The Bravo Rundown
by Genevieve and Sonia
Genevieve and Sonia are two friends who met online through a shared love of analytical deep dives into pop culture and Bravo TV. While the two live almost 2,000 miles apart, that doesn’t get in the way of their dissection of relationships and drama, it only enhances their discussions. Join them each week as they dive deep into the hottest Bravo topics.Genevieve Melzer@therealmezofbravo - Tiktok, Instagram & [email protected] Weber@just_bookin_around - Tiktok, Instagram, & Threads@bravobravobooksandbravo - Tiktok, Instagram, & [email protected]
