Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast (Sarah Galli)

Paging Dr. Heavenly, Dr. Simone, Dr. Jackie, maybe Quad. Sarah watches the new Married to Med, and immediately searches ZocDoc to see if Dr. Heavenly can take a consultation over Zoom. Undeterred by an "Lol" response, she fills a prescription for a deep dive, joined by Gibson Johns (host of the new pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They settle in for a Married to Med and Potomac deep dive, and discuss the reasons Dr. Simone is a top 5 Housewife, the importance of knowing M2M's history before engaging with its present, what Quad and Mariah have in common, Phaedra's continued self-producing (including, potentially, in her tbd dating life), the disconcerting lack of cast convo around Dr. G., as well as the current hurdles facing the cast of Potomac in Austin trip. Sarah met her holy trinity at BravoCon - Dr. Damon, Cecil, and Eugene - for which she will always be thankful - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 485!

Thank you Jesus, it's an Easter Sunday NJ delight (Sarah's childhood rabbi also approves). Sarah welcomes Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga to the People's People's (blessed) Couch, to discuss what the tabloids have gotten wrong about Joe's alleged walk-off during the upcoming reunion, whether Melissa can ever do enough to show her loyalty to Tre, and why Jen Aydin's 'fan' origin has worked against developing true relationships with the cast. Sarah also chats about the OC finale, explores Gina's motivations/goals in her ongoing arguments with Shannon, and unpacks the ways Dr. Jen is working against the opportunity to break from a dysfunctional marriage. Don't be green with Envy about this chat, because everyone looks better in pink - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 303!

Viva Las Vegas! Sarah deep dives her thoughts on BravoCon Day 3, which included the most emotionally intense, and absolutely chaotic, panel moments of the weekend (shoutout Beverly Hills and New Jersey), how different cast members responded to guttural reactions from Bravo fans, the joy of an 84-year-old BravoConlebrity anointed to her throne, the difficulty of watching a former Housewife seemingly play smart and stupid during an ep taping of WWHL (....Teddi Jo), Craig's powerhouse performance at the Southern Charm panel (consistent with this season's eps), and Kelly's surprising update from Bethenny Frankel. Be strong, Sarah's near lack of voice, for she truly mentioned it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 476!

Sarah unpacks P1 of the VPR reunion. And let's just say, she is *pumped* to mention it all: Tom's now vs. then reframe of his controversial remarks to the NYT, Katie and Lala's fight about "reality" and reality TV, Ariana's decision to not watch this season (and how that will impact her strategically and otherwise), and what "at peace" means for Sandoval's mom.

Happy New Year, Sassies! While welcoming 2025 to the cloffice, Sarah decides it's the perfect time to watch some scary movies. So after putting in a Tom Cruise classic (his Katie Holmes wedding video), she realizes this is actually the perfect energy for discussing new New York. So after finally catching up on the season (...lol), she invites a Bravoholic pal to the cloff: Housewives writer and culture commentator, Louis Peitzman. Over this epic two part episode, the two unpack a perhaps hot take on Garcelle and RHOBH, the rise of Dorit Kelsey (and WTF will happen with Mauricio and PK a la future filming), the impact of Bravo fame/criticism for Housewives kids (and the difficulty of ascertaining filming consent), Mia's missteps with Gizelle, Britani's unmissable flop era, possible troubleshooting for RHONY, and the power of a true ensemble. New New York might be very bad, but this convo is just too good - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 626! Part 1!

Sarah discovers that Bravo has announced a new show about young Americans in Paris, and immediately begins a one-woman-strike of Bravo content (c'est lol) to secure a role on S2, until she realizes that the second best impact is to, ya know, double down on RHOBH. So she Zooms up a Bravo pal with a French-sounding handle (c'est bon c'est bon!), Priscilla from @BonjourBitchesBlog and the merch shop @feministcringe. They unpack the ways that social media, WWHL reveals, and alliances are impacting and confusing on-camera storylines, the tension between potentially ignoring problematic behavior and potentially hiding problematic footage, and the secondhand embarrassment of Erika's ongoing attempts to paint herself as a victim of Sutton's honesty. Bravo likely has the footage that would put Tahoe-gate to rest, and it's prob locked in the same production closet as that boat ride in Cartagena - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 317!

Sarah reacts to the Atlanta reunion the best way she knows how: by going to Petco to buy a bone for her fish son, PK (Drew has truly embraced her spiritual Carrot Top, and unlike Teddi Jo, Sarah supports carrots in all forms), and Zooming up a man who knows himself a Housewife-prescribed cease and desist, Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com and co-host of Page 6 pod "Virtual Reali-tea" with Danny Murphy). They discuss why Erika's "fake news" defensiveness doesn't translate on reality tv (or IRL), how the currency of Housewives is affected when the show casts already-wealthy and connected figures, and whether Marlo can (and will) move away from job shaming Kandi. Talk is cheap, unless you've got $750,000 earrings to spare - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 343!

Sarah is currently on a plane of existence as far yet unknown to Neil deGrasse Tyson - she’s saying hi to George Clooney a la Gravity, good to almost meet you Jlo in that weird new AI robot thing, and oh look, the moon and stars above also known as a world where Summer House plays 24/7. After recording a deep dive in her mind, she decides to also take to the mic, with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They deep dive Lindsay’s PR strategy a la “A Beautiful Mind,” Kyle’s lead role in Lindsay and Carl’s relationship, what did production know/assume about the pick-up in filming, the lack of bloat in a 2-part edit that also missed many key storylines throughout the season (including Lindsay vs. Carl), how sexuality has been handled - and sometimes, weaponized - on Bravo and online, and why having those convos as a pejorative or without said cast member’s participation is not a “mention it all” opp. This season of Summer House will live on forever, and so will Sarah’s thoughts on Kyle - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 549!

Much like Ginger Zarin, Storm Umansky, and of course Archie Beador, Sarah is so excited for an IRL cloffice kiki that she finds herself barking excitedly (that also might be a reaction to Sparkle Dog). She welcomes one of her faves back to the People's People's Couch: Gibson Johns (host of the podcast, "We Should Talk"). They do just that, discussing the way some Housewives perform being desensitized around toxic online discourse for strategy and survival, the difference between hosting a party and providing a space (which both Jen and Angie K. are getting wrong), and a piece of presidential wisdom that some Housewives would do well to remember (or maybe, for the sake of tv, not). If anyone dares spill an ounce of champs on Sarah's blowout, she's calling the fashion police - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 365!

Sarah heads to Los Angeles for a few days of post-Bravocon TLC (Tender Loving Cackle). She realizes the best way to work through her weekend, is with someone with whom she shares many things in common, including a royal title: Dame Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives.") They settle into Brian's People's People's Couch (a place Sarah fully intends to take over), and unpack their BravoCon personal highs and lows, Brian's experience moderating the Summer House panel (and his observations of Lindsay and Carl onstage and off), nuanced (differing) takes on the Housewivesian persona used by some audience members during panel Q&As, words of wisdom for future attendees, the omg and wtf moments of the weekend, and what Jeff Lewis got right and wrong in his panel with Andy. Don't tell Tom Sandoval, but his BravoCon neck tattoo was as temporary as some cast member upset - it's Andy's Girls in LA, Episode 477!

The perfect ingredientses for the second day at BravoCon? Emotional vulnerability and extra cackle, duh! Sarah is joined by one of her absolute fave Bravoholic pals, and a NAACP-nominated one at that - Erica Cobb (co-host, "Daily Blast Live," and host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show. They settle into an Uber-sassy hotel suite (as one does), and pod/show swap (video of this convo up shortly!) about conversations with Emily Simpson and Candiace Dillard Bassett that brought Erica and Sarah to tears on day two, the importance of finding nuance (and understanding the ways triggers and projection can sometimes make that an impossible challenge), Bravo's press room strategy (and why podcasts want to finally friend-of), and Erica's exclusive interview with Margaret Josephs about a shocking, seemingly AI-created audio file alleged to feature Marg's voice saying racist slurs, 'surprisingly' dropped on social days before BravoCon and days after Ramona was disinvited. Sounds like a real quagmire, anybody have a PI on call - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 475, live from Vegas and spiritually, Franklin Lakes!

Sarah celebrates Gallitine's Day the best way she knows how: with a solo OG of the AG monologue and don't you dare say that's like every other ep! She explores the intergenerational trauma evident in the conversation between Joe and Gia, how unspoken rage may factor into Jen's criticism of Marg's past, and responds to Satchels of Gold about Jen Shah's punitive friendship, and the real meaning behind Mary's church service. Please send this to Andy as an audio reel, and maybe he'll monologue on AG next - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 287!

Watch What Happens Five is on hiatus, and AG Classic is readying for its crown! Continuing a record-breaking week of episode drops, Sarah decides to BReal - with a return to form, an episode that yes, includes some Bethenny/Rachel discourse, but also so much more. And who better to join her for a New Beginning than a new guest, Bravoholic, social media manager, and "Twitter gay" (we love a brand ID), Jarett Wieselman. They settle into a AG Zoom kiki and discuss the process of osmosis for Housewives and perception vs. reality brand identity, the trust fall exercise around vulnerability sharing, Sanya and Drew's complicated dynamics with their sisters, Kenya's "Defining Gravity" sea change/reveal, whether to internally compartmentalize or combine OG RHONY with New New York, Shannon's (romantic panic) Family Feud, and what Bethenny is getting wrong about Andy, Sandoval, Graham, VPR, and the reality reckoning equilibrium. Sarah needs a nap, so please tell Chris Manzo to stop by at four - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 446!

