Get'n Cozy with Erin Hill

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Imani Craig, Taste of Reality’s Marketing guru! She runs TORs instagram and keeps the feed up to date with the latest reality and pop culture tea! I discovered the sweet Florida native also works for a local non-profit, Habitat for Humanity. She has a big heart for helping others but saves room for her guilty pleasure, reality tv! Our chat about the new season of The Bachelor lead us to discuss the lack of diversity in the franchise as well as most reality tv shows, as a result of production and those running the show being predominantly white and male. We agreed more needs to be done to continue and speed up the progress we’ve seen in the last year, most likely due to the BLM movement. Imani is a huge fangirl for One Tree Hill, like myself and has attended many conventions and met several of the cast, pre-Covid of course. We bonded over our love for the show and I gave her some advice for dating in your mid-twenties, I have no doubt she will find what she’s looking for! Imani is a gem and we are all grateful to have her here on our team!

Contestants Rudi and Julia Rae may not have found love on the reality show The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, but they formed a true friendship and are now roommates! I wanted to have the talented beauties on my Instagram live show Tub Talk to hear all about their new lives in Los Angeles. We talked boys, creating new music in quarantine, reminisced about their favorite moments from the show, and who they crushed on this season of The Bachelorette! They shared their big plans for 2021, and whether they would consider touring together! Such a fun episode, can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two in music and love! Check out Rudi’s new single Butterfly, and both ladies will be releasing EP’s next year! Happy Holidays and happy listening!

This week my guest is fellow Taste of Reality podcaster Ashley Hoover Baker! She is the host and CEO of the On This Day Entertainment podcast, and calls herself a gossip guru, fan girl/pop culture enthusiast with a sweet spot for nostalgia! She is Louisiana native, current Vegas transplant who was a former elementary school teacher for many years. She took a leap of faith when she left teaching to embark on this passion project, OTDE! Her goal is to provide relief from the everyday drama of life with a fun pop culture escape! We had a blast chatting about all her first moments! First childhood celeb crushes, her first reality tv show addictions, her first celeb guests on her show, performing at her first live podcast, and her first fangirl experience! We also got into some deeper topics including the lack of diversity that continues on tv today, as well as the lack of integrity found on so many of the Bravo franchises and series. I enjoyed discovering how she and I are so similar, and I’m proud to say I’m part of her “Fanny Pack” now! We hope you enjoy our episode!

Get ready to laugh and be entertained, this week my guest was the amazing Ryan Bailey, host of the hit pop culture podcast So Bad it’s Good with Ryan Bailey! Ryan covers all the reality tv we love to hate, so I had to have him on the pod to spill all the hot tea in the world of entertainment! From the current season of The Bachelorette to the premier of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, you’ll love Ryan’s commentary and unique views. He also had shocking tea on a current RHOBH housewife that you have to hear!

Fellow podcaster and reality tv addict Imani joins me on this episode of Get’n Cozy! She shares how her popular pop culture/Bravo podcast Mixing with Mani began and dishes on attending the virtual premiere party for the newest franchise, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! She loved the premiere and meeting the amazing women, and sees huge potential in this new show that will air on Nov. 11th! She even drops a few of the tag lines from the season, and they are some of the best I’ve heard in years! We also chatted about the wild current season of The Bachelorette and the big twist that is coming, but more importantly how the new lead was introduced. Neither of us were happy how she was first presented, bikini clad coming out of a pool, unlike the traditional fairytale limo entrance in a gown. We break that down and so much more!
