August 19, 2023 00:35 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBIt's the home stretch and Sarah's bewildered that she has actually made it to the end. Consider this the final part of the holy trinity - the final (for now) chapter in Bethenny's storied interview with Rachel Leviss.

Sharing is Caring (with Louis Staples)
August 05, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBSarah reads about the shocking legal letter sent to NBC/Bravo about unsafe working conditions, and realizes the only way to begin to unpack the allegations is with a fellow Housewives anthropologist.

July 29, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBSarah interprets Tamra's steely eyed gaze as some sort of Morse Code to invite a new guest to the People's People's Couch - and there's no need for a video village intervention on this one.

July 19, 2023 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBAfter continuing to reflect on And Just Like That, Sarah realized she had more to say. And who better to embrace that deep dive than OG of the AG Damian Bellino and Anne Rodeman (co-hosts, "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss whether it's truly possible to separate Sex and the City from the spinoff/reboot, why the show feels like it's been written by an intimacy coordinator, confusion about Miranda (and Cynthia Nixon's) role in the current universe, and Kim Cattrall's triumphant GTFOH pr...
Catch RHONY If You Can (with Tracie Morrissey)
July 18, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBThe RHONY premiere has finally arrived: it's Turtle Time!

And Sarah has a few things to say, about Allison DuBois' season one prediction, on and off camera whispers about their marriage, and more.

Oh, Brother (with Damian Bellino)
June 17, 2023 07:00 - 2 hours - 115 MBSarah receives a RHONJ-style spoof call, which she immediately answers (maybe it's from WWHL and she's being asked to bartend for Shan). She's met with a moment of breathy silence, before being asked if she wants to buy a stockpile of Fabellini pizza ovens - because who needs a margarita pizza when you can have bellini instead. She politely declines the opportunity, for a different slice of heaven - a 900-hour deep dive with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the po...

There's Something About Her - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 420! (Don't tell Mar...
In the Words of Luis Ruelas: Let's Play (A RHONJ Reunion Deep Dive)
June 07, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 81.7 MBEqual parts inspired and unnerved by part 2 of the RHONJ reunion, Sarah records an emergency 90-min (LOL) deep dive to unpack RHONJ: a lesson in crime and punishment. Or rather, it's not about the crime, but the coverup. Or rather, what are these dark arts in private investigating, and how do we never sign up? Sarah discusses the differences between assumption and evidence pertaining many allegations of foul play and upset amongst the cast, updates to the release of information about the Mel...
Tom Sandoval is the Most Extra (with Kate Aurthur)

Inspired by Bravo's cinematic arts, Sarah invites a new guest to the People's People's Couch for an epic deep dive: Sami Sage (cofounder and chief creative officer, Betches Media, and host of the Morning Announcements pod).

Tre Stumped (A RHONJ Reunion Deep Dive)
May 31, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBNot even a deadly cold will keep Sarah away from unpacking the NJ reunion kick-off. So after waking from a 48-hour light coma (which included a dream about, you guessed it, the Toms), Sarah moves closer in convo to Toms River, aka Tre vs. Melissa: Endgame. She discusses Luis' on-camera motivations as a distraction from a deeper dive, revisionist history Teresa is now proclaiming as fact, and why convo around the kids (including off camera), is deepening a cast divide. Namaste, go away, to Sa...

They discuss Sandoval's strategic invalidation of his friendship with James and Scheana, a re-analysis of Katie and Schwartz' relationship and pre-Scandoval c...
Succession: The Fall of the Roman Empire (with Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo)
May 25, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 65 MB"If it is to be said, so it be, so it is." As Greg so beautifully noted - probably while footstooling - today marks a Ramotional New Beginning in the history of AG's sassy social experiment: the premiere episode of "Taking it Personally!" TIP continues the kinds of conversations Sarah loves to have about Housewives: unpacking the psychology and community behind some of her favorite shows. And of course, she needed to deep dive her #1 GOAT: Succession. So she Zooms up one of her fave Bravohol...
Love & Marriage: Franklin Lakes (with Carlos King)
May 23, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBSarah Googles her astrological chart, only to realize she's a Rising "Season 25: Oprah Winfrey Behind the Scenes."

Yes, they began recording this episode at 2am, flying by the seat of their pants (spiritually, of course - Sarah was in a robe). They unpack Ariana's magnificent expression of rage as a rallying...
Soundoval (A Meditation)
May 17, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 43.9 MBChild's pose, downward dog, cat/cow, and poo poo heads. These are the positions of yoga, of meditation, of growth. And after Sarah shares her thoughts on the New Jersey finale, including Luis' John Mahdessian Energy, a shocking VPR finale clip that raises additional questions about the Scandoval timeline, and the questions Sarah would ask Ariana about Sandoval, she limbers up in the cloffice for a sound(s) bath that Jax's reiki instructor Kelsey said is so good she's calling it Jason instead...
