Show Notes
We're unpacking RHOC, Below Deck Med, Scamanda, the In The City reunion and why reality TV continues to fascinate us.
Today I'm joined by one of my favourite people and an OG Pop Therapy collaborator, the one and only Heidi Anderson. Former reality TV star, radio host, PR queen and genuine legend, Heidi joins me for a conversation that goes everywhere - from the current state of The Real Housewives and Below Deck Med to why we're so fascinated by human behaviour, conflict and the beautifully messy ways people navigate life.
We unpack the reality TV shows that still have us hooked, the franchises that may have lost their spark, and why authentic storytelling will always beat manufactured drama. We also dive into accountability, redemption arcs, mental health, family dynamics and what reality TV can actually teach us about ourselves.
Plus, Heidi shares what's next for her, including her exciting new upcoming podcast, Shit Scared.
