Stay ConnectedComedian & pop culture critic Jolenta Greenberg has a theory: reality TV isn’t ruining culture – it is culture. Join her and a cast of sharp, funny guests as they dig into the details behind the drama and unpack why we can’t get enough of those iconic scenes and unforgettable characters. This is the place for highbrow conversations about “lowbrow” TV
