Welcome to a very special bonus episode to celebrate one whole year of The Cringe is Real. How time flies! Huge thanks to all my guests and listeners - to many more cringey years to come. To celebrate - Sam kiki's with pod regualar, Aspin James. We deep dive on musicals, Chimp Crazy, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and of course The Real Housewives of Melbourne (and Sydney). Then Aspin takes us through the bizzarre and at times scary story of creating The Real Whorewives of Melbourne.
