The Golden Life: Old Friends, Fresh Offences

Pop Therapy

Show Notes

Lindsay Clancy questions, a career-best Robert Pattinson, and my close and personal friend Dorinda Medley’s return to television. We have things to discuss.

First, a Lindsay Clancy case update and the circulating claims about her car being and its sale, shortly after the children’s deaths.

Then, Primetime. Robert Pattinson had me gripped. The ethics had me squirming. I get into the ambition, approval and ugly compromises behind a To Catch a Predator-style ratings machine.

Plus, The Golden Life delivers gloriously unrestrained RHONY nostalgia. The girls are back, the grievances have aged (un)gracefully, and Dorinda has taken to Threads. But Sonja has me wondering, where the entertainment ends and the concern begins.