Sarah's back from her European adventure, and she arrives back to the office to a deluge of texts. Oh wait, that's just a short novel between Kyle and Dorit from P1 of the BH reunion. So after she unpacks her baggage - emotional and otherwise - Sarah deep dives P1 of the Beverly Hills reunion, from whether or not Kyle's night-before text to Dorit was strategic, Dorit's burst bubble about education in college vs. real life, the difficulty in not seeing other aspects of AnneMarie's personal life, and Kyle's friendship contracts when it comes to battles with Kathy. Sarah spent a day in Amsterdam, so she knows how to pronounce AnneMarie (she just needs to figure out how to say "nurse anesthesiologist" in Dutch) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 515!

The journey continues. Sarah and her Bravoholic pal Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, and creator of pipe dreams.fun) pick up where they left off. They discuss Shannon's decision to cover the costs of her lifestyle with Johnny J for at least the first half of her relationship, rumors that the "videos" include events inside and outside John's house, whether to believe Alexis' on-camera disapproval of John's lawsuit, Jen's legal case with her ex, and dandelion children of divorce. Alexis and John are on cloud nine, and this convo is a ten out of ten - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 587! Part 2!

Just call this kiki the Thomas (Crown) Affair - except instead of crowns, these two are wearing whatever dames receive (respect? Does that come with a tiara?). Needing a fellow royal for a Battle Royale, Dame Galli Zooms up a man with a school and a title - Dame Brian Moylan, President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, New York Times best selling author, and Tre's number one nemesis. They settle into their London/NYC thrones, and throw down on unpacking the 3D chess of living one's life IRL and on reality TV, whether previous story planting influenced the Pump Rules cast's initial disbelief about an affair between Sandoval and Raquel, the discomfort and opportunity of accepting many truths at once about Raquel, and why Brian wants to see Tre's love bubble popped. It's not about the pasta, but this ep is quite a delicious dish - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 407!

Sarah receives the results of her Myers-Briggs personality test, and discovers she's an EIMY (Extremely Into Miami Yes). Thrilled to know that her extroversion toward her fave franchise is tried and true, she Zooms up another fave: news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss the perception of beta Housewives personalities as a potentially negative character trait (and the role of gender in using 'beta' as a pejorative), Karen and Charrisse's divide about supporting a friend in mourning as a potentially transactional exchange, whether or not Jen should have attended the Salt Lake reunion, and how Andy's remarks about Jen's future with Bravo intersect with an audience expectation around accountability. Sarah may not be able to answer whether or not Salt Lake is "worthy" of a visit, but this convo definitely is - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 378!

It's a rainy, stormy Friday. Or as Edgar Allan Poe called it, the perfect time to talk about Tam. Sarah dances in the rain because life, ammiright, when she spots her fave partner in storm chasing, and general sass, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They dry off with humor (Sarah's fave), and settle into the cloff for a two part episode that does anything but. Part 1: Orange County! They discuss Alexis' PR skill set (less skill, more set) around defending 'her' reputation as John's girlfriend, Tamra's calculation around shaming Shan, Emily and Gina's continued growth as Housewives and human people, Gina's spot-on analysis/accountability on what she owes Katie (and Katie's perhaps miscalculated initiation to the group), whether Vicki should be promoted from cameo-plus to friend-of/full time, and more. Who needs one episode, when you can have two - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 572! Part 1!

Sarah sends an early co-pay for therapy, in advance of a NJ non-reunion reunion alternative spiel. It gave so little, and yet there is still more to say. A true miracle, indeed. Another miracle: a double episode with Sarah's Bravoholic pal, New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (Jackie, take note). On part 1? NJ, obvs. Sarah and Michael discuss differing opinions on the toxicity scale for NJ husbands and wives, Dolo's perhaps subdued pushback about Luis' "suffering" diatribe, and Teresa's response, whether Tre has capacity for empathy outside of her immediate world, and how that compares with a sense of protectiveness, and why Michael feels Tre may be the key to NJ's future. It's Opposite Day, which explains Sarah typing that last convo point - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 575! Part 1!

Bethenny dropped a bombshell: and Sarah had some thoughts. After listening to both Bethenny's Reality Wreckoning and Rachel Leviss surprise drops, Sarah mentions it all, in unpacking what's discussed: the similarities and differences between Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel and Rachel/Raquel's choice to BStrong, the ways Ariana needed to be held more accountable in both Bethenny and Rachel's eyes than Sandoval (and the ways gender politics played into both their argument and the result), how Andy factored in to Bethenny's through-line of complicit behavior, and an interest in exposing 'performative friendship' as the exact opposite (at least for people who've watched more than the reunion eps, ahem ahem). This is a crisis, so BStrong - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 443!

Sarah reads Diana's viral-in-all-the-worst-ways "Dear Garcelle" post on IG and immediately goes to her safe space (carbs and Hulu Plus). Feeling a spiritual triage is in order, she Zooms up one of her fave truth tellers and Bravoholics, a 4-time Olympian in mentioning it all, Erica Cobb (co-host, Daily Blast Live, host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' available on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore what's really behind Diana's deep seated anger against Garcelle, Lisa Rinna's inflexibility of thought, and what Dorinda's 'banana bread muffin with a dash of sadism' brunch says about her instinct to punish when she reacts. Someone tell Netflix that "Cobb Conspiracies" needs an immediate series pickup - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 323!

Extra! Extra! (Sarah's being...extra.) Inspired by one of many long form pieces on Scandoval and Bravo, Sarah puts down her VHS cassette tape of the Carol Burnett Show (to see which draperies best inspired some of VPR's previous reunion looks), and Zooms up another Variety extravaganza, Kate Aurthur (Variety's Editor-at-Large). They settle into the People's People's NYC-LA couch, and discuss the process of pre-writing a Housewife's exit before it's been announced, Kate's conversation with Andy about the Scandoval/future of VPR, whether Alex Baskin regrets his varsity-level hype of the Part 3 reveal (and WTF it could actually be!), the tricky baseline around Sandoval's character, and Raquel's level of 'awareness' on and off camera. The Part 3 Pump Rules reunion reveal is this: it has something to do with something, but this convo is everything - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 418!

Oh happy day, oh happy day-yyy! Sarah awakes fresh as a daisy, because her favorite flower is in bloom (she's talking about Shan). Thrilled at the opportunity to see fresh confessional looks and seasonal giggles, with equal parts curiosity and inspo about Pump Rules and RHONJ, she invites one of her Bravoholic BFFs over to the cloff to mention it all (someone who braved an orange NYC to schlep to the cloffice, bless him): Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss what Sandoval's response to a lack of control has revealed about his internal life, the complicated dynamics of which truth is believed between Teresa and Melissa, and why Tamra made her triumphant return to OC with more upset towrd Shan than Heather. When life hands you lemons, listen to this episode nine times - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 422!

Sarah pulls out her back (sympathy pains after watching Ariana and Katie carry VPR). After taking a muscle relaxer (an IG reel of Shannon giggling, obvs), she realizes the best medicine is deep diving all things NJ with the Tre Hugger to her Gorgita Crunch, Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing strategist). They grab spots on the People's People's Couch, and discuss RHONJ's current cast stalemate, the difficulty of talking about RHONJ teams through a purity test, some spiritual similarities between Jen Fessler and Scheana, whether Teresa and Louie's love bubble will ever burst, and Joe's missing family (not Tre). Nonno need to make 4am octopus, this convo is a full dish - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 536!

Sarah watches the OC trailer and immediately books an Uber Pool to the moon (what better location to dance with franchise stars, especially with BravoCon 2024's location confirmed as "your heart"). Deflated a bit by some of the stressors in Franklin Lakes, she takes a Via back to earth, thankful for a *two-hour* double episode with one of her absolute fave Bravoholic voices: writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com). They settle in for a wild and winding agent-of-chaos two-parter ep: an alternate universe in which Alexis doesn't date Shan's ex, the instinctive right choice of casting OC newbie Katie, a possibly surprising choice of who should remain on RHONJ following a likely cast cull, the difficulty of relying on a “by any means necessary” ethos as Bravoholics (and at the polls), the importance of being able to tolerate discomfort, who is truly the impediment to plot on NJ, Jackie's choices with Tre and Jen vs. Marg and Meliss, and ya know, the joy of a TV screen that fills the room and spirit. And, yes, Bethenny v Chanel. Louis may not love this episode, maybe he just needs to take a different kind of walk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 545, Part 2!

Sarah welcomes back Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, whose credits include Spotify, Decider, and wild takes on previous eps) to deep dive all things Summer House. They discuss the important and nuanced study guide also known as the Summer House After Show, Lindsay and Carl's perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in their seemingly Uber-toxic dynamics, what Paige and Craig have learned about dating on-and-off camera, the differences in how Kyle and Amanda view partnership, parenting, and production, reciprocity with "owning" emotional baggage vs. working on individual and joint growth, and having empathy for cast members without infantilizing them (looking at you, Carl).

