Travels in Hyper Reality (TV)

Travels in Hyper Reality (TV) featuring Fosca D’Acierno interviewed by Andrew Niklas Explicit language warning Today’s special bonus episode features yours truly being interviewed about my adventures in Italian reality tv land by Andrew Niklas, a friend, collaborator, filmmaker, and editor of this podcast. As many of you already know, I was cast on an Italian reality tv show, Best Weekend, produced by Banijay Italia, that aired last month here in Italy on a major network, NOVE. lt is currently streaming on their website for free.  In this q&a, Andrew and I speak about what was going on behind the scenes, how I was selected, what I was feeling leading up to filming, what I was expecting, and what really happened once we began shooting.  I also muse on my fellow contestants, our celebrity host, Francesco Panella, the format of the show, and just how little I knew and know about the wonderful world of reality television.   Finally, I share how profoundly the experience impacted me and how surprised I was by and unprepared for the range of emotions that stepping so far outside of my comfort zone stirred up in me.  Links  Banijay Italia https://www.banijayitalia.it/  Canale 9 https://nove.tv/programmi-nove/best-weekend My blog chronicling the experience  https://www.askfosca.com/blog/ Recorded Via Zoom, October 24, 2024 Podcast Editor: Andrew Niklas  Production Intern: Ava Lees
