The minute I started reality Fridays I knew I wanted to talk to Brian Moylan. I've been reading Brian's Housewives recaps since I was a solo viewer with no one to talk to about what I was watching, and since then his significance in the culture has only grown. Aside from the recaps he writes for Vulture and his own Substack, he authored The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives, worked with Erika Jayne on her book Pretty Mess, and has presented countless panels at Bravocon and similar events. If you watch the Housewives or any Bravo shows, you will love this chat.

As I'm away on holidays I thought it was a great opportunity to chat about pop music with Cian Sullivan. We discuss the return of Madonna, the anointment of Sabrina Carpenter, Zara Larsson's fascinating pop trajectory, Ella Langley's success, the Billie Eilish film and the new Charli XCX. I hope you enjoy.

This week Carl Kinsella and I had lots of interesting stories to discuss from the results of the UK election to what's happening with our by-election, whether we need to be worried about Hantavirus, an unsurprising report from MSF about Gaza and a primer on why the World Cup is relevant to global news this year.

Yeah, that's right, I said boring. Sorry, but the ladies of Beverly Hills are not doing it for me this season. I chat through my many feelings about MAFS: Australia, and what we're seeing about traditional values on reality tv at the moment. I also cover The Valley, Below Deck, Summer House, Ladies of London and the latest news from reality tv in general!
