The Real Charm Podcast
On the Real Charm Podcast, we go back in time and meet the cast members from all cities of the Real Housewives franchise, as well as Southern Charm - in the order in which they were introduced to us.
We’ll discuss how they presented themselves on the show, how they interacted with their peers and, of course, where they are now.
Join Sara Garrison, former newspaper correspondent and original Housewives viewer, as she follows her own formula to introduce these "characters," as well as share spoiler alerts and provide updates from the view of 2023.
A must-follow for all fans of Real Housewives and Southern Charm, past and present!
