Page Turners, Vanderpump, The Labubu of Squishies!

By Alison Rosen on July 23, 2026 in podcast, Uncategorized

Rob Schulte is here to discuss his upcoming book, Reality TV Is the Devil (And Don’t You Forget It) but before we get into the rich history, I need to poll the group for some engrossing page-turners. I’m tired of books that are impenetrable. I want a book that reads itself to me! We also discuss scents, Dracula, Bravo, unique issues that crop up while writing an oral history of Vanderpump Rules, lotion, who the biggest liars on Vanderpump are and so much more. Plus we did a round of JMOE, HGFY and favorite words!

Paul F. Tompkins’ Arrest, Alison’s Disastrous Desk, Is Peak TV Over? (encore)

By Alison Rosen on July 2, 2026 in podcast

For Tony’s Picks number five, Tony has brought together a real A team of podcasting! We have legend Paul F. Tompkins who once heard a man tell a story about eating a cigarette to which we all have so many questions. Namely: okay so probably not the filter but did he eat the paper? And then Todd Cooper is here, the only repeat Tony’s Picks guest! I’m debuting a new rhetorical style that I need feedback on and also I want to know if I should ask my MIL to help me organize my desk and the piles of stuff that surround it. It’s gotten pretty bad. Plus Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze (Peanut Butter Cookies) and Just Me Or Everyone! And is peak television over? (original air date: June 1, 2022)

Daniel and Alison (Snack Chat and Alison’s Epiphany)

By Alison Rosen on June 29, 2026 in podcast, Uncategorized

I’ve decided the problem with my entire life is I’m too green and amateurish and probably should have gotten a communications degree at Emerson. Can I just make up for it by watching videos on YouTube? We recount our lengthy travel day and Daniel’s given up caffeine. Also he potentially cheated on me with me. We overheard an INSANE conversation at the lounge and I’m having epiphanies left and right. Plus Snack Chat!
