Your Cup of Joy with Ariana Joy Christie

From Reality TV Obsession to Podcasting: The Story Behind Our ‘Friend Of’ Podcast with Renee Reina

Ariana Joy Christie Episode 38

In this week’s episode of Your Cup of Joy, I’m joined by Renee Reina, host of The Mom Room Podcast, for a very special crossover episode! But this isn’t just any conversation, this is the beginning of something brand new.

If you’ve ever bonded over reality TV drama, sent memes back and forth about your favorite shows, or found comfort in watching other people’s chaos unfold on screen, you’re going to love this one. Renee and I dive into our deep-rooted love for reality TV: how it started, why it became such a lifeline during motherhood, and the way it’s evolved into something even bigger.

We also share the hilarious behind-the-scenes story of how we first met, the surreal moment that led to us launching our newest passion project, and how an accidental ghosting incident turned into a story for the books. Plus, we break down the unique way reality TV gives us a healthy outlet for gossip, entertainment, and a much-needed escape from the daily grind.

And the best part? We’re taking this love for reality TV to the next level. Tune in for all the details about our brand-new podcast, Friend Of, where we’ll be serving up the latest reality TV news, cast updates, and deep dives into the most binge-worthy shows.

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “just one more episode” or analyzing every little detail of a reunion special, you won’t want to miss it!
