What Else Is Going On? With Taria S. Faison

In this episode I got to have one of my absolute favorites Kendrick Tucker @realitycomicstoo from the Reality & Comics Too podcast. Kendrick was so gracious to use his lunch hour to record with me and when I tell you even though it was lunchtime, this episode satisfied me like a full dinner meal, palate cleanser and a dessert. We start out touching briefly on our girls on the East Coast, the melanated Queens of RHOP. We talk about the goal post continuously moving and the hypocrisy of some of the cast and some of us viewers. Then we get into RHOSLC and our girl Mary. We talk about the cult chatter (it may very well be, but we will wait and see) and the questioning of her finances (Mary has businesses outside of church) and our own personal experiences with pastors we know that have real live Monday-Friday daytime jobs, outside of their pastoral duties. And how taking a vow of poverty is a personal choice, NOT a biblical mandate and is NOT required of leaders.

And lastly we talk about everyone’s new Peacock favorite, the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.  We talk the Cynthia/Kenya relationship, that fine Melissa Gorga and how it seems as if Bravo was ok with sending black women in to deal with a housewife from New York who had racist claims against her corroborated. Imagine that.
And I agree with Kendrick, I’ll take Atlanta and Jersey on these trips over everyone!

In this episode I got to talk to Kristina Ann Read @readkristina and when I tell you I truly enjoyed myself and we had a ball...we really had a ball! We of course talk all things Bravo and housewives. We talk about the ladies of RHOBH (we see you Erika) and our ladies over in Potomac (do you only fellow spinners get Candiace?) And we issue a challenge to the listeners that is both terrifying and also extremely exciting! Here’s a hint: swiper YES to swiping! I truly love Kristina and I know you will too!

This week I got to have an awesome conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon @tiffanymoonmd and it was like Chicken Soup for the Soul: Housewives Edition. From growing up with minority parents, to trying to assimilate into a culture that is unfamiliar, to meeting her husband in a club, to how needed and beneficial therapy is to the triggers she experienced being on the Housewives to where she sees herself in 5 years...we talk all the things. And at the end, Tiffany plays a game with me where she is the producer and I help cast a new reality show which may lead to a little housewives snark...but of course, it's all in fun!

Tiffany was every bit of fun and thoughtful and real as I knew she would be. And I made her promise to be a repeat guest!

On this episode I got to welcome back my girl Kalyndee @kalyndee one half of the Housewives Heretics @housewivesheretics podcast and we kiki'd our way through this entire episode! We talk about growing up in church (those dinners after service were chef's kiss,) home buying experiences (it's almost official ya'll) and her experiences navigating the world as a biracial child in a place where a part of her wasn't accepted. And somewhere in between all of that, we get into our girls from RHOP, RHOBH and RHOSLC.
I love talking to Kalyndee and I know you will enjoy her!

This episode was recorded with Les @kurkendaal host of the Reality Reading Rainbow podcast, @realityreadingrainbow and Noor, one half of The Reality Is podcast @therealityispod and myself. We recorded this for Les' podcast and decided to upload to each of our feeds. We have an honest, raw and real conversation about the state of Bravo, the reactions to Bravo and its housewives and the disappointment that we sometimes feel as black people and people of color. We hold nothing back...Sometimes, you have to burn it to the ground and tell the truth.

In this episode, I got to talk to the hilarious LaKendra Tookes @lakendratookes and we jumped right in and got into it all! We talked about RHOBH and what's going on now, RHOP and it's history and our personal journey's with the housewives and as black women. I loved talking to LaKendra aka Kendra and I enjoyed every moment of this recording!

In this episode I got to talk to Nik Lee @rhoutofcontext and when I tell you, I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE SECOND of our conversation. We start out getting to know Nik and his backstory and how he went from New Zealand to Australia and his personal experience with the Mormon church. Then we get into all things housewives. We talk RHOSLC, RHOP and RHOBH while sharing more personal experiences in between. And Nik breaks down how the cast members and viewers of RHOBH were unconsciously pushing Crystal and Garcelle into the stereotypes of Asian and Black people in America.
I truly enjoyed Nik and you WILL be hearing more of him!

In this episode, I got to talk to Shataiya @sincerelyshataiya  from the podcast Sincerely Shataiya and we mentioned it all! We talked RHOBH and the reunion part 1 (the microagressions that were shining as bright as the diamonds they hold,) RHOP (don't start none won't be none...period) and RHOSLC. And in between the housewives discussions we talk about being black women bravo watchers and let me tell you...it ain't easy.

In this episode I got to talk to CJ Sykes @cj.sykess Host of the IG show, Weekly Scoop with CJ! I met CJ through IG a couple months back and we’ve been talking ever since! He has taken IG Lives by storm interviewing some of the most notable Housewives across all franchises (and someone from Bachelor Nation) but in this episode, it's CJ's turn to be interviewed.  We talk about his entrance into Bravo and interviewing the housewives, who gave him the advice to start his show, some of his most memorable interviews and which housewife he wants to talk to next. Then we get into a little RHOBH and Erika Jayne, RHOSLC and the Jen/Meredith/Brooks triangle and who he would take on the ultimate housewives trip.  And did I mention he is 16?! I had a lot of  fun with CJ  and he has promised to come back for another round! Make sure you go follow him on IG @cj.sykess so you can be sure to get all the scoop with Housewives and more to come!

In this episode, I got to talk to my friend Quin @thequinlamar from the podcasts Know That @knowthatpod and This is Gonna Be Good @thisisgonnabegoodpod and when I tell you we had a BALL!!! We start out with Quin putting together his own housewives all star cast of current housewives for a trip. Then we roll into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (I got a point from him) and The Real Housewives of Potomac (he got a point from me-maybe two) and we compare the housewives to the dozens (if you know, you know.) Somehow we end up talking about the appeal of a wave cap (ok it was me), Quin puts together another housewives all-star trip of past housewives and he gives us a drink recipe that represents the cast of Beverly Hills that I can't wait to make it! I truly get my life every time I talk to Quin and I can't wait for him to come back! As always, shout out to my favorite wave cap wearing podcast producer @cbreezzzey