One small step for man, one giant step back for mankind. Sarah, finally, blessedly, reaches the denouement of RHOC S15 (excepting the likelihood of a PS follow-up ep, because, ya know, Elizabeth). She reacts to an epic binge (11 episodes that lasted an eternity), and discusses how a likability index led to Braunwyn and Kelly's departures (that, and ya know, a DVR), Gina and Emily's high-stakes seasons and growth, Elizabeth's Sonja Morgan-esque focus on her divorce, Shannon and John's not so happily-ever-after, and yes, rumors about Phaedra's possible return to Atlanta Housewives which Sarah finds out mid-ep.

"I've been traveling, I've been to prison." A perfect line delivery by Luann de Lesseps, one Shannon Storms Beador can unfortunately more fully appreciate. Capping off a wild, wild, day with all the highs and lows one can associate with being a Shan stan, Sarah realizes she really needs some light. And ribald humor. And sass. The perfect ingredient to brighten the cloff? Sarah's Bravo bestie, of course - Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle in for a seltzer spritz and discuss perceptions of Shannon's relationship with alcohol, John, and herself, the challenge of recognizing coping mechanisms that have become foundational, and updates from Shan's lawyer, Bravoleb friend (s/o JLL Chumps!). And oh yes, other things too: the definition of a Wifetime Achievement Award (and the connection Vicki now shares with Clint Howard), examining Gina's performance on Housewives through an updated lens, Erin and Sai's upset toward Jessel, and yes a bit of a debate about the definition of a prank. Archie Beador is an empath, and if you're listening to this convo, you might be one too - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 458!

The journey continues: and this time, Sarah and AG guest co-host Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD) are talking Salt Lake City/Franklin Lakes. They unpack Sarah's theory around why Jackie's reveal wasn't leaked before the finale aired (and how that compares with SLC), Teresa and Luis' love, love, love, how to discuss Luis' possible influence on Tre's behavior without removing her own agency/accountability, the difficulty in trying to counter conspiracy theorists with facts, whether Jackie and Teresa's friendship will last, how to discuss a possible cast cull (amid very strategic 'ruhmorz' and nastiness on social), the network's seeming indifference/passive accountability toward a franchise that has become centered around going way too far, and which cast members Dylan would like to keep around. Just a casual convo with eviscerating takes on the single most toxic Bravo franchise and fandom, so this should be received well - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 572! Part 2!

Need a break from Thanksgiving weekend? This throwback episode has just enough chaos to satiate.

Straight from the cloffice archives, and a release inspired by RHOC's reunion finale.

Truly one of the most important podcast episodes of all time. Tell the Pulitzer committee, and Susan Peabody: this is one for the books. Sarah receives a shocking text message from BBDB: did Alexis sneak a Shan joke into her proposal? Sarah drops everything to find out the truth. With thanks to Josh Lyman and Leo McGarry, a historic West Wing moment in time. When life hands you lemons, call San Ysidro Ranch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 585!

Sarah readies for part 2 of the Potomac reunion the best way she knows how: by procrastinating for four days and then singing "I Dreamed A Dream" during each commercial break. She mentions it all, kinda, or at least 57%: what production missed in their edit of the colorism conversation (and several other moments throughout the ep), why Sarah has unconsciously uncoupled from Robyn and Juan's relationship (not exactly an ideal position for a franchise that encourages introspection), the lost footage of Candiace and Dr. Wendy complimenting Gizelle, and Sarah's theory on Gordon's "to be continued." This episode technically aired, and Sarah loves that for them - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 529!

Equal parts inspired and unnerved by part 2 of the RHONJ reunion, Sarah records an emergency 90-min (LOL) deep dive to unpack RHONJ: a lesson in crime and punishment. Or rather, it's not about the crime, but the coverup. Or rather, what are these dark arts in private investigating, and how do we never sign up? Sarah discusses the differences between assumption and evidence pertaining many allegations of foul play and upset amongst the cast, updates to the release of information about the Melissa cheating rumors that now counteract season-long storylines, the difference between "spoofing" and potential harassment, and why empathy for Teresa can still exist for those who lean more on Melissa/Joe's side (or, ya know, not). All that and computer talk, thanks to friend-of Google dot com - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 419!

Sarah wakes up on yet another day without new eps of Salt Lake (the inhumanity!!!!), until she realizes that, thank god, Variety and New York Mag published exclusive interviews with Monica, Heather, production, and Andy too! So she Zooms up the great minds behind these epic deep dives, two of her fave writer girls (spiritually, obvs) - Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and writer Louis Staples. They discuss secrets revealed from Kate and Louis' dramatic deep dives with the cast, a cast conspiracy about Monica from Season 3, the discrepancy around "selective truth" for both Monica and Heather, what morality means in the post-Jen Shah Era, whether production knew about Reality von Tease, the likelihood of whether Monica will be lifted from production purgatory aka "pause," and yes, thoughts on whether RHUGT: Morocco will (and should) air. Just call this episode a lending library, because it must be passed around - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 505!

Sarah locks herself in the cloffice, armed with a Zion producer, boom mic, and list of grievances about former Hinge DMs, as she 'privately monologues' (....) about various third dates for 700 hours, until she realizes she's actually on Instagram Live (hi baby gorgeous!). Undeterred by the Big Lisa Energy, she meets up with the Marks to her Barlow, the Brooks to her Wild Stallion Body Wash Fresh Bear Soap (please tell the Barlow Boys to work on branding after homework), Ryan Houlihan (senior gaming editor, inputmag.com). They discuss Meredith's selective silence around friendship accountability on and off camera, the ways Heather and Whitney's pack mentality and selective morality have be influenced by restrictive religious and cultural environments, and whether confidences between former BFFs should still be kept. Come for AG theatre, and stay for the encore - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 284!

Sarah puts on her best Santa/Hanukkah Harry ensemble (sweats and an Uber Pool to Bergdorf), and gives the gift of an early drop of this episode! She's joined by her Bravoholic pal, writer and artiste behind Milk and Don't Call Me Honey's iconique masterpiece's, Tom Smyth. On part 1: it's all about SLC, Santa baby! They deep dive the twists and turns behind Bronwyn's reveal about 'infidelity' (and her WWHL clarity, with Todd in the audience, natch), Heather's turnaround on that boat meltdown, Lisa and Bronwyn's continued friendship feud, Angie K.'s Olympic journey (she's Greek, after all!), and Broadway baby Britani's continued search for a sustained spotlight. Part 2 continues to Bev Hills, we are truly blessed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 624! Part 1!

Come one, come all! Inspired and energized by Southern Charm's wild season, Sarah invites AG guest co-host Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined") to mention it all. They deep dive the true definition of "hooking up," the ways Craig and Paige have become The Voice of the People, the toxic underbelly of Shep's plea/decree that the dinner party from fowl hell is "a place of joy," Austen's continued charm (sorry, height) and the power dynamics at play that likely impacted his kiss with Taylor, and Olivia's newfound voice. Consider this an epic lesson in boy math, which only Craig knows how to solve.

Easy like a Sunday morning (recorded on Saturday night). After watching Schwartz and Sandy implode on and off VPR (including with...Howie Mandel?), Sarah realizes there's only one duo to make sense of the senseless. So she dusts off the People's People's Couch to make room for the Kim to her Kyle, the Gabriella to her Milania, the Scheana Shay to her Scheana Marie: Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the podcast "You Might Know Her From, and OG of the AG). They discuss the importance of platonic love (and why the betrayal of a friend might cut deeper for some women), Ariana's second act (and the ways Sandoval is crediting himself with her success), and whether reinforcing the 4th wall helped deepen Teresa and Joe's family fracture. Katie doesn't need tequila to straight up drag Schwartz, and this convo is just as smooth - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 402!

It's off to Franklin Lakes! Sarah and AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb") discuss the not-special special episode of NJ that technically aired: the network's decision to wrap the season, and possibly much of its cast, not with a roar or a whimper but a dull 44 minutes of TV, Teresa's strong hold on Marg as enemy number one (and two, and three), what actually happened between Jackie and Melissa (no really, what happened), the ways Dolores' defense of Marg's child came into conflict with Teresa's delayed appreciation of empathy, and whether any of these people actually want to be friends (including, ya know, the audience). The Garden State left viewers in the weeds, just make sure poison ivy isn't nearby - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 574! Part 2!

Sarah watches the first part of the RHOP reunion, and immediately books a flight to Surrey County to thank Karen's ancestors for bringing her to life. After realizing the lack of Internet may inhibit access to RHOP online takes (yes!) but also her ability to see Karen's hair and dress (emergency!), she Uber Pools back to the cloff to deep dive the ep. It's a wide ranging convo: Gizelle and Candiace's centimeter-sized baby step into apologies, Mia's wise assessment of Candiace and Robyn's impasse (accountability vs. transparency), the missing part of the equation around cast safety on social and beyond, and "to be continued" questions about Mia, Gordon, Ink, and Jeremiah. Karen's tagline is about a fence, and don't picket this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 527!

