Anna Peele PLUS RHOP S6 Trailer Thoughts!

This week Conor kicks off with a rundown of the amazing trailer for season 6 of Real Housewives of Potomac (That runs from 1.04 - 5:42 if you want to skip!) and is then joined by journalist Anna Peele for a mammoth deep dive into Real Housewives.

Anna wrote an amazing piece for New York Magazine called The Soul of Bravo that looked at how the network and it's Real Housewives shows (And others!) had to deal with the changing conversation around social issues in America. Anna got to speak to so many of our Real Housewives faves and has amazing exclusive gossip from the likes of Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais and Gizelle Bryant amongst others, tells us what she learned about how data and audience research shapes the shows AND how her piece ended up being addressed by Porsha Williams of RHOA after it dropped. It's a piece full of Housewives nuggets but also lots of insight into how reality TV gets made!
