With Betsy out of town last week, JJ was joined by a friend and Executive Producer (we’ll call her "EP") for a very special episode of Producer’s Corner! You guys sent in a ton of GREAT questions, and we got so much great content that we're going to split this into 2 episodes, with Part 2 dropping early next week!
We dive into a ton of topics, including what it's like to film intimate scenes as a producer; how to build out storylines for a season; what happens when a new cast member isn't good; and so much more... PLUS, EP shares some behind-the-scenes stories from her time with casts of Housewives and Southern Charm!
"EP" has produced such shows as The Real Housewives of New York, Pump Rules, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Texicanas, Southern Charm, Manzo’d With Children, and Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles just to name a few!
Check us out on our ig @reality.bites.podcast and DM us with any burning questions you want answered or if you just want to shoot the shit... And don't forget to look out for our RH Atlanta, Southern Charm, and RH Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives episodes later this week!
