - to unpack Summer House and Southern Charm with her Bravo pal and Kyle Cooke translator, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for an epic two-part spectacular. On part 1: Shep's anger about ambition and Paige's role during filming, Craig's "growth" at the cost of interpersonal dynamics, Austen Kroll, season MVP (?), a dramatic reading of Shep's freckled text, the end-of-finale shock reveal about JT and Venita, Whitney's butterfly era, and the Bravoleb battle from casts 'representing' Craig and Paige. From freckled lips to Sarah's c

Inspired by RHOA and absolutely not a certain RHONJ's checking account, Sarah schleps to Balmain to see if there's a (vegan) hotdog x waffle x handbag collab she can purchase for the cloff. After being told her cackle is priceless but not valued at $30,000 per charitable cocktail, she realizes the next best gift is a convo with her Bravoholic BFF, Dylan Hafer (director of entertainment content at Betches Media, host of "Mention It All," and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They mention it all: troubling financial news hitting Franklin Lakes for Tre and He Who Shall Not Be Named, Shamea's continued performance excellence (fun confessionals and deep vulnerability), Sarah's delight in Angela aka Cynthia 2.0, Drew's efforts to Drew to new heights, Nene's recent remarks about possibly returning to the show, and more.

The journey continues. Sarah and AG guest cohost Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low") shift gears to RHOA, as they deep dive Shamea and Shadina's conversation about Black maternal health and mortality, Drew's seeming plan to film with Dennis (and Porsha's fourth-wall break), friendship tension between Shamea and Porscha, the immersive experience that is a Bravo TV after show, reveals from Paige about her relationship with Craig, and more.

Sarah watches the newest episodes of Beverly Hills and Atlanta and says a thankful prayer to Saint Lucia, patron saint of sandy beaches and good content, for the gift of good TV. Inspired by Boz's stewardship of the cast trip - and being a true friend holding Dorit to account - Sarah Zooms up one of her Bravoholic besties to set sail on some stormy, but always sassy, seas: Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod, "High & Low"). They wade into the waters of BH, ATL, Paige and Craig, and more. On part 1: BH! They unpack why Dorit sent them into a rage spiral (from WWHL to Instagram), the different ways Kyle and Sutton are navigating conversations with their estranged spouses, how Erika defines cruelty and empathy and why Sutton seems to be the target of choice, different perspectives on how Garcelle handled a friendship slight, and Kyle's decision to keep Morgan's name off camera. BBDB is Sarah's fave mother of dragons, and this ep makes them roar - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 651! Part 1!

Sarah celebrates St. Patrick's Day the best way she knows how: by playing Shannon Beador "Top O' The Morning" clips on a loop for 6 hours, and drinking in the joy, the humor, the light that was part 3 of the Potomac reunion. She may have been under the weather, but in the words of Stacey Rausch quoting Maya Angelou in the absolute wildest moment possible: "still I rise." And so have some thoughts and feels in this part 3 Potomac reunion deep dive: Sarah's internal monologue processing Stacey v. TJ v. sounding out TJ and not JT from Southern Charm vs. reality vs. 'dating' on reality TV, Eddie Osefo, the People's Prince, Wendy and Gizelle's perfect balancing act (humoring each other and the audience with an extra dose of accountability and zest), why Mia's exit was perfectly timed for the history books, and how to make sense of Karen and Ray's cringe-worthy scene. The future of Potomac next season is bright, and it's thanks to this impeccable reunion cycle - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 650! Read Chard's Say

Sarah schleps back from Paris, with memories to last a lifetime (ok, one memory in particular: but it's a pretty good one!). After settling back into NYC life, spiritually sponsored by every French pharmacie cold and flu medicine known to humankind, and also a sequined eye patch because LOL, she realizes there's a great American past time she missed most of all: deep diving the 11/10 sweet sixteen premiere episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." We are truly, truly blessed. Sarah shares her thoughts and feels about the post-suspension Kenya edit, Porsha and Shamea's past and present friendship tension, surprise over how the Simon of it all was handled, the new additions to the cast, "Drew, lol," and why production deserves an EGOT. Life twirls on, but this premiere will stay with Sarah for a while - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 649! C'est bon!

Before her schlep to Paris, Sarah realizes she first needs to unpack some emotional baggage (those luggage restrictions at JFK would never work for a Housewives reunion). With so much convo in the Bravosphere, she realizes the best way to talk through the nuance is with a new guest, making his cloffice debut, Josh Lora (writer and content creator also known as Tell the Bees on TikTok). They pop a bottle of Skinnygirl sangria (just kidding, haven't we all been through enough), and discuss West as modern dating's avatar, Giggler stans' military industrial complex, differing opinions on Ciara's initial reaction to West, the ways that women and gay men interact on and off Bravo TV, how misogyny often frames Bravo conversation, the double bind of likability, and why RHODC deserves a second look. Josh's opinion on Shan is the to be continued this nation deserves - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 648!

