## Resource

Kevin Fallon is Editor-at-Large of Obsessed at The Daily Beast, host of Obsessed: The Podcast, and writer of the Obsessed substack. He joins the show for a deep dive into the pop culture corners worth obsessing over. We get into the enduring chaos of The Real Housewives, revisit the underrated charms of Ladies of London, and unpack why the new Michael Jackson biopic Michael is, in Kevin's words, a sanitized hagiography that never reckons with its subject. Kevin also pulls back the curtain on what it's really like working in media right now, and closes the conversation with three book recommendations you'll want to add to your stack.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List:  https://katecasey.substack.com   Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Twitter:  https://twitter.com/katecasey   Instagram:  http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en   Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245   Amazon List:  https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey   Like it to Know It:  https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
