Welcome to Retired Party Girls, the reality TV podcast where besties Caitlin Marshall (@bestiesbycaitlin) and Tessa Scott (@yourfavoriteexgf) break down all things Bravo, pop culture, and the shows we emotionally invest in way too hard.

In our first episode, we’re talking about our lifelong love affair with Bravo, obsessing over Summer House, deep diving The Real Housewives of Potomac, and why reality TV will always have our hearts.

We also spiral into Tell Me Lies, Britney Spears lore, and the millennial trauma that made us this way.

If you’ve been searching for a reality tv podcast that feels like your group chat — unfiltered Real Housewives opinions, Bravo hot takes, and pop culture chaos — welcome home.

Caitlin is back with a life update on the absence, and to have a little much-needed fun with a brand-new season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and the premiere episode “Hotdogs and Hearsay” does not disappoint. Angie plans a surprise RV getaway for the group, but with Lisa tied up with work, Bronwyn seizes the moment to stir things up with rumors about Lisa’s business. Britani doesn’t hold back when she calls out Whitney, while Heather and Bronwyn quickly find themselves in a heated showdown. The drama escalates when Angie drops a bold claim about one of the women, and just when the tension feels ready to explode, a familiar face from Salt Lake City’s past resurfaces — bringing a haunting twist to the night. From RV revelations to ghostly surprises, Caitlin breaks down every messy exchange, shocking accusation, and icy stare that set the tone for this unforgettable season opener.
