For better & for worse the pandemic changed this pod

“Listened dating back to Bethenny vs. Carole so this was tough to write out.
The usual tics that people lowly rate (guest interruptions) have always been there so I’m less rating it low for that, but given that post-pandemic the host is expanding her guest reach it can definitely be a more uncomfortable dynamic created. I also still am mad in how Sarah can be so aloof in how she will tell somebody they didn’t know they were in NY just because not everyone wants to live in the UES.
I mention that there was some good in how the show shifted in expanding beyond just people in NYC (sorry, Evan Ross Katz wishcasting is uninteresting to me) due to the COVID lockdown but the bad part of that includes a sense of entitlement tied to the perceived soft power of Bravo, with Sarah quite transparently wanting to be righteous. It’s a mistake to think people watch Bravo as an agenda-driven delivery system meant to uplift people/beliefs when each Housewives show has at least one dark sided event or backstory (Sarah often ignores this, eg her love of the Manzos when their mob ties and what Dina alleges is straight up Sopranos-style thuggery). I understand Sarah worked at events with people in power before but these Bravo stars are people who signed up to be on TV with the expectations of getting money & brand deals. It’s sometimes not that deep.
It seems Ryan and Damian are no longer welcomed back to the show due to some political split over global events of the past fall. That is unfortunate as they felt like the few people who’d challenge Sarah on her points and could also deal with her interruptions. Sarah is still merging outrage at Palestinian citizens being murdered with antisemitism as if progressive Jews who are anti-Netanyahu do not exist nor can any reasonable person can be outraged at both. For somebody who sought BLM clout in 2020, she sure wanted them to stay silent on state sanctioned murder of innocents.
Anyway, I have fallen off this show mainly because her hyper-fixations on topics trickle into multiple episodes that are really not that interesting (and as somebody who works in audio editing, she’d do herself a lot of good by getting somebody to edit the show for her as she could probably save herself a lot of grief by not self-editing. In her defense, RHONY falling off and even with the decent reboot definitely messed with the flow. She only really likes RHOBH and falls off talking about other stuff repeatedly. Her jumping on the Scandoval bandwagon when she swore off talking about VPR for YEARS just feels like she’s chasing engagement than having strong feelings.”

“Good, witty commentary and excellent guests. I also like that Sarah doesn't back down on her opinions even when she has guests who are close with or have different opinions about Bravo stars that she doesn't like.”Read full review »

“I love the Real Housewives so I was so so so happy to find this podcast. They have amazing guests on with inside scoop no one is talking about- an obvious plus! The issue I have though is over the female's voice. It's just too much. Too much screeching, too much yelling JUST TOO MUCH. I...”Read full review »

“This is a pretty good podcast and I would've listened to it more than once if I almost hadn't crashed my car the first time THAT LAUGH came bursting out of the speakers. Honestly, the level of the laugh is bad enough that I won't listen to the podcast again. You've had enough...”Read full review »
