Podcast Series Hot Mess-Terpiece Theatre

Comedian & pop culture critic Jolenta Greenberg has a theory: reality TV isn’t ruining culture - it is culture. Join her and a cast of sharp, funny guests as they dig into the details behind the drama and unpack why we can’t get enough of those iconic scenes and unforgettable characters. This is the place for highbrow conversations about “lowbrow” TV.

All seasons By the Book & How to Be Fine are also in this feed. To hear back episodes, just scroll down!

Tamra in the Cabinet with Chris DeRosa

Tamra in the Cabinet with Chris DeRosa

Jolenta is joined by reality TV expert/producer Chris DeRosa (Fixing Famous People) to discuss an iconic scene from The Real Housewives of Orange County. Together they explore how Tamra meeting her future daughter-in-law teaches us about the damage men can do with their silence, the rise of conservative ideology in America, the history of DM sliding, and so much more.
