In this bonus crossover, Jenny sits down with Mani—host of @mixingwithmani and The Mix with Mani—to talk creator origin stories, Bravo’s shifting ecosystem, and what happens when creators become storylines. We get into: setting boundaries with Bravolebs, whether OC can be saved, why Tamra’s return feels different in the podcast era, and how a little media literacy could fix a lot of mess.

Mani shares her start (hello, Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy), why she stopped breaking news, and the reality of DMs, leaks, and backlash. We chat Kiki Monique discourse, production responsibility on social, and a hype check for RHOSLC (Lisa! Meredith! Mary!). Plus off-Bravo recs: Love Island’s reunion (hosted like a Bravo sit-down), Hulu’s Mormon Wives universe, Netflix’s Unknown Number, the “Trainwrecks,” Love Con Revenge, and more.

Highlights

Creator code: interviews vs. commentary, and why those lanes matter

DMs & ethics: when to engage, when to restrict, and keeping your peace