Sarah digs into some eggs a la français in the heart of Paris, and Googles "is Lu's pirate still available," before realizing something has caught her eye. A glass of champs and a baguette next to a French Pedro Pascal, yes, and also maybe a few of PK's international lenders (comedy podcast!), but also the memory of an AG recorded mere days ago, with new guest to the cloffice, content creator, Youtuber, and podcast host, Brooke Ashley. Memories! Sarah and Brooke settle into the cloff for a 'round the world' style convo: Brooke's Bravoholic journey, a review of Ashley Darby and Dr. Wendy's job performance (and how colorism has been handled on Potomac), the NJ Housewife Brooke would like to see remain off screen (maybe there's a sandwich franchise calling their name), Sutton's...villain era(?), the future of Housewives programming, and more. Check your taxes every time Sarah confuses Sutton and Dorit's names in her head - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 647! Salut! Read Chard's Sayonara Letter: https://www.dignitym

The journey continues. Sarah and AG guest cohost Erica Cobb (NAACP-Awards nominated host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' co-host of Accidentally Informed with Claudia Jordan) continue on their epic two-part odyssey. Over the course of this epic two-part spectacular, they discuss Dr. Greg's continued chaos on M2M (and why accountability is sorely lacking, for now), Erica's experience talking Housewives with a RHOA alum, surrogacy representation on Bravo, why Erica believes Mia is going to remain on Potomac (recorded before P3!), Boz's fertility and romantic journey, Sutton's rich card, Kyle's potential motivations with her paparazzi 'war of the roses,' and pretty girl currency.

Sarah gets ready for her journey in Paris only to realize, wait, without unpacking the emotional baggage on Potomac, Beverly Hills, and Married to Medicine, she can't be truly chic c'est la vie. So she throws her passport with some Kyle by Shahid caftans, and Zooms up her fave Bravo world traveler, Erica Cobb (NAACP-Awards nominated host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' co-host of Accidentally Informed with Claudia Jordan). Over the course of this epic two-part spectacular, they discuss Dr. Greg's continued chaos on M2M (and why accountability is sorely lacking, for now), Erica's experience talking Housewives with a RHOA alum, surrogacy representation on Bravo, why Erica believes Mia is going to remain on Potomac (recorded before P3!), Boz's fertility and romantic journey, Sutton's rich card, Kyle's potential motivations with her paparazzi 'war of the roses,' and pretty girl currency.

Sarah realizes that thanks to Joely Fisher's ghost RSVP, there may be an extra seat at Jennifer Tilly's Caviar Kaspia table. She shows up in full caftan splendor and a gifted case of Diamond Water - a fun gift for attendees, especially Dorit, because she loves diamonds and her house may be underwater - only to discover that the seat has in fact been taken, by Morally Corrupt's Playboy cover. No worries, great American history should be paid respect. So what better use of her now-available time than a convo with Bravoholic, NYT-bestselling author, and Karen truth seeker, Michael Arceneaux. They discuss latest developments - and feelings - about Karen's prison sentence, continuing confusion/concern over Mia's reunion (and season-long) instincts, owning the joy of watching this season of RHOBH, Sutton's enthusiasm for going low against Dorit, old Hollywood Reporter business tea about Boz, and why Sarah believes that Garcelle's value to the ensemble shouldn't be underestimated. Grab your (vegan paleo) caviar and

Sarah and AG guest co-host Tom Smyth (writer and Bravoholic) unpack all things The Traitors: a shocking exit mourned the nation over, strategic errors in this season's Traitors picks and essentially anything within 5 feet of Danielle, why the reunion may be particularly awkward for Danielle (and whether there is a line in how 'gamers' play Traitors, the difference in Danielle vs. Carolyn's performance strategy, and which reality TV franchise Sarah would love to see represented.

Sarah and TIP guest co-host Tom Smyth (writer and Bravoholic) sit down to record a Taking it Personally about The Traitors, when news breaks about Karen Huger's shock sentencing. This ep is one for the books. They react to the news which was announced moments before pressing record, discuss Karen's journey (and potential future) on the show, the judge's decision, whether the show would go on pause while she's in camp, and what a future of RHOP might look like without Karen.

Sarah watches part 1 of the Potomac reunion and thinks, this is it. This is a return to form, a comedic delight, a chance to Xerox a pic of Karen and frame it for the cloff, a shrine to a woman who once was and may or may not be again, and a friendship bracelet for Dr. Wendy and Gizelle. While away from the cloffice, RHOP is no far from mind, so Sarah mentions it all: Karen's handling of her DUI (and what the Washington Post/prosecutorial team has to say about her legal matter), Gizelle and Wendy's miracle on ice, Stacey's purity scale persona, Mia's conflicting narrative/one step forward (maybe), and two steps back, and why the reunion is a breath of fresh air regardless of whether the grande dame returns.

It ain't over til it's over. After watching the Augusta arc on RHOBH, Sarah goes back in time to an episode recorded right before her solo ep. There's just so much to unpack, and much like Sutton with Kyle and Garcelle, Sarah realizes she really needs an emotional support pal to go through this journey. Thankfully, she Zooms up her Bravoholic pal, Vanessa Rizi (one-half of the Real Moms of Bravo content creator/podcast empire). They discuss how to talk about Sutton's dad's death while also memorializing his life, why Reba didn't apply some of therapeutic background to the before/after of their family tragedy, Dorit's 'Come to Jesus' - style convo with Erika and Boz, and a possibly surprising take about Boz's paramour.
