Welcome to Reality Bites, the podcast where we deep dive into this week's buzziest Reality TV, Pop Culture and Bravo happenings, through a behind-the-scenes lens into how the shows are made in a way you won't find anywhere else. Co-hosts and best friends since college, Reality Producer Lauren and 9-to-5er Betsy have been bantering about all things Bravo for the better part of a decade. Join us as we peel back the curtain, taking you on a wild ride!
Reality Bites takes you through your favorite shows - via episode recaps, and behind the scenes “Producer’s Corner” editions that deep dive into topics in the Reality TV zeitgeist - with reactions, commentary, and a window into how the cast, story and we as viewers may have gotten there.
