    RHONJ Taglines Ranked, Namaste B$tches Podcast Ends, Vanderpump Rules Pauses & Rachel Leviss Boos Up

    RHONJ Taglines Ranked, Namaste B$tches Podcast Ends, Vanderpump Rules Pauses & Rachel Leviss Boos Up

    The RHONJ Taglines have arrived just in time for tomorrow night’s premiere of RHONJ. We break down the taglines one by one, rank them from worst to best, deep dive the meaning behind each and discuss what we can expect this season on RHONJ.  Next we pause and take a moment of silence for the passing of one of our very own, The Namaste B$tches Podcast. We discuss what led to the end of that Podcast versus the fake narrative that is being put out there, the BravoCon of it all, the DM’s being sent around and other Housewives Podcasts that have failed. Vicki Gunvalson we see you. Heading west, we discuss Vanderpump Rules’ pause - the reasons behind it, how it will affect the show and when we can realistically expect this top rated Bravo show to return to our screens.  Finally, we deep dive Rachel Leviss’ rumored new situationship / boyfriend Investment CEO Matthew Dunn.

    Introducing 083 - Asheville, NC: Blue Ridge Boom or Backwoods Bust? from The Skiptown All-Stars Travel Podcast.
    Follow the show: The Skiptown All-Stars Travel Podcast
    This week, we explore what it's like visiting and potentially living in Asheville, NC! We got to catch up with family and spend time touring different neighborhoods, seeing the sights like the Biltmore Estate, eating at local restaurants, discussing the art scene and microbreweries, and evaluating if Asheville seems like a viable place to live long-term. The natural beauty of Asheville was striking--even on the worst weather day of the year. However, the cost of real estate, crime rates and the prevalence of homelessness were also a rude awakening. Did Asheville live up to its reputation as an artsy, funky mountain city? Hit play and find out!
    Our YouTube Channel is bursting with way more content.

Val loves Bravo ,

You guys should stop shading other podcasts! It’s not cool. Do you look up the TOP podcasts?? The Two T’s is one of the best podcasts, probably close to number one on the charts! Love Sarah- she’s the voice of reason and David just shades everyone. So annoying. BUT I do listen to you guys and I like it just not all the shade. 💜

bananrama98 ,

WOW

Love that you are covering RHONJ in detail. You do it best.!

lindyfly ,

Not all that

I used to really enjoy but feel like he’s gotten so nasty. Also, zero brand loyalty so I can’t take any recommendations from you. Why anyone would do a deal with you is absurd. I think the Bethany take was pretty off base. Her mothers passing has gutted her. Not being in a place to discuss her divorce at this time makes total sense. She’s taking care of her mental health.
