Consider This for Comfort

From messy reads, iconic confessionals, and explosive reunions to the personal sacrifices women "of a certain age" make for fame, Nichole Hill (Our Ancestors Were Messy) joins Eteng to break down the cultural phenomenon that is Real Housewives. Together, we explore why Bravo's hit reality TV franchise keeps audiences hooked, how the Housewives formula is just like sports, and what the show reveals about fame, friendship, and the business of reality television. Plus: why watching the Housewives may be one of the most honest ways we engage with entertainment. And, of course, the iconic question: "Were you all doing cocaine in the bathroom?" --- Follow Nichole: https://thesecretadventuresofblackpeople.com/our-ancestors-were-messy https://www.instagram.com/nicholewthanh   New here?

Who was the best "A"? And why do texts have the power to ruin everything? Yessi Sanchez, podcast host (No Map Included) and co-founder of Artak Pictures, joins Eteng to revisit Pretty Little Liars. Growing up between cultures, Yessi watched the teen drama as a window into the American high school experience. We get into secrets, shared trauma, and why everything feels so high-stakes in high school.  Plus: We also chat about the state of teen and young adult television today and how comfort shows open the door to much-needed conversations about identity, friendship, growing up and so much more. --- Follow Yessi: https://www.nomapincluded.com/ https://www.instagram.com/yessisth/   New here?

Emmy Award-winning writer and comedian Josh Gondelman (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Desus & Mero, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) wants you to consider the beloved animated comedy Bob's Burgers for comfort.

Brooklyn-based comedian and podcast host Amelia Ritthaler joins Eteng to dive into Bridgerton and why we can't look away.
