The Good Edit Podcast

The Good Edit is the ultimate retrospective deep dive into the minds, motives, and mayhem of Bravo’s Real Housewives universe. Each season dissects the life of a single Housewife to uncover the psychological, social, and emotional forces driving her behavior—long before and long after the cameras roll. From shifting alliances and explosive feuds to personal transformations and redemption arcs, hosts Elle Schwartz and Chris Persky trace each woman’s developmental journey from childhood to Bravo Icon, revealing how the milestones across her lifespan shape her choices, conflicts, and on-screen allegiances. At the heart of the show is an exploration of the art of the edit—how storylines are crafted, how moments are heightened or erased, and how editing can turn a woman into a hero, a villain, or a cultural phenomenon. But the editors aren’t the only ones with power. Viewers play a defining role, too. Good Edit uncovers how audience reaction, online discourse, and fan-driven narratives influence what stories stick, whose relevance rises or falls, and how these iconic women are remembered. A thoughtful, dynamic, and deeply human look at the Real Housewives world, The Good Edit invites listeners to reconsider the women they thought they knew—and the edits that shaped them.
