Reality TV is dismissed as guilty pleasure, low brow… even trash. But whether you want to admit it or not, you probably have heard of Snooki, Lisa Vanderpump or Kim Kardashian.
Over the past 30 years, reality TV has become a place to see the social and political moment play out in real time -- from racial tensions on The Real World New York to gender dynamics on The Bachelor.
On this season, join host Mariah Smith as she dissects the history of the genre one show at a time, revealing how it’s shaped our culture and how our culture shaped it.

Introducing: Critics at Large

When Kylie Jenner launches her lip kits of matching lipsticks and lip liners, it appears the youngest Kardashian-Jenner is suddenly at the helm of a sky-rocketing makeup company — one that catches the interest of Forbes magazine. But what's really happening behind the scenes? Listen to never-before-heard recordings of Kris and Kylie from the journalist who found herself at the center of a scandal.

Behind every infamous news story is a journalist trying to hold power to account. Join reporters Vanessa Grigoriadis and Gabriel Sherman as they take an in-depth look at the most explosive scandals of this century. From high-profile divorces to sex cults to the lies that started a war, they’ll guide you through the juiciest, most outrageous, celeb-filled stories of the last two decades, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to shine an unflattering light on the world’s most powerful people. 



A Campside Media & Sony Music Entertainment production.

Plumping Profits?: The Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Scandal

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is breaking bread with big-name friends—old and new—for a delicious meal and candid convos that can only happen over a glass of wine. He’s getting out of the studio and into his favorite restaurants with people like his on screen Modern Family sister Julie Bowen, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Jesse Williams, and so many more. A celebrity-interview podcast, who’s doing that? No one. Which is why Jesse needed to.

He and his guests will get vulnerable about everything from relationships and family history, to mental health and imposter syndrome. They’ll laugh about his attempted modeling career and being starstruck by Beyoncé. Look, will a chocolate soufflé get him to reveal all his secrets? Yeah. Yeah, it will. So, join Jesse… dinner’s on him. 



Dinner’s on Me is a Sony Music Entertainment production.

Introducing…Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Ever wondered why Tony Soprano’s therapist stuck with him? Why Fleabag is obsessed with sex or why Walter White is always in his underpants? ‘Shrink the Box’ is where actor comedian Ben Bailey Smith and psychotherapist Sasha Bates put their favourite fictional characters such as Shiv from Succession, Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends on the couch to analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama. Sasha and Ben explore why these characters make certain decisions, what would happen if they made different ones and what we can learn from their mistakes. The perfect combination of psychology, self-help and the best TV since the birth of the box-set.

Introducing… Shrink The Box

Omid tells his story to Abi. Abi tells Omid’s story to Sean, then Sean to Kai, Kai to Sikisa and Sikisa to Helen… each time with hilarious misrememberings, improvisations, stumbles, fumbles and laughs.

Six comedians have a funny story to tell. Can they pass the story along the chain without completely twisting the tale? But this isn’t like the game you play at school where you only whisper short sentences. Each episode is a complete, beautifully written story, with each retelling getting funnier (and weirder!) as it passes on.

And boy, does season one of Please Tell Me A Story feature an all star comedy cast: Omid Djalili, Abi Clarke, Seán Burke, Kai Samra, Sikisa, and Helen Bauer.

Join them as the story gets weird…https://listen.sonymusic-podcasts.link/qxhC1Drl
