## Resource

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. To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here . Hosted on Acast.
