RHOSLC Monica Garcia Owns It All

Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Monica Garcia stunned everyone when she was exposed using a fake Instagram account 'Reality Von Tease' to reveal her castmates’ dirty little secrets. Monica sits down for an interview with me in person and delivers what can only be described as a master class in owning your…sh*t. Monica reveals a bombshell exposing another housewife who provided information to Reality Von Tease to expose Jen Shah. She pulls no punches, telling me what was the last straw that prompted her to contact the authorities and help put an end to Jen Shah’s wrongdoing, why she made the decision to join the Housewives as the only newbie among a cast of veterans, and what’s next for her as the smoke clears.

"Where is Wendy Williams?" - Exploring the Complexities of Her Life and Struggles

In 2022, Mark Ford and Erica Hanson, the executive producers of the revealing new docuseries, “Where is Wendy Williams” (now available on Lifetime), set out to chronicle the return of one of daytime’s loudest and most popular voices. What they found was a lonely woman in crisis despite being placed under guardianship by New York State. Ford and Hanson discuss remaining nimble in their approach to documenting Wendy Williams’ struggle with alcoholism and her descent into dementia; being stonewalled by the system allegedly in place to protect her; earning the trust of the Williams family, and filmmaking as a form of health advocacy.

Tara Schuster Learns to Glow

In her debut self-help memoir, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies, author Tara Schuster candidly recounts her escape from a brutal home life and her efforts to re-parent herself as an adult. In her follow-up, Glow in the F*cking Dark, Tara navigates the emotional ripple effect that occurs after she is fired from her executive post at Comedy Central. In a frank discussion, we talk about how we allow our jobs to define us, journaling out of spite, the validation in defining one’s trauma, and how we cannot (and should not) force forgiveness.

The Secrets of Polygamy

Despite being prohibited by the Mormon Church and deemed illegal, the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) appear to openly engage in multiple underage marriages, often justifying these unions under the pretext of religious customs. Executive Producer Lori Golden-Stryer joins me for a look inside her new docuseries, “The Secrets of Polygamy” (now airing on A&E – new episodes Mondays at 10/9pm Central) and explains how visibility is the best weapon we have against what amounts to kidnapping, trafficking, and rape. Lori and her team of dedicated investigators shine a light on the isolation that permits the practice of polygamy and helps reunite the children left behind by parents who break free from the FLDS.

Bianca Del Rio Can’t Say No

For all my episodes I prepare copious notes and questions to try and get to know my guests, but from the moment the tape started rolling on my interview with drag queen and comedian Bianca Del Rio, I tossed them aside and let her do all the talking. Full of unbridled energy and raunchy jokes, Bianca told me all about getting ready for her 60-city “Dead Inside” comedy tour (tickets on sale at www.thebiancadelrio.com). Bianca sounds off on the current state of drag, the power of saying “yes,” her unique road rituals, and surviving in a world obsessed with cancel culture.

Award-winning journalist Tony Harris is back to talk about his new special, “Casey Anthony’s Parents – The Lie Detector Test” (now on A&E). In 2008, Casey Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, went missing and the child’s disappearance gripped the world. When her decomposing body was found near the Anthonys’ home a month later, the pursuit of justice for Caylee began. Casey was found not guilty of all significant charges in 2011, yet many questions remained as to what happened.

Scott Nathan’s Bad Decisions

Meet Scott Michael Nathan: Photographer, social media star, raconteur, and now the author of “The Big Book of Bad Decisions” (available at baddecisionsbook.com). One good decision Scott made was moving from the Midwest to Los Angeles, where he eventually became a leading photographer shooting A-list rock stars and celebrities, which is how he and I first met. Reading Scott’s book is one thing, but listening to him hilariously tell no-holds-barred stories about dates gone wrong, sugar daddies and the women who love them, celebrity bad behavior, and his misadventures in the Southland is pure entertainment.

Hack My Home, Please

My guests today, Jessica Banks, Ati Williams, Mikel Welch, and Brooks Atwood are the hosts of the new Netflix home design series, “Hack My Home.” And since these brothers and sisters from other mothers and misters couldn’t all fit into one recording booth, we hacked them into pairs, recorded them two at a times, and pieced it together much like they do to the homes they renovate on their show. The chemistry they have together was evident in their lively discussion about innovation, brainstorming, sweat equity, and design trends.

Don Argott & Sheena Joyce Score with “Kelce”

In their riveting and touching new film, “KELCE” (now streaming on Prime Video), Don Argott, director, and Sheena Joyce, producer, walk the line between documentarians and fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. For two years, their cameras had extraordinary access to Jason Kelce, Philly’s favorite center, and his family as he considers retirement, strives toward a second Super Bowl win, and supports and raises his growing brood. In true Philadelphia form, Argott and Joyce are as scrappy as they are successful and show their audience there’s much more to Jason and his brother Travis Kelce (the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs) than just playing professional football.
