  How delightful to have regular contributor Emer McLysaght as a guest for this episode alongside her writing partner Sarah Breen. Emer and Sarah are responsible for the publishing phenomenon that is the Oh My God What a Complete Aisling books, and they've teamed up again for a new novel: Our Deadly Summer. We caught up on why they decided to stick together for this book, and why they didn't simply write another Aisling book, and the joy of writing a novel set in the heady nostalgia of the early 2000s.

• Reality Catch-Up: Housewives Anthropologist and Journalist Brian Moylan 22.05.2026 58мин

  The minute I started reality Fridays I knew I wanted to talk to Brian Moylan. I've been reading Brian's Housewives recaps since I was a solo viewer with no one to talk to about what I was watching, and since then his significance in the culture has only grown. Aside from the recaps he writes for Vulture and his own Substack, he authored The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives, worked with Erika Jayne on her book Pretty Mess, and has presented countless panels at Bravocon and similar events. If you watch the Housewives or any Bravo shows, you will love this chat.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here. Hosted on Acast.