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Rafi D'Angelo (creator and writer behind overpricedvodka.com) deep dive all things OC: revisiting "naked wasted," and how it might be received by 'current era' Bravo fans, Terry's history on "The Swan," Rafi's evolution on Shan, why Katie's version of events about Gina feels inherently flawed, Sarah's Shannon complex (including about the future of the pod), ongoing questions about Emily and Heather's relationship, and more. Gina and Nene are Housewife contemporaries - file that under things that absolutely make sense - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 589! Part 2!

Welcome to the AG C-SPAN spectacular, because Rinna is losing her mind online (as opposed to any other day of the week). Sarah spots a widely inappropriate IG story that Rinna posted about Kyle and Paris, and immediately Zooms up her spiritual gummy, and a guide through the madness, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They unpack Rinna's manipulation of Paris' trauma in order to shame Kathy (apparently other children are not off-limits, unlike Rinna's own), Kyle's problematic description of "clean" microaggressions in her conversation with Crystal, and the ways Candiace's powerful fourth wall breaking on Potomac is miles above the storytelling on Bev Hills. The word "evil" is used, let's wait for the Fox Force to stop screaming in shock - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 354!

This is a doozy. Sarah is joined by Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to unpack the unfortunate series premiere of "The Idol," on Max (there is no HBO to be found amidst this chaos). They discuss the history of the show's troubled production, the ways Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weekend" Tesfaye rejected the show's original premise - and director - as too driven by a woman's perspective, and the difference in execution between "The Idol's" overhauled storyline and Levinson's hit series "Euphoria."

Sarah starts packing for her big trip to Europe (goal: to follow Dorit's Peter Pan musical caravan as a groupie with a dream), when she realizes she can't take Sutton's PJ when there's still so much Housewives to unpack. So she invites one of her Bravoholic pals over to the cloffice for an epic two-part deep dive chat: Housewives writer and culture commentator, Louis Peitzman. Over the course of a rollicking two part spectacular, they discuss why the timeline over Kyle and Mauricio's separation is key to understanding a fuller picture of their on-and surely off-camera behavior, Mo's bewildering absence from the reunion (and his marriage), whether Annemarie is truly 'one and done,' the current stalemate over RHUGT: Morocco (and concern over how the Bravo community have been punitive in their upset over its uncertain future), rumors about OG (spiritual and otherwise) returns to Atlanta, Kiki's current storyline on Miami and the great potential ahead, and the ways that the Miami franchise is grounded in mutual affection, and yes, hot takes on Married to Medicine, including whether Quad and Mariah could - and should - return. It's a Friendsgiving style double header with dozens of sides to share - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 509!

Desperado for a Bethenny news blackout after last week, Sarah attends a 24-hour silent retreat, where she almost achieves Zen until her spidey senses tingle and she realizes that yes, Bethenny Ann is now unloading on commentors on IG and releasing yet another Scandoval ep. So she finds TLC by breaking it down with one of her besties, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of Mention it All, and creator of Bravo By Betches). They settle into the cloff to discuss Bethenny's disconcerting narrative with one person's truth vs fact, Jessel's focus on opportunity for her kids' education (access to fancypants adults), why Erin's sister was attempting to produce the rest of the cast (a spectacular failure, god bless), Brynn's reality TV birthright (the woman was meant to be on RHONY), and what on earth is going to happen to RHUGT 4 (amid a Bravocon clue). Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and this convo is a sparkler - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 447!

The Summer House deep dive needed a friend. Sarah welcomes back Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, whose credits include Spotify, Decider, and wild takes on previous eps) to discuss all things Vanderpump Rules. They discuss Lea's surprising connection to the VPR universe, production's decision to focus much of the season around Tom Sandoval's apology tour (while not devoting the same time on Ariana's post-breakup journey), the building tension on-and-off camera between Lala and Scheana vs. Katie and Ariana, Schwartz' nickname for Jo (and whether that plays into his distance about their physical relationship), and why The Valley has no more room at its inn.

Sarah does some winter cleaning in the cloffice (gotta get those skeletons out of the closet, and pitch a show to Peacock), and realizes cleanliness is next to godliness, and there's nothing holier than hearing about an extremely VIP creator meet-up with a Bev Hill OG. So she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal (and fellow Shan Stan) who just attended an intimate hotel kiki with Kyle Richards, content creator Julian Hagins. They discuss Julian's experience watching the most recent (very Kyle-heavy) episode of BH next to Kyle herself, the comments she had about Sutton and Garcelle as she reacted to what came out onscreen (and the moment Sarah is shaken that was missed), the complicated and nuanced journey of finding a new safe space (and the difficulty of rejecting relationships of obligation with family when obligated to 'befriend' a filmed circle of friends), similarities in Robyn's difficulty finding a place to be vulnerable when Juan (and Mauricio) are not avail, what the future of Potomac might look like without a few OGs, and the difficulty of a season focused on what was seen on TV and not living in real life. Lisa Rinna was mentioned twice in this convo, once more and she magically appears - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 489!

Feelin Jovani and also Pat Kiernan, Sarah goes to read the daily papers, and realizes that there are only so many times she can start a trial subscription for Sutton Stracke Presents the LA Times. Inspired by some fantastic long form pieces on Erika Jayne written by today's guests (Andy agrees!), Sarah Zooms up noted Housewives historians Kevin Fallon (senior entertainment reporter, The Daily Beast) and Louis Peitzman (Vulture, among others) for a wide ranging and very deep dive convo of all things Erika Jayne. They discuss what Andy's surprising reaction to Erika Jayne critique says about managing Erika and the audience on-and-off camera, the differences between how Erika and Candiace's outbursts are critiqued by their respective casts, and the troubling pattern of rewarding bad behavior with regard to Housewives and alleged crime. This panel deserves a Pulitzer, so please let Suzanne in HR know to add it to the list - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 264!

Sarah takes an Uber Pool to support Adriana's pride concert (whomever was running the sound mix for that lip-syncing is undoubtably an ally), where she drops off a sign for Julia with a correctly spelled name. After anointing herself a spelling b (don't finish sounding out that word), Sarah invites over one of her fave people to the cloff, who puts the B in SBBD, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the ongoing dynamics on Bev Hills about a cast "friend circle" allegiance to each other vs. production responsibility and comms, the difference between empathy and responsibility between Erika and the cast (spoiler alert: compassion is a hard thing to feel bad about), Lisa's Big Brat Era and her insistence around being the victim of her own poor behavior, and why Kiki deserves to be full-time. Miami faced an island of misfit toys, which is also the name of Lisa's perfume pricing dept. - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 506!

Shana Tova, Friends of Jill! Sarah celebrates the Jewish New Year by dipping RHONY apples into honey (talk about sweet New Beginnings). She realizes the best resolution to have is to be real - and who better to AG Kiki with than Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of the pod Virtual Realitea). They discuss the similarities in storyline and character critiques on The Hills and Vanderpump Rules, the astrology and psychology behind Lindsay and Carl's breakup, Tamra and Jen's continued war of words about Ryan, possible toxic power dynamics between Shannon and John, the refreshing change in friendship dynamics on Salt Lake, beginning with Lisa and Meredith, and Monica's fresh-air introduction to the franchise (while being connected to Jen). When life gives you lemons, try not to date them - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 456!

Sarah awakens from a horrifying, melatonin induced nightmare, where she dreamt that Jen Shah wasn't fired by Bravo after literally bankrupting grandmas and grandpas all over the land. She realizes the best salve is AG therapy with a dream guest: Ryan Houlihan (journalist, drag performer, and Bravoholic). They discuss the-now cancelled Frost/Nixon/Shah/Cohen, a Jentervention for Heather and Meredith (and the ways nuance seems less important at times than prioritizing accountability with a smidge of rage), and the ways Miami is currently carrying the light (bouncing off of Larsa's feet). Barbra Streisand directed "The Mirror Has Two Faces," based on Dr. Nicole's couriered non-invitation - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 379!

Sarah wakes up on surgery day with a pit in her stomach. No, not what doctors will be removing on this holy day. She hasn't had her fave travel guide Bravoholic on the pod in a minute - and not a moment too soon. So she books a trip to Wisconsin (not because her guest lives there, she wants to build a monument to Britani’s toast), and Zooms up her pal, Richie Skye (pop culture expert and travel enthusiast). After discussing Richie's love of self care through globe trotting, they unpack Bronwyn's possible Little Monsters identity, the characteristics Britani shares with OG RHONY castmates, Heather's continued work as chess master, the tension between Lisa Barlow, Angie, Whitney, and Bronwyn, and of course, Karen Huger. Just call today a hilling journey, beginning with this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 599.5!

Sarah watches the RHONY finale and immediately is filled with so much anger she becomes the secret ingredient in the next round of Ubah Hot. Bewildered, frustrated, and filled with yes, just a wee bit of rage, she takes to the cloffice for a 193-hour deep dive. Part 1: a profound misinterpretation of what qualities as entertainment, Bravo's wildly irresponsible lack of care for its audience, Sarah's feeling of why Brynn should not return to the franchise, the ways empathy should not become a permission slip to avoid accountability, and why the audience reaction should - but probably won't - be a network wake-up call. Part 2? A moment by moment episode deep dive, and Brynn's post-finale interview with Rolling Stone. The RHONY reboot was supposed to return the franchise to a non-toxic form, and spoiler alert, it ended in Chernobyl - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 634! Part 1!

