She's Speaking with Emily Hanks

It's another mega-sized 2-hour recap show for you guys! Because I missed last week, Taria was a trooper and recapped both Episodes 9 and 10 with me! I had to bring in reinforcements to help me decide how I feel on Jersey. And after a 2 hour recording session... I still don't know where I stand! One thing I do know for sure is that Jackie is incredibly brave for sharing her eating disorder journey...

I am coming to you live from Spring Break in Florida! And by Spring Break, I mean Vero Beach, Florida. And by Vero Beach, Florida I mean a retirement community where I am taking care of my 99 year old grandmother :) All that to say that my wifi connection is spotty, so the quality of this podcast is not my best work. But nothing will stop the pod! Thank you to Pia and Curtis for being such good sp...

I'm pulling a Bravo move and sneaking in a Kandi and the Gang recap inside a Summer House recap. Even if I recruit 1 new viewer, it was worth it! If you have worked in a restaurant, you will connect to this show! It is not like VPR, where we never saw any authentic operational scenes. Kandi and the Gang gives us real restaurant dynamics, and the cast is stellar! We also have a new guest on the pod...

My friend Pia is back to help me dissect that utterly insane episode of Summer House! She is fully Team Lindsay, and I am a bit more critical of our chaos queen. It is interesting to get 2 different perspectives on such a polarizing situation in the Bravoverse! I recap that total filler RHONJ episode, I HATE WHEN THEY DO THAT!! I explain the ways they could have fit in more of the good stuff rathe...

We can finally put that dreadful RHOSLC reunion to bed. Goodnight! Sweet dreams! Go away...  No Summer House this week so I got off easy (I'll take it!). I get into RHONJ and discuss my very real concerns regarding Louie's love bombing and Teresa's inability to see it. I also cover Jennifer's journey through reopening a 10-year-old wound that is Bill's affair, and how lucky we are that we get such...

Mattie is one of my first friends on IG!! She's also a huge Euphoria fan, so therefore the perfect choice to discuss that Finale. We really focused on what we wish we had gotten more of from the LAST EPISODE FOR 2 YEARS! The audacity of Sam Levinson! He left so many holes! So many questions! Mattie and I do not hold back :) PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :) FOLLOW ME ON I...

Nyemade, That African Butterfly, joins me to talk about that EPIC Summer House episode. We break down the Lindsay/Ciara/Austen triangle, discuss our frustrations with Amanda (yes, Amanda), and how we hope Lindsay got some birthday booty. I then recap RHOSLC, and I do NOT hold back on Heather. Right before I sat down to record, I saw some receipts that changed my whole perspective on the group dyna...

I have TikTok stars on the pod today! Lauren @thezenblonde and John @itsjohnjoseph are here to share their DIFFERENT (than mine) opinions on RHONJ and RHOSLC! We talk about Housewife swapping between franchises, Teresa gaslighting the viewers, and John breaks my heart over his hatred of Lisa Barlow. I also recap Summer House and part one of the Miami Reunion. I get into Kyle and Amanda, Larsa's "r...

Donny is watching The Office FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE!! I couldn't believe it, so I had to have him on to share his thoughts. Bingeing the series fresh in 2022 is a whole different experience than what I had. I am happy to report that Donny hates Pam too :) We go on some fun TV tangents, like why we both dislike reboots, and which shows had the best series finales. Just a fun bonus episode w...

In lieu of a full recap episode, my friend Diana Gebbia joins me to do a light State of the Union on RHOM, RHOSLC, RHONJ, and Summer House. We discuss how Kyle and Amanda could absolutely divorce and still maintain a good working relationship. We would get the opportunity to watch a friend group navigate such a big split. This is our official pitch to both Bravo and Kymanda :) PLEASE RATE, REVIEW,...

I am finally revisiting my classic VPR recap series! I last left you on Season 2 Episode 11, and I am picking it back up with my friend Pia for a double episode!

How amazing was that Summer House episode?? As a white woman, I know that I can't understand where Mya and Ciara are coming from. So I brought back my good friend, Pia, a beautiful black woman, to share her thoughts and experience. I also struggle to figure out my stance on RHONJ. It's a tricky little beast and I need to see more before I can land on my decision. Oh and I guess I recap RHOM.... bu...

Television guru, Kaya Wilson from Bravo While Black, is here to talk Euphoria and Succession! She's a Kendall girl, I'm a Roman fan, but we both agree that Shiv is the worst choice to run the company. Kaya knows all the Euphoria tea, and she told me about the off-camera hookups that caused an entire rewrite for 3 characters in season 2! ENJOY THIS BONUS EPISODE! xx, Em FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, FB...

Chelsea is here to recap SLC! We discuss the Dark Comedy editing in that opening scene, and how Lisa Barlow is our problematic queen. She spills her current Top 5 Housewives and gives a bit of history on her success in the Bravoverse!  Before we get into that, you have to sit through a solo recap of RHOM, Summer House, and RHONJ.  If you like what you hear, please RATE, REVIEW, & SUBSCRIBE!

Everyone's deep dive QUEEN is here to discuss current events in the Bravoverse. She's one of the smartest humans I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and her take on the Jennie/Bravo of it all is eloquent and eye-opening. We also get into Erika and her precious jewels, the big moment on The Real that got everyone talking, and Teresa's new man and why he may not be as bad as we all think! If you...

My friend Pia joins me again to recap Summer House and RHONJ! I solo recap RHOM and RHOSLC and explain why I’m abandoning RHOC midseason.

I get a little help from my friends this time! The hotties from Know That Pod, Donny and Quin, stop by for a little Summer House//SLC discussion. I touch ever so lightly on Miami, because (let's face it) this week's episode was all filler. Then my good friend Pia joins me for a VPR reunion recap! I hope you enjoy! Please share with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe! If you want to go the ext...

The Jennie FB posts, the interview with Mary's mom, finding out my favorite housewives are Trump supporters!!! It's been a lot. After the hot topics, I recap the latest episodes of RHOC, VPR, RHOM, RHOSLC, and Summer House. I've added Timestamps below so you can skip to your favorite shows without the stuff in between :) Keep an eye on my IG stories because I'm throwing up polls and Ask Me Anythin...

Formerly Known As "She's Startin"! NEW NAME, SAME CHICK! You guys, I had so much fun recapping Winter House! I will definitely recap the remaining 2 episodes of the season! I can't wait for the next round of drunken debauchery and petty heartbreaks! ENJOY!  DISCLAIMER: I use the term "slave labor" twice and I CRINGED at myself in the playback. I should never ever jokingly use that term EVER! I did...

Season 2 Premiere! That sounds so fun and important, doesn't it? I discuss my mental health struggles this week, so trigger warning for anyone who has a tough time with that kinda talk.

This is the season one finale of She's Startin!
