Episode 28: "Vanderpump Rules"

The Insatiable Content Podcast

Well, it's official. We've sunk to all new lows over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. Due to external pressures, I've not only been watching the 10th season of "Vanderpump Rules", but I'm actually up on ALL the gossip of Scandoval. So up on it in fact that I'm podding about it with none other than Kate Simon (we apologize to all the listeners expecting something more high-brow -- normal programming will return next week with a complete breakdown of the post-modern thematic overlaps of Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow). Even more embarrassing? There's a strong case that this is some of the most compelling, meta, and thought-provoking (I can't believe I just used that phrase) reality TV ever. This season turned the mirror of reality TV around on itself, with the audience becoming more knowledge than the characters on the show about what was happening in their lives. The result is a fascinating front row seat to witness how striving, D-list stars respond to real events that impact their real lives and breakdown the fourth wall of reality TV. I couldn't turn away and this is worth talking about it. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself to ease the shame of liking this show (again, I want to point out I was FORCED to watch this). Tune in to hear all about it, as well as for a recommendation for "The Uncertain Hour" podcast and my victory lap about Taylor Swift's faulty relationship radar. Listen now!