TW: this episode includes discussion about rape/sexual assault, trauma, mental health, and brief mentions of domestic violence and suicide.

In full preparation for AG 300 (tix link below, cough cough), Sarah tries to book a ticket to Warrior beach, until she's told her rage about Danielle Staub's behavior S2-beyond isn't enough of a reason to attend. Undeterred, she finds an even better safe space in which to express her thoughts and feels - Zooming up her fave SLC scholar, Lauren Ashley Smith (Emmy--nominated TV writer and producer, and a co-host on Smith Sisters Live on Sirius XM Radio Andy). They discuss what Katie and Tom's divorce announcement reveals about a reality tv social contract, Teresa's possibly conflicting primal desires as a wife (soon to be!) and mom, and why Lisa's processing skill makes her the Olivia Pope of Salt Lake City. Viva la Vida, take a shot of Lisa's tequila every time Sarah mentions live show tix - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 297!

Join Sarah and Evan Ross Katz as they celebrate AG 300, live in NYC, on Saturday, March 26th! Doors open at 8pm, show at 9pm. BUY TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/andys-girls-live-tickets-288218478227

It's Bravocon weekend (!!), so Sarah preps for the journey to the motherland the best way she knows how: by Zooming up an expert in the fine art of Bravoholic Expressionism, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, nonprofit director, and former cast member on "The People's Couch"). Hot off the Beverly Hills reunion, they discuss remaining questions around what actually happened between Sutton and Crystal, the disconnection in a cast framework of crediting Dorit for courageously protecting her children during a violent act and judging/'correcting' Garcelle and Jax's responses to death threats he received, and why Kyle should consider retiring from her volunteer position as Diana's intention translator. Sarah may have gotten spiritual hives from BH, but luckily Potomac and Salt Lake are the perfect antidote (as might this deep dive) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 352!

Sarah takes an Uber Pool (RIP?) to New Jersey, determined to leave Chris Manzo a single rose outside the Brownstone. En route she picks up devout Jersey observer - just replace "Patti Issues" with Tre, and you've got yourself a monologue - Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and director of Countess and Friends). They head to Caface for some blowouts and brass(y roots), and discuss the difference between perception and reality during Ben's collaborations with Luann, Bethenny, and Teresa, the ways Tre vs. Marg is analog vs. digital, and why the previous season hair pull may be the foundation of their war. Dolores loved this episode, because she's a big fan of both charity and jokes about balls - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 301!

Sarah wakes up post-Hanukkah and Christmas, takes down the cloffice tinsel and menorah, and realizes her greatest holiday wish is about to be met - a deep dive of Miami and Salt Lake with her fave Bravo investigative journalist, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the pod Pot Psychology, and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss the difference between Lisa's fantasy of her marriage vs. Lenny's fantasy for himself, Miami's refreshing openness around plastic surgery, and LOL what the absolute hell is going on with Heather's eye (it's not just the crime, it's the coverup). If you were a bit bad this year, Santa either left you coal or a friendship bracelet from Jen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 372!

Sarah realizes this ep should take inspo from an iconic moment from Potomac, so she immediately calls Eric to the cloff so they can break the fourth wall. Unfortunately, he doesn't answer (and honestly the cloffice walls are kinda hard to break), so she makes an even better call - Zooming up the President of the Real Housewives Institute, and Sarah's religious deity in the world of Bravo writing, Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, and author of the New York Times bestseller, "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind The Real Housewives"). They discuss the differences between friendship value systems on Potomac vs Beverly Hills, Candiace's Meghan King Edmonds energy, and the differences in how the network responded to Teresa's guilty plea vs Bravo's potential plans for Jen Shah (let alone the reactions from their respective casts). Lays Potato Chip people, if you're listening, AG loves a salty crunch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 355!

Auntie Sarah has pneumonia, and realizes the best prescription (aside from hexagonal ice, obvs) is this prestige two part AG with Kristen Taekman from the cloffice archives! Original show notes from "Shmorit: Part 1" are below!

Sarah hangs a banner outside the cloffice: come, all ye Housewives, to deep dive. Immediately, the Bravoleb bat call is answered, by "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman (a true double threat: Bravoholic and Bravoleb!). In this two-parter, they discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date reunion with Jill, Jenna Lyons' return to the NY reboot, which Bravolebs were less than friendly at BravoCon, her friendship status with Brandi Glanville, and of course, thoughts on the RHONJ stalemate and RHOC resurgence. Consider this a pop of color in podcast form - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 565 - part 1!

Tom Sandoval broke the Internet (or at least the Bravoverse and select New York Times Magazine subscribers, natch). After reading the epic and honestly unbelievable impeccable take down of Tom "I am also mid twenties plus" Sandoval in the Grey Lady, Sarah realizes the best way to unpack what on earth she just read is one of her fave content creators and hosts, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique (host, Reality Checked on Radio Andy, Pop Crime on Betches Media, and Bagel Friday queen). They discuss the impact and intent behind Sandoval's wild connection of his internet fame with OJ Simpson and George Floyd, Bravo's PR silence in real time vs. their triage-level troubleshooting as the interview process veered left, right, up and down (anything but centered, tbh), the ultimate reveal of how Tom views himself, and his difficulty in living a life outside of reality TV, and more. Sarah has a full Reading Rainbow narration of the article up on Patreon, and she's patiently waiting for a Nobel - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 510!

Sarah sneaks out of Mary's closet after a day of charity work (introducing herself to Mary as "Charity," and asking for 6 Chanels), and hops on a Zoom with her fave duo breaths of fresh air, and noted Housewives empaths, Brendan Davis and Dan Calabrese (hosts of the pod "Come Thru Queen"). They discuss what a future RHONJ without Tre could look like (and if her protests about filming Louie plot are planting a future Tre-less seed), the complicated narrative of assuming Mary's intentions in absentia, and the possibility of a future Housewife/Housedaughter sharing full-time roles on a show. The forecast says Bad Weather is on the horizon, so to all Barhoes, please disregard the storm - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 292!

Sarah receives a text message from Ralph, letting her know he doesn't appreciate what she's been saying about - oh wait, he got a digit wrong from her cell. Off to copy/paste for Marlo! Relieved to avoid any long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage, Sarah does some vocal warm-ups to get ready to: long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage. And who better to deep dive the ins and outs of all things Housewifery than Kara Berry (not Katy Perry!), host of the podcast "Everyone's Business But Mine." Sarah and Kara (say that five times fast) discuss the toxic cycle when a Housewife tries to convince her cast (and audience) that her partner isn't the devil incarnate (BCC, Lenny and Lisa, Jen and Ryan, and, you guessed it, Drew and Ralph). They also unpack a cast repositioning of Jenna's vulnerability as a sign of elitism, whether Jessel was looking at the 'sexiness' of her gifted lingerie through the male gaze (and why Uba's understanding was so key), the origin story of Sai's chameleon-esque ability which was based out of survival, and a conversation on how women dress through the lens of gender, identity, and sexuality (inspired by Jenna's comments). Whether you wear a skirt, pants, or none of the above, this convo is freshly pressed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 437!

Inspired by Angie K's Greek Easter invite, Sarah asks a SLC production assistant to put on a bunny costume from Party City circa 1974 and invite her Bravo bestie to record an ep. Unfortunately the bunny does not have keys to his apt, but thankfully the door to the cloffice is open to all, especially Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss which Housewives franchise panel they plan to skip at BravoCon, the conflict between Monica's "inner child" and triggering behavior from her mom, similarities between Linda and Mama Joyce, how the 4th wall is impacting Angie K.'s upset toward Monica, and tension between Heather and Lisa's experiences and identities as Mormons. Mary's son said "I do," and this convo is worthy of vows - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 469!

Sarah interprets Tamra's steely eyed gaze as some sort of Morse Code to invite a new guest to the People's People's Couch - and there's no need for a video village intervention on this one. So Sarah welcomes a new guest over for an AG kiki, Hannah Wright (co-host of the podcast "You Could Do That on Television," and WGA writer currently on strike whose credits include "Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News"). They settle into the cloff (a place with no other settling), and discuss Bethenny Frankel's Swiftie energy, the long game Tamra is currently playing against Heather, the great debate over Housewife home hospitality (welcome, Erin!), and what "likability" means in the context of discussing Housewives - and women. The convo feels Wright, unlike maybe Shan and John - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 436!

Sarah feels an extra jolt of energy after another season upon us (stfu spring/summer, she means RHOBH!). In celebration, Sarah buys a child's admission ticket (Ageless by Ramona, ammiright) to the Real Housewives Institute, in order to mention it all with its founder and president (and New York Times bestselling author) Brian Moylan. Just a couple of dames, disagreeing about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Housewives has made viewers better media consumers and critical thinkers, the difference between changing one's character and revealing it, and questions around questioning Dorit's response to trauma. It may be expensive to be Erika J, but this convo is priceless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 310!

