It’s the day I’ve been waiting for since the day I started this podcast more than 2 years ago. Anyone who listens, knows the one show I mention over and over again is SHARK TANK. It’s my absolutely favorite unscripted show and I am beyond privileged to talk to Executive Producer Yun Lingner. Yun has been with the show since the pilot, and we talk all about how the show started and how it’s evolved. She answers some of my burning questions of how the donuts are made and shares some good gossip on the Sharks!

Kyle Richards – RHOBH May 01, 2018

Show notes

Whether you know her from her acting past (Halloween, Little House on the Prairie!) or from her 8 years as one of the OG’s from The Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards needs no introduction. Kyle was born into show business, left to get married and raise her 4 daughters & then went back into the game for what she thought would be an easy low key show. How did that turn out?:) We have a lot of fun talking about the Housewives and her new show American Woman premiering June 7th on the Paramount Network. We go deep into her childhood growing up as a showbiz kid the 70’s, talk about why Mauricio's family didn't want her to marry him and how she became an extroverted introvert. Enjoy!

Eliot Goldberg – the REAL story of the Kardashians Mar 26, 2018

Show notes

It's the REAL story of that Krazy family from the guy who brought them to your screen 10 years ago. Eliot Goldberg took a flyer on a Hollywood clan who seemed so weird and wacky he didn’t know what to make of them at first. You may have heard a lot of versions of how the Kardashians came to be, but this is how it really happened, from the very first meeting on that fateful day in 2007. I have a great chat with the head of unscripted at AMC and Sundance Channels. Eliot oversees some great series like THE TALKING DEAD AND the "Visionaries" anthology series including James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction and Eli Roth’s History of Horror.
