Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast

The journey continues. Over the course of this double ep, Sarah and Caitlin react to the just-released RHOA midseason trailer, and unpack the seasons of Atlanta and Rhode Island so far, including feeling empathy for Housewives with difficult and important personal storylines who may not fit on their franchise, the continued joy of Angela Oakley (with a RHONY comparison that may take a second to understand), K. Michelle vs. Porsha and Drew, Liz's lack of understanding about 'hidden homelessness' and Alicia's response, the latest rumors and nastiness between Kelsey and Rosie, why even a cursory view of RHORI is a perfect rejection of any argument Ciara went too far, Amanda and West's 'situationship' that is really more Situation Room, the moments from the reunion that felt especially impactful, and why 'empathy' is often coded language for 'we think this person should get the privilege of audience silence.' Happy anniversary, AGs, but not you, Amanda and West - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 800! Part 2!

Happy AG 800ish! Sarah celebrates girl math the best way she knows how, by spending 700 hours talking RHOA, RHORI, and the Summer House reunion. And who better to mark this anniversary than with a girl boss creator/podcaster ready to opine: Caitlin Marshall (content creator, @BestiesByCaitlin and cohost of the pod "Retired Party Girls"). Just call this AG classic double mini episode a party in every way (except for celebrating a few Bravolebs). Over the course of this double ep, Sarah and Caitlin react to the just-released RHOA midseason trailer, and unpack the seasons of Atlanta and Rhode Island so far, including feeling empathy for Housewives with difficult and important personal storylines who may not fit on their franchise, the continued joy of Angela Oakley (with a RHONY comparison that may take a second to understand), K.

Happy anniversary, AGs - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 800! Part 1!

The journey continues. Over the course of this two parter, Sarah and Julia unpack Julia's journey as a Bravoholic and their highs, lows, and whoas from the Summer House reunion, including Amanda and West's lack of a cohesive narrative (vs. their "focus on correcting the timeline"), a FAFO philosophy without the last two letters, the difference in how Ciara felt about her relationship with West vs. Amanda (shock vs. betrayal/hurt), Julia's post-scandal sit-down with Jesse Solomon, a timeline that has less clarity now than ever before, bread crumbing the cast and audience, underlying spite from Amanda to Ciara, making sense of a pro-"empathy" aka silence response from the Bravo viewership, looking back at some critical moments over the season through a different lens, Julia's pitch as to why this season of The Valley is worth a watch, and more. Bailey v. Ben, no matter the cast changes, the future is bright - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 799! Part 2!

Still reeling from that historic Summer House reunion (part 1), Sarah realizes she has so much more to say. So after filing a trademark for "cloffice" and servicemark for "my name is Amanda and I am very fun," she heads into the cloff for a Zoom kiki that filled her spirit, thanks to Radio Andy's Julia Cunningham (host of The Julia Cunningham Show on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, live at 3pm ET/12pm PT). Over the course of this two parter, Sarah and Julia unpack Julia's journey as a Bravoholic and their highs, lows, and whoas from the Summer House reunion, including Amanda and West's lack of a cohesive narrative (vs. their "focus on correcting the timeline"), a FAFO philosophy without the last two letters, the difference in how Ciara felt about her relationship with West vs. Amanda (shock vs. betrayal/hurt), Julia's post-scandal sit-down with Jesse Solomon, a timeline that has less clarity now than ever before, bread crumbing the cast and audience, underlying spite from Amanda to Ciara, making sense of a pro-"empathy" aka silence response from the Bravo viewership, looking back at some critical moments over the season through a different lens, Julia's pitch as to why this season of The Valley is worth a watch, and more. There may be an available room on Summer House next season, and Sarah's happy to fill it with her love for Carl - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 799! Part 1!

Sarah attends Bravo's Summer House reunion screening and shrieks so loudly that she puts herself on a self-imposed silent retreat (West understands both of these words, with different meaning). After imagining a combo of downward dog and cat/cow (back hilling, back hilling), she moves into a more sustainable yoga position - sitting upright in the cloff - for a deep dive of the Summer House reunion part 1. Among this wide-ranging mention it all: West and Amanda's consciously uncoupled perspective on accountability/shame, Ciara's powerhouse performance (bcc Carl and Jesse and Dame Lindsay Hubbard), betrayal vs. shock, putting an expiration date on impulse control, West and Amanda's bewildering use of "the timeline" to avoid accountability and also continue to seemingly boldface lie about when things turned, the history of using Ciara as a "vessel," KJ's moving vulnerability about his mental health struggle and diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, calling Amanda "weak" (and the sky, blue), Amanda's seemingly underlying spite at Ciara, and why Sarah will be first in line at Jesse Solomon's next NYC performance. Bailey studied at the Lindsay Hubbard school of drama, and Sarah appreciates the dedication to craft - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 798!