The cloffice is hilling, one cackle at a time. After a triumphant week in television and also New New York, Sarah realizes it's past time for her fave prescription: Vitamin SBBD. So she opens the Beador to her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They settle in for a short and sweet 18 hour two-part episode. On part 1: the differing ways each current franchise utilizes stakes, New New York’s highs (Sai’s vulnerability mourning her mom with family) and lows (mostly everything else about the entire show at this very moment), Lisa Barlow’s parenting style and personality, Bronywn and Heather’s battle royale, and of course, sweet Brittani. Part 2 continues the sass thanks to Orange County and Potomac - right after Andy’s Girls, Episode 606! Part 1!

Auntie Sarah has pneumonia, and realizes the best prescription (aside from hexagonal ice, obvs) is this prestige two part AG with Kristen Taekman from the cloffice archives! Original show notes from "Shmorit: Part 2" are below!

"Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman makes her triumphant return to the pod. In this two-parter, Sarah and Kristen discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date reunion with Jill, Jenna Lyons' return to the NY reboot, which Bravolebs were less than friendly at BravoCon, her friendship status with Brandi Glanville, and of course, thoughts on the RHONJ stalemate and RHOC resurgence. Consider this a pop of color in podcast form - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 565 - part 2!

My cardsssssah! After watching part one of the already-historic Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sarah realizes the only way to process the 15 different dimensions of what was expressed is a (roughly)15-hour episode. With someone who is, truly, good as gold: Tracie Morrissey (writer, podcaster on "Pot Psychology" and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss Sandoval's strategic invalidation of his friendship with James and Scheana, a re-analysis of Katie and Schwartz' relationship and pre-Scandoval critiques, Ariana's shocking reveal about Sandoval's manipulative use of her mental health to offset critique, the Toms' consistent upset when women push back, and Raquel's motivations on and off camera. It's not the NJ convo was kept to the end per se, cloffice production said it needed to be 100 yards away - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 415!

TW: this episode includes references to suicide, suicidal ideation, and self harm, while discussing the reunion and some of Tom's allegations.

After Sarah spends Shabbat at her favorite Upper East Side temple - Bergdorf Goodman, amen - and realizes that after a week of solid Housewives content, she is truly hashtag blessed. She heads to the cloffice for a prayer circle focused on grace, accountability, and zest, thanks to one of her fave Bravoholic pals, Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpriced vodka.com). They record a brief 2.5 hour mini episode unpacking all things Bravo, Babel, and more. On part 1: how Rafi's experience in a cult informed his perspective on Mary and Salt Lake, the virtues and challenges of thinking of Housewives with grace, different opinions on Bronwyn's performance at the reunion (and, of course, that necklace saga), and the connective thread of community, trauma, and grief. Head over to part 2, because this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 637! Part 1!

Happy Black History Month! Please support Rafi's selected charity, Black Mamas Matter Alliance.

Inspired by Shan's latest foray into theatrical performance, Cirque du Surprise, if you will, Sarah scrambles to find that iconic 70s costume Shan once wore "streaking." Despondent after realizing the cloffice does not, in fact, operate as a Spirit Halloween, she puts on a different role - deep diving all things RHOC with one of her Bravoholic besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss what loyalty and trust looks like when filming reality TV, Emily's work to provide an environment of emotional security and stability to her children after a difficult childhood, the characteristics Shannon and Dorinda share (ahem), and another installment of AG Theatre, unpacking the different forms of role play between Heather and Taylor.

Inspired by Big BravoCon Energy - and a VERY exciting announcement at the end of this ep! - Sarah heads over to the Regency for an AG kiki with her Bravoholic BFF. She watches the day's View en route, and decides if emergency Zoom is good enough for Joy and the VP, it's good enough for the OGs of the AG! Separated by neighborhoods and some opinions on BH, Sarah is joined by Damian Bellino (comedian, co-host of the podcast You Might Know Her From), for a double ep's worth of convo about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Erika deigns to discuss family matters when in service to an empathetic narrative arc, the impact of groupthink with the Fox Force Yada plus Crystal vs Sutton and Garcelle, and the "unsavory" idea of choosing friendship with a falsehood. Sarah and Damian are going live in October, someone save a row for the Dame's cackle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 252!

Sarah takes in a night of theatre (watching old eps of Salt Lake when Jen Shah proclaimed her innocence), followed by a performance that has stayed with her ever since, featuring today's guest co-host. After watching and bawling during "The White Chip," she invites its star, actor Joe Tapper, over to the cloffice, for a hilling journey. They discuss how Joe's journey with sobriety influenced his decision to take on a play about alcohol addition, a fluency and connection between Housewives fans which can often bridge a gap around how to broach otherwise delicate convos, the ways Housewives/Vanderpump Rules/Summer House portray the complicated narrative around addiction and recovery, the complicated comms on Beverly Hills around Kyle's decision to stop drinking (and her own dynamics around Kim's alcoholism), Carl and Lala's journeys with sobriety, and more. Joe's technically been on AG before after a delightful prior cameo with his wife, and Sarah's college pal, Annaleigh Ashford, and thank goodness for a return role - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 513!

Sarah takes note of the raging temps outside (as hot as her love for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal) and realizes what she really needs in her life, in addition to SPF 900, is a cool-as-a-cucumber convo on the past, present, and future of Bravo TV/Housewives. And who better to discuss the impact of OG RHONY than New York Bravoholic Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for a seltzer spritz, and discuss the challenges ahead for NJ's current cast, Jackie's new pod announcement (...lol?), Southern Charm's confusing decision to cut Olivia (upholding the cast patriarchy, not quite as big a shock), the difference between OG RHONY and current Housewives (external world vs. interior world), the ways storytelling used to be shaped by 'society,' which has been replaced on NY by influence/content creation, and Orange County's Crucible vibe. Katie may need to let the mouse go, aka that paparazzi text, and pick up this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 576!

Someone needs to tell Vera Wang that sleeveless is preferred. (Alexis Couture throwback, y'all!!) It's true: Alexis Bellino and John Janssen made it to month nine, and apparently the anniversary gift for 9 months is a rock. Not Gibraltar, or not just that. But a stone. Stone Philliips would've been preferred. Stone soup, even. But instead the world was gifted - nay, presented - with this definitely joyful happily-ever-after, shared by John's closest friends and family also known as People dot com. Sarah deep dives her thoughts and feels, how this will impact the upcoming reunion, John's record as a perfect partner focused on bliss, the heavy lifting that somehow seems to fall on his beloveds' shoulders, a misperception of the role and opportunity for Housewives' loves, and just a wee bit of Shan. If Jesus Jugs and Johnny J register for nine lemons and a bowl, the cloffice will riot - it's an Andy's Girls emergency, Episode 583!

Sarah searches her heart and spirit and tum, and realizes that even though she just had an endoscopy/colonscopy at Lenox Hill, there's still some more she needs to uncover from within - aka, a couple more thoughts on Summer House. So she calls up NYC Public Pools HQ, and asks for her fave lifesaver, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They tape a Baywatch-themed poster of Pedro Pascal on the cloffice wall, and discuss Danielle's just-announced exit from Summer House (it's was "her choice," "her decision," "her call,"), Andy's recent explanations to viewer critique of the reunion, West, a true NYC fella, and of course, Lindsay v. Carl. This summer is bringing the heat, and not just because of this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 553! Part 2 out tomorrow!

After re-watching the Orange County finale, Salt Lake, and yes that Erin v Ubah ep of RHONY, Sarah realizes she simply cannot go on without putting on a Housewives remix. Tardy for the Party, Chic C'est La Vie, Fly Above, all the greats are included. And what better theme for AG Classic than inviting this return guest back for another zesty Zoom kiki than Kiki herself, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique. They settle into the spiritual cloff (East Coast/West Coast are fully represented), and discuss a status check on new New York and Erin and Ubah, Taylor's future career in mukbang, whether Gina and Emily's animus for Heather is consistent on camera versus off, Shannon's creative math business strategy for the Sitalonic, who wins the Worst Boyfriend award between John Janssen and Ryan, and Monica's similarities to OG Brandi Glanville. Were you silent or were you silenced (and was that before or after trying Shan’s colonic) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 464!

Turns out, Tom Sandoval might be the #1 guy in this group - in all the worst ways. After the Bravo world blows up following the shocking news that VPR star Tom Sandoval has been cheating on his longtime partner Ariana Madix with costar Raquel Viess, Sarah records a special ep to discuss a timeline of what has occurred through now, Easter eggs Tom and Raquel left in the current season (and on WWHL), WTF did Schwartz know and when, and why everyone is losing their minds about lightning bolt necklaces. I'm not sure what Sandoval's cratered Q rating is going to do, but I'll take a Pinot Grigio - it's an Andy's Girls emergency episode!

