Payne in the Pod

Erin and Margo are best friends and hosts of the Best Neighbors podcast are Mary Payne’s guests for this episode. These two friends live in New York City and their podcast is all about the neighborhood Kiki(a social gathering, a chat) in NYC, reality tv and pop culture.

Bosses of Southern Charm

Mary Payne and the two discuss Southern Charm, a popular show on Bravo. They talk about the southern gothic mentality that surrounds the show as well as how the women on the show are working it and becoming “bosses.”

Bravo's Real Housewives of New York Takes the Cake

The three rave about The Real Housewives of New York and give arguments as to why it is by far the best show in the Housewives Franchise. Erin and Margo spill about which of the cast members they have seen in the wild in New York.

Best Neighbors and the Blackout on Broadway

A few weeks ago New York City had a blackout in the Hell’s Kitchen/Broadway area. Erin and Margo can’t keep it to themselves how great New York City is and how great it was that the broadway stars performed for the paying audiences out on the street.

Ever had a celebrity run-in? If you haven’t, have you wondered what it is like and where to find celebrities in New York City? Well, then the Out in the Wild podcast is for you. 

Out in the Wild hosts Jess and David are Mary Payne’s guests for this episode. They share with Mary Payne how an idea for a book prompted them to start the podcast after just meeting with each other two times. They live in New York City and have had a number of celebrity and Bravolebrity friends and run-ins, so why not share their stories and secrets to having celebrity star encounters in The City?

Mary Payne, Jess, and David discuss The Polo Bar and Cafeteria for nightly celebrity sightings.

Big Break by Kelly Bensimon

One of the biggest breaks with their podcast came from having Kelly Bensimon as a guest from Real Housewives of New York. Jess and David divulge the details of what happened after Kelly made a risque comment about Bethenny Frankel. Having Kelly Bensimon on the podcast and mentioning it on Watch What Happens Live and on Andy Cohen’s radio show generated a lot of traffic and press for Out in the Wild.

Tips for Taking Selfies

David gives Mary Payne very informative instructions on how to take a perfect selfie.

       1. It’s all about the high angle - hold camera up and tilt down

       2. Look at the dot, not the picture of yourself

Bravo’s Real Housewives’ Rundown

What is everyone’s favorite Real Housewives franchise and who are their favorite Housewives? The three discuss Real Housewives of Potomac, Real Housewives of Atlanta and a short overview of how the Bravolebrities get paid.

Celebrities and public figures get divorced all of the time, but how many of us really know the whole story behind the divorces? The podcast, Trashy Divorces, focuses on public divorces and how trashy and scandalous they really can be. Married couple and podcast hosts, Alicia and Stacie, visit with Mary Payne in this episode.

Britney Spears, Elizabeth Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Sheen, and The Royals are just some of the famous divorces Alicia and Stacie have discussed on their podcast. They share with Mary Payne that most episodes take 15-20 hours of research to put together. Within each episode they each share a trashy divorce with one another and then they give each divorce a “trash can” rating based on how trashy it was.

Their show has been compared to My Favorite Murder, but without the murder aspect and Alicia and Stacie are happy to divulge their guilty pleasure with us all.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good Texan true crime story? Gone Cold is a podcast that highlights cold cases from the State of Texas.

Mary Payne is joined by one of the show's hosts, Vince, who reveals that this podcast is unlike most true crime podcasts: they highlight the life of the lost and/or missing as much as possible, rather than the suspect or offender. Vince shares how they choose which stories to honor and how each host has specific responsibilities for producing the episodes.

A case in one of Gold Cold’s first episodes — the disappearance and death of Carla Walker — had a major development and Vince shares the details with Mary Payne, as well as how the local police department is dealing with it.
