Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Brushing With Broad Strokes in Beverly Hills (with Brice Sander) Sep 03, 2022

Show notes

Sarah realizes it's Wednesday PM, time to watch Entertainment Tonight (no, not RHOBH. Shudder. Shudder to think this is entertainment). She realizes after another very dark and problematic ep of BH, that a bit of TLC (tender loving content) is in order. So she Zooms up ET's own chief Housewives correspondent (and a man who majored in nuance at Housewives U), Brice Sander. They explore whether the Fox Force will ever 'allow' Sutton a seat at the table, the difficulty of expecting nuanced reactions from a Housewives audience but not its cast, and why it can be helpful to hold off on judgement for a new franchise's premiere season. Sarah isn't a fan of judging someone's physical tics: go for their character, instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 340!

Oof, Rinna's So Angry (with Kiki Monique aka @TheTalkofShame) Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

After another few days in the wilds of RHOBH discourse online (it's toxic and it's loud, and there's almost no escape), Sarah realizes she needs to go to a place of Zen, of long-form analysis and bagel influence, an AG kiki with Kiki Monique aka @TheTalkofShame (professional talker, social media journalist, CEO of deep dives, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry with Lemonada Media). They react Lisa Rinna's wild accusations on IG about who was behind the attack (Kathy Hilton, LVP, and her own show's producer have all been targets of Rinna this week), Erika's still-suspended discovery phase of finding out Tom is - spoiler alert- not great, an important missing piece in Apollo's conversation about Phaedra. Kimora has enjoyed life in the fast lane, and we're ready for her to zoom over to BH - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 339!

Bots and Prayers for BH with @BravoBravoDuckingBravo Aug 27, 2022

Show notes

Someone is very morally corrupt. Sarah is joined by IG investigative creator @BravoBravoDuckingBravo, for an exhaustive deep dive on the shocking online attacks against RHOBH Garcelle Beauvais' 14-year-old son, Jax. They answer questions about what happened (Why do so many people believe this was a coordinated attack? What's a bot farm? And what is the connection between comments aimed at Jax and what's been said recently by the cast?), and discuss what this means for Garcelle's future on the show, and how this could and should impact the upcoming reunion. Some cast members may have been selectively silent, but this convo holds nothing back - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 338!

Episode 337 - with Kendrick Tucker Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Sarah realizes the Housewives universe would be a great fit for a comic book series (starting with Shannon Beador, whose superhero skill would be placing 9 lemons in a bowl to achieve world peace). So she Zooms up her fave Housewives/comic book savant, Kendrick Tucker (host, "Reality and Comics Too"). They explore the importance of villains who truly drive story forward (Marlo, take note), respecting foes who push favorites to do their best work (Kenya on both sides), and the difference between 'oversensitive' fans vs those wanting to hold Rinna accountable. No pigeons were harmed in the making of this convo, but the same can't be said for Denise during BH Season 10 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 337!

Episode 336 - with Kevin Fallon and Louis Peitzman Aug 20, 2022

Show notes

Sarah watches one of the Avengers movies (no she doesn't), and realizes it's time to regroup with AG's #writergirl super panel. So she assembles an all-mighty Zoom with writers, editors, and Housewives dramaturgical society co-presidents, Kevin Fallon (senior entertainment editor, The Daily Beast) and Louis Peitzman. This dream team trio deep dives how Lisa Rinna's perception of grief as a permission slip is landing differently in reality, the connective thread of childhood trauma in Chanel Ayan's story (and why other aspects of storytelling on Dubai are helping a troubling narrative with its government), and whether simply being provocative is enough to hold a full-time peach (sorry, Marlo). They've got teeth and what NYC considers "homes," just don't tell Dorit - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 336!

Episode 335 - with Daniel Stokes Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

Sarah watches the latest Married to Medicine and realizes there's no high quite like a Dr. Simone inspired cackle. So she Zooms up one of her fave laugh connoisseurs, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex, and co-host of the new pod Thots and Prayers). They unpack whether Dr. Heavenly is overstepping as a friend (and cast member) by disparaging Dr. Contessa's marriage online, why Rinna's alliance stays quiet when she gets absurdly loud, and the importance of holding personal-fave Housewives to account (bcc: Kyle). BH may be barely halfway through its season, but at least this convo flies by - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 335!

Episode 334 - with Vanessa from @RealMomsOfBravo Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

Sarah takes her baby boy PK Kemsley to his fish pediatrician for a check up (aka staring at his tank and blowing him a kiss) and realizes what they both need is a Bravoholic check in. So she Zooms up one of her fave content creators and podcasters, Vanessa from @RealMomsofBravo, for a nuanced convo about the ways Crystal could potentially use the construct of Housewives and 'friendship' to apply pressure to the Fox Force, how Kyle has been given a pass to produce conflict by the cast but not the audience, and why Atlanta is delivering on engagement while BH feels like Real Housewives of Deflection. Rinna says Harry Hamlin thinks this convo is great (aka he doesn't know what a podcast is) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 334!

TW: this episode includes discussion about eating disorders

Episode 333 - with Veronica Leventhal Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

Sarah realizes the Bravo universe needs a People's People's Court, a space dedicated to the pursuit of justice from one Bravoholic to the next. So she Zooms up Veronica Leventhal, an expert in the field - she works as a forensic social worker in juvenile justice! - to litigate some juvenile behaviors on Housewives. They explore the connective thread on Beverly Hills and Atlanta around possibly-misdirected expressions of anger, the ways Kyle's self-producing with Sutton has produced a spiritual and literal villain edit, and the missing component in Ralph's book journey (his wife's voice in their marriage). Sarah and Veronica aren't digging through mountain dirt, but this convo is a gem nevertheless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 333!

Episode 332 - with Richie Skye Aug 06, 2022

Show notes

Sarah emulates Big Carole Energy - having 5 last good summers and oh yes LOL being a writer girl - after her first article is published in the Daily Beast. About, what else, RHOBH. And who better to celebrate her published rage spiral than one of her fave content creators, Richie Skye. They discuss the troubling positioning of Crystal's ED as conversation without her active participation and consent, why Kye's refusal - or inability - to stand on her own is keeping her from being a true center diamond, and what the cast wants to actively hide by calling Sutton a liability. This episode may be a roller coaster, but at least the cost of admission isn't a person's soul (bcc Erika Jayne, Mikey is looking for yours at lost and found) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 332!

TW: this episode includes discussion about eating disorders and body dysmorphia

Episode 331 - with B. Graeter aka Petshopboy Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Taylor Armstrong is a Housewife once more - kinda - so Sarah has to celebrate with one of her fave friends-of! So she Zooms up B. Graeter (aka Petshopboy and host of the podcast The B List) to discuss Taylor's historic transfer from BH to OC (and the surprising decision to have her join as a friend-of), why the Twitterverse is turned off by Marlo, and what Kandi and Todd get right about honesty and support (bcc: Drew and Ralph). While Sarah may have said the wrong ep number once again, this convo is everything right - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 331! Probably!