Sarah hangs a banner outside the cloffice: come, all ye Housewives, to deep dive. Immediately, the Bravoleb bat call is answered, by "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman (a true double threat: Bravoholic and Bravoleb!). In this two-parter, they discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date reunion with Jill, Jenna Lyons' return to the NY reboot, which Bravolebs were less than friendly at BravoCon, her friendship status with Brandi Glanville, and of course, thoughts on the RHONJ stalemate and RHOC resurgence.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Sarah rejoices in the prestige trailer drop of Salt Lake's upcoming season - one for the ages, blessed be the engaging - and celebrates with a hot cocoa in the icicle-cold cloff (it's still so hot in NYC, 'kinda like that NYC trailer, etc'). Sarah realizes her second round needs to be piping hot tea, so she invites over a Bravoholic pal ready to spill, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the questions (and screams) from the SLC drop, how the women on Salt Lake use "the vault," the evolution/estrangements between Meredith and Lisa, Meredith and Mary, Heather and Whitney, and that unnamed 'arch nemesis,' questions about Rebecca Minkoff and whether the show will focus/address her....community sitch, Tamra's continued vendetta against Shan, John's time on iMovie themed around his obsession (punishing Shan), whether Emily has become more of a mean girl since becoming friends with Shan, and the curious pigeon edit in NY. Snowflakes are on the horizon, oranges are providing the freshest juice, and NY is up and coming - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 579!

Sarah prepares for the upcoming live show for AG's 300th ep the best way she knows how, by watching Chef Shannon jump into her pool fully clothed on a loop, and Zooming up one of her fave live performers, and the host of "So Good It's Bad with Ryan Bailey," Ryan Bailey! They discuss this season of Salt Lake's David Lynch energy, the ways that Bad Weather is getting the reunion temperature wrong, Louie's possibly-toxic positivity as a mask for controlling rage, and why Jen finally released the burden of shame she had been carrying for a decade-plus. Joey Gorga may be a comedy star, but look out world, it's twice the cackle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 295!

Join Sarah and Evan Ross Katz as they celebrate AG 300, live in NYC, on Saturday, March 26th! Doors open at 8pm, show at 9pm. BUY TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/andys-girls-live-tickets-288218478227

Sarah arrives to Chateau Dubrow with a map provided by Noella and a warrant for receipts tucked into a bouquet provided by Sweet James, as she looks for secret footage from Heather's party that a producer may have left in the gifting room. She immediately gets lost in the entryway (who has a foyer connected to a foyer melded with 15 different shades of grey?), but thankfully finds her footing with an epic deep dive alongside content creator and spiritual advisor @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They discuss the differences between friendship and alliance on Orange County and Salt Lake, the ways that the performative illusion of wealth colors storylines, the impact of trauma on Mary's emotional growth, and reports (since confirmed) that she skipped the reunion. Turns out Adrienne Maloof really does do magic, because her historic absence from a reunion has inspired other Housewives to disappear - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 277!

This isn't even my effing plate! Oh wait, yeah it is, and it's filled with (vegan paleo) pumpkin pie and this delicious special ep! Sarah celebrates Thanksgiving the best way she knows how: by Zooming up three of her fave Bravoholic besties: Katie Mac Burdick (Bravo Betch), Dylan Hafer (Bravo by Betches), and B. Graeter (Petshopboy). They settle into the People's People Couch and unpack their reasons for saying thanks (and holiday wishes - not so fast, RHOC), Mia's chaotic attempt to pull focus (and what Robyn and Gizelle got wrong), and Salt Lake's identity crisis. Pick up nine lemons in a bowl, and make it a holiday spritz - it's an Andy's Girls Thanksgiving, Episode 363!

Sarah watches the Super Bowl and realizes the provenance of this American pastime: a gladiatorial reckoning also known as the last two seasons of Salt Lake. Inspired by the birds (from Philly, and those terrorizing Karen Huger from afar), she Zooms up another Philly fan, and an athlete in the sport of Housewives deep diving, Kiki Monique (host of "Reality Checked" on Radio Andy). They hop into the end zone, and discuss the inevitability of projecting accountability onto Housewives whose actions might not deserve that response, the challenge of filming a Housewives universe around a friend circle that didn't exist until folks were cast, why Kiki would like Mauricio to stay off (Bravo) screen, rebuilding journeys on Potomac and Atlanta, and whether Mia and Karen can (and should) remain in the cast. PK said this podcast is worthy of an 11-page email, so kadooze to everyone - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 640!

Sarah watches the new episode of Potomac and wonders if those evil geniuses over at AI HQ can create a Karen Huger only edit for Peacock. Thinking about the Pickleball Queen (whose triple 20s is very reminiscent of a "spiritual mid-twenties-plus mentality, natch), she zooms up another absolute delight, Bravoholic and New York Times bestselling author, Michael Arceneaux ("I Can't Date Jesus," "I Don't Want to Die Poor," and the upcoming "I Finally Bought Some Jordans"). They discuss the difference between respecting your villains and co-signing their behavior (ahem, Monica), how to view the cast reactions to Monica's trolling vs. Jen's indictments/guilty plea, the breakup of the Tres Amigas (and how Shannon and Tamra's fallout will impact her journey once filming begins), Ashley's refusal to see Candiace's hurt underneath her upset, Sonja's punchline on UGT and IRL, and Dorit's, ahem, theatrical tour. Sarah finally needs to buy some Jordans, so please join the Patreon while she googles "laces, pink" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 497!

Sarah is dismayed to realize that no matter how hard she hopes, it is *still* not yet BravoCon weekend (doesn't time understand how badly she wants to turtle?). So she Zooms up one of her fave parts of the 2019 BravoCon extravaganza, a man who could give a master class in how to discuss delicate matters about Housewifery panels with expert skill, Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com and co-host of Page 6's new pod "Virtual Reali-Tea). After receiving confirmation that, yes, Evan's name did inspire Simon van Kempen's iconic musical hit (not really, but..spiritually), they explore the endearing quality of OG thirst, why Heather should be concerned with Tamra's media "amuse bouche," the ways that Kyle's inability to identify Erika's concerning behavior may be connected to her dynamics with Kim, and what's behind a lack of sensitivity about Crystal's eating disorder. Sarah's trigger is Bravo's use of "to be continued," so ya know, listen to this ep in full or murmur that to yourself when you press pause - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 330! Sarah said 340, so she's almost there!

Sarah stands outside of Tiffany & Co. wearing wildly spirited blunt bags that appear in every direction (much like a Salt Lake City cast lunch). Inspired by Mary's Audrey Hepburn themed event, she adds a few strands of pearls and strands a few words together about another iconic ep in Salt Lake: Bronwyn and Heather's back-and-forth about friendship loyalty and forgiveness (lol), the difference between how BH and SLC view manipulation vs. manipulation, Angie K's vulnerable and honest conversation with her dad about childhood abandonment and how she views her mother's challenges through a new lens, Bronywn seeming - and understandable - unease about Todd's criticism of her 'unladylike tone,' and Mary and Meredith's new tiff. Britani wants us to remember her, and this convo definitely does - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 615!

Sarah draws a Venn diagram of good TV, Bravo viewers, and everything but RHONJ, and sighs with delight. It's been a journey, these last few months on Bravo. And Sarah can see the light. It's so sunny, in fact, that after applying SPF 9 bajillion, she invites over another ray of sunshine, Housewives writer and culture commentator Louis Peitzman, for a brief mini 2.5hr episode. On part 1, they discuss Sarah's status update on Dubai (and Louis' mixed feelings about the season), and of course the continued triumph that is Orange County: Katie's fascinating decision to take on Heather Dubrow (and what defines a proper 'receipt' vs. screenshot), how Tamra may be feeling about the audience reaction to her behavior this season, choosing to side with Alexis/John Janssen as a form of punishment/revenge, Teddi Jo Carrot, and more. It's not about the destination but the ride, and this one lasts a couple min - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 569! Part 1!

Sarah reads the news that fellow Dame Karen Huger entered treatment, missed the Potomac reunion, and is being sentenced in weeks, and thinks to herself, oy vey. Thankfully, she has a Bravoholic pal ready and willing to unpack the emotional baggage of all things Bravo and more: Jared Alexander (actor, entertainment writer, and contributor at Parade Magazine). They sip on lattes and spill the tea: what Karen's court case means for her future on Potomac (and the differences in how her DUI has been discussed on TV vs. other Housewives), whether or not Kyle owed Dorit notice that she and PK were still texting (memes), a Kyle confessional that may have backfired, Sutton's unspooling over whether or not she "weaponized" Dorit's personal pain, RHONY's second season curse (or a full series foundation flopping), Salt Lake's ability to do what Vanderpump Rules could not, and more. RHONY may be heading nowhere, but this super-sized convo soared - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 630!

And the lord said, Lo - not you Bosworth, the other meaning of the word - I shall pass on to thee season 4 of Salt Lake City, and anoint you, dear viewers, to tell the tale of everyone not named Shah. And the people said, yay-ish. Sarah receives the biblical scroll also known as RHOSLC's season opener, and feels the need to spread the good word. And some of those words? Perhaps not only good. But hopeful! She deep dives the ways to understand a previously idealized Housewife as one living her life in a complicated but human parallel (Heather, ahem), the possibly-forced hope placed upon Housewife friendships that seemed truly beyond repair at/after the reunion (Heather and Lisa, Heather and Whitney, Meredith and Whitney, Meredith and Lisa, Sarah and Heather, Jen Shah and the Secret Service), Mary's complicated return (in all the ways), Monica's Jen Aydin energy, and yes, oh yes, Angie K's biblically bad style. And this episode wouldn't be complete without a meditation/prayer for Salt Lake, in a moment of faith that will bring the Bravo community together. Blessed be the snowflake (not so fast - the literal kind) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 453! Winter is here.

