You’ll also hear conversations with fellow podcasters, creators, and superfans who love these shows just as much as we do. If you love hot tea, hot takes, nuanced conversations, and a little mess, you’re in the right place. Because around here, we don’t just recap—we get in the mix. New episodes every week.

    267. The Mix in The Box: Housewives News, RHOC & RHOA Recaps w/ Mark (The Pink Pop Box)

    Welcome back to the Mix in The Box where we drag some housewives laugh with others and judge all their antics.

Jenn needs a good side eye with some of these choices and Shannon is the victim apparently? RHOA - Mark thinks one woman has secured the biggest flop as a housewife in one season. Mani thinks K Michelle is asking all the right questions. Special guests at a launch of a product that doesn't exist. Porsha said leave her out of it but enjoy.
