Reality TV feat. Caroline Moss

Oh, I Like That

We’ve dabbled in reality TV over the years and decided it was high time we talk about it on OILT. So, we invited our friend and Real Housewives expert Caroline Moss to talk about reality TV and how it’s changed and evolved since the early 1990s, and also to dive deep into the Real Housewives phenomenon and franchises. Caroline provides a great overview of the entire genre of reality TV, and has recommendations for the Housewives-curious who aren’t sure where to start.