Call it a to be continued, "Back From the Future"-style. Thanks to some updated receipts (thanks, Bravo Docket), and Sarah's AG mission statement ("normalize changing your mind based on new information"), Sarah sits down for an OC reunion part 1 rewatch, and deepens perspectives on the dynamics between Emily, Katie, Heather...and us. Orange County may be over next week (waaaaaa), but the convo is ongoing - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 611!

Sarah hears the term 'bed rot' - always a few weeks/months behind, like any good non TikToker - and realizes that the only term for catching up on Miami's complete reunion cycle is 'bed of roses.' After binging all three parts of the RHOM reunion, and yes, of course, watching BH yet again, she invites over one of her Bravoholic pals to the cloffice to unpack it all: content creator and ally to viral shrimp cereal commentary, Christine Biancavilla. They discuss their single girls' guide to Housewives marriages (and what Housewives fans are missing of Mo's vulnerability, seen in recent Netflix clips), Julia's new role as the bone collector of Miami (one with phenomenal lip sync power), Garcelle and Crystal's fascinating side eyes about Dorit and PK's marriage, Kyle’s erasure of Sutton's vulnerability-based storylines (and why Guerdy deserves all of the flowers in the ether), and the most toxic Housewives divorces. Mauricio may have consciously uncoupled from the Housewives universe this season, but this convo is all in - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 517!

Sarah hears that back row mezzanine seats have become available for Jen Shah's upcoming trial, and immediately contacts the SarSquad (her fish, PK), to arrange for tickets to opening night (it's a limited run/support the arts!). She thinks of no better person to unpack all the baggage associated with Jen's on and off camera work than AG's official legal correspondent, Emily D. Baker (former prosecutor, legal commentator, and the host of The Emily Show). They discuss how Jen's legal future may be impacted by her positioning herself as a victim onscreen, the complicated reality behind Whitney's booby prize (giving Seth a boob cake), and how the pressure of focusing on women's bodies often falls on women to resolve, and why it's important to see Heather as an imperfect person when it comes to the Lisa debate. Winter is here, let the opinions snow (a different kind, RHONY) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 279!

Waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things. In celebration of AG's 400th episode, Sarah crosses a few items off her list: winning the Powerball, getting a rent reduction on next year's cloffice lease (LOL), and yes, receiving an AG kiki RSVP from (NBD NBD) Christopher Middle Name Manzo (a familiar face from RHONJ and Manzo'd with Children, host of the new podcast Christory, and friend-of, family style, on Caroline Manzo's cooking show "Food, Love, & Chaos" and the podcast Dear Albie). After calming herself with whatever Vicki took before that post-Brooks reunion ep (you know the one), Sarah and Chris discuss the weaponization of memory, how to process conflict and conflict resolution as the child of a Housewife often embroiled in both, subverting the use of "relevancy" as an online attack, why Team Manzo doesn't come with a lifetime loyalty card, and the impact of leveraged trust between long-term producers and their cast. Evidently, he's Madonna, because Sarah can't stop screaming and LiveNation says this convo merits a surcharge - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 400!

Sarah fled NYC to Paris like Mauricio whenever he hears someone in a far-flung land whisper, "The Agency." And yet, here we stand, with a new ep, recorded mere moments after the Beverly Hills finale aired. Mademoiselle Galli (née Madame, she is spiritually mid-twenties plus after all) is joined by Madame Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, Sarah's Bravoholic pal, fellow member of the content creator Lady Gang, and host of the new pod High & Low. They settle into a Zoom marriage counseling session, to discuss what the eff went wrong with Kyle and Mo like it's a Law and Order autopsy of the heart (the romance cartoon version). The highs, lows, BBDB seeing Erika on-screen and saying hell no's, Kyle's reveal about an inciting incident during her final confessional, Sutton's vulnerable conversation with Porter about identity and acceptance, Dorit and PK's tense stalemate, and why on earth we didn't see Crystal's mom. And Annemarie was there, which is nice. Beverly Hills has a reunion ahead, much like a croissant Sarah is about to imbibe - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 511!

Devastated after a terrible week of world events, Sarah decides to cleanse her spirit the best way she knows how: with a shower of cackles thanks to the absolute Queen of Bravo, voice of the network and also angels above, Amy Phillips (host of Radio Andy and SiriusXM's radio show Reality Checked, co-author of "Cook It, Spill It, Throw It," a Real Housewives parody cookbook, and narrator of the "Not All Diamonds and Rosé" audiobook).They discuss the ways narrative storytelling has been impacted by binge TV and TikTok culture, the differences in how marital "triggers" are currently being used on NJ vs OC, Noella's "leaning in," and heightened insecurity behind Louie's concern about filming. Come for a break and a smile, and stay for Sarah and Amy talking about bangs - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 291!

*Here's what you can do to help the people of Ukraine, right now* (Sources: Time Magazine, Fortune, NPR)

One simple step, experts say, is to remain informed about the conflict and to be cautious about the information that’s spread on social media. Disinformation is one of Russia’s favorite weapons of war, and accidentally amplifying it can harm civilians. 

Another easy step is to donate money. Most large international aid organizations, including UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee, are currently working in Ukraine and neighboring countries, where a growing number of displaced people are fleeing.

Here are a few local/grassroots organizations who are accepting online donations:

Voices of Children is a Ukraine-based aid organization that provides psychological support to children who have witnessed war. It uses art therapy and storytelling to support children’s wellbeing, and provides financial support to families who have suffered as a result of war.

The International Rescue Committee has a long history of providing resources to refugees fleeing countries facing humanitarian crisis. Its leaders have responded to the situation in Ukraine by meeting with organizations in Poland and Ukraine to gauge the potential number of refugees and their needs so it can quickly mobilize and provide whatever assistance is needed. You can make a donation via its website. While the organization will accept donations of any size, it states on the site that a monthly donation of $108 will provide eight families with temporary shelter.

Vostok SOS, which is also based in Ukraine, partners with German-Swiss NGO Liberico to provide immediate evacuation support to Ukrainians attempting to flee their homes. Vostok maintains a hotline for Ukrainians in need and, going forward, hopes to provide trauma support to victims of the Russian invasion.

Malteser International, a nonprofit based in Malta, has been collecting “everyday” supplies for Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes. “What is especially needed are everyday medicines, as well as cots, blankets, food, and cash to provide for the many people affected,” Oliver Hochedez, head of Malteser International’s emergency relief department, said in a public statement.

Sunflower of Peace was started five years ago as a fundraiser to provide backpacks with first aid and medical supplies to front-line doctors, and is currently providing backpacks to Ukrainian soldiers, citizens, and volunteers. According to its fundraising information, “Each backpack is designed for groups of 5 to 10 people and includes a variety of first aid supplies: bandages, anti hemorrhagic medicine like Quikclot and Celox, medical instruments, and a means for survival in extreme conditions.” Donate through the fundraising page on Facebook. 

 Revived Soldiers Ukraine funds medication and medical supplies for field and army hospitals at the front lines of eastern Ukraine. It was founded in 2016 and has since brought 50 wounded Ukrainian soldiers to U.S. hospitals for care. How you can help: The organization’s president, Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, said they urgently need monetary donations to buy medication and to repair a car used to rush injured soldiers away from the front lines.

BStrong, founded by Bethenny Frankel, provides emergency assistance to people in crisis, in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission. They've committed to $10M in aid distribution to help those affected in Ukraine, in addition to on-the-ground support. Donate here.

Sarah watches the new Salt Lake episodes and levitates to another universe, filled with hope and possibility. Luckily, she learned several languages/dialects, ones Duolingo only wishes it had heard of first. She realizes the universe is in need of another episode stat, so she Uber Pools back to the cloff, where she meets Los Angelino Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey," presented by Betches Media). They make some espresso martinis (JK, Heather accomplished a caffeine and vodka-themed Scared Straight) and discuss the Survivor-esque roles Tamra and Heather Dubrow are currently playing on Orange County, searching for Jen's identity -- separate from Ryan -- on and off TV, Shan's reported decision to seek treatment (and why her continued relationship with John is a seemingly toxic state), Angie K as the epitome of a 'so bad it's good' ethos, differing opinions on Whitney's upset toward Meredith, and the grounding, communal impact of Heather Gay's "Who Among Us" post-cocktail ride. Lisa Barlow lost her 60k ring, and thank goodness this convo was found - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 460!

Sarah puts on a knitted pussy hat she purloined from Carole's mom at the DC Women's March (what, they were all aglow with lady patriotism, and Sarah wanted RHONY swag), and decides a Bechdel test-approved episode is most certainly in order. So she Zooms up a writer girl featured on last week's BH, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, proprietor of pipedreams.fun, and bee/cucumber truther). They discuss the ways that alcohol has been used as an invitation to escalate on Girl's Trip and underplay on Bev Hills, a coastal war over Housewife intellectual acumen, and Tracie's continued confusion over Diana's 'coffee table book' years after her viral Jezebel piece. You don't need a reservation to Chateau Marmont to cuddle up to this comfort blanket of a convo, mostly because Sarah's cackle will surely keep you up - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 232!
