17. Lisa Wu Hartwell
Send a text I recorded this episode a few weeks ago, not realizing how long it would be and how long it would take to edit alongside a busy July work schedule. I talk a lot about other shows - Next Gen NYC, The Valley, etc - so if you're not interested, maybe skip 1 hour in? I do think you'll…

16. Kimberleigh Zolciak Biermann
Send a text Holy cow! Did not have a divorce filing for Denise Richards and husband, Aaron, on my bingo card for this year, yet here we are. Apparently, Aaron hasn't worked since he sold his wellness center and Denise makes $250,000 a MONTH on Only Fans? What?? More info is coming in, as we…

15. Linnethia "NeNe" Leakes
Send a text You guys! I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted last. As I explain in this episode, I had a lot going on - one "distraction" actually had me in Atlanta, believe it or not, quite a bit! But my biggest accomplishment was clocking over 80 episodes of my OTHER podcast,...

14. DeShawn Lavar Snow
Send a text Who's ready for Atlanta??? I sure am... Some of the "best" Housewives over the years have come out of this franchise and I'm excited to begin "introducing" the ones who made up the cast of Season 1. On today's episode, we are covering DeShawn Snow - wife of NBA player, Eric Snow. We...

13. LuAnn Nadeau de Lesseps
Send a text In this episode, we're wrapping up our last housewife to be introduced from Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York. That is the one and only Countess... LuAnn de Lesseps! In 2018, she was voted the #1 Housewife (out of 46 that were on screen that year) by TV Guide; however, many…

12. Alex McCord
Send a text Happy 2024 Everyone! It's already been an exciting (you could call it that) adventure for me, just in the first two weeks of the new year, but luckily, I have all of you and this fun little project to return to after many weeks away. Today, we're going to talk about our No. 12...

11. Bethenny Frankel
Send a text She's the Queen "B" of Reality TV AND one of the first people to make millions off of it! Of course, we're talking about Bethenny Frankel. As we continue with Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York, we see how the now Entrepreneur, Author, Podcaster and YouTuber started out as a...

10. Jill (Kamen) Zarin
Send a text Surprise! (Insert strong NY accent lol) It’s the 10th housewife in our project, the OG of the R-H-O-N-Y: Jill Zarin! This one was fun, because Jill is always just so full of life and seeing her back in Episode 1 of Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York, brought back a lot of…

9. Ramona (Mazur) Singer
Send a text After covering housewives from the first few seasons of Orange County, we are now ready to start with New York! Leading the pack is the OG of RHONY: Ramona Singer, aka the "Singer Stinger!" We'll talk about her awkward early years on the show and pull out a few "grammar police"…

8. Quinn Fry
Send a text She may have only appeared on the Real Housewives of Orange County for one season, but our eighth housewife sure was... uh... unique! Today, we'll RE-introduce Quinn Fry, as well as do a "highlight reel" from Season 3, Episode 2 to Episode 8. (Quinn arrives in Episode 6.) We'll talk...

7. Tamra "T-Wad" Barney Judge
Send a text On this episode of the Real Charm Podcast, we meet our seventh OC housewife: Tamra Judge. There's a lot to unpack with this one and, honestly, it was the hardest episode yet for me to do. In meeting Tamra, we also have to revisit all of the fights she's initiated with other cast…

6. Tammy Knickerbocker
Send a text On this episode, we go back and meet the housewife with one of the coolest last names... Tammy Knickerbocker! We also do a full highlight reel, connecting the finale episode from Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Orange County to the end of Season 2. Noted: I also re-recorded the...

5. Lauri (Waring) Peterson
Send a text It’s time to meet our 5th and final housewife from Season 1 of the Real Housewives of Orange County: Lauri Peterson! This episode is also unique because it ties in the first four housewives then fills in the gaps before we meet our next housewife in Season 2. This is a BIG task, as…

4. Vicki Gunvalson
Send a text She's the OG of the OC! It's our 4th Housewife introduction, though she needs no introduction. It's Victoria Steinmetz, a.ka. Vicki Gunvalson! Vicki has been the longest running housewife, with 14 seasons under her belt and she's STILL going, despite taking a couple of years off then...

3. Kimberly Bryant
Send a text On today's episode, we'll reintroduce ourselves to Kimberly Bryant, who was on the Real Housewives of OC, Season 1. After leaving the show - and Orange County - at the start of Season 2, there was much speculation as to what happened to her. Is she still in Chicago? Is she still…

2. Jo (De La Rosa) Gray
Send a text In episode 2, we continue meeting the Orange County Housewives by focusing in on the entrance of Jo De La Rosa! This fun, naive, soon-to-be-housewife was the first to push back on the idea of becoming a "lady of leisure" and gave Slade Smiley a run for his money (that is, while he had...

1. Jeana "Tomasina” Keough
Send a text We kick off our first full-length episode of our new podcast with the ORIGINAL OC Jeana (not the lovely Gina we see in current episodes) - and that is Jeana Keough, AKA Jeana Tomasina. It's still unclear whether it was Jeana who caught the eye of Bravo to pick up the "ladies behind…

A Real Charm Introduction
Send a text Where were you when the very first episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County aired in 2006? Were you an actual housewife yourself? Were you napping in a crib? What about when Southern Charm debuted back in 2014? Like most shows that have been running for many years, you may be...
