Summary
In this episode we talk to Oliver Oertel about his documentary DancingDADS which chronicles 15 dads, himself included, trying to learn a dance routine to perform at their daughters' dance recital, not because they love to dance, but because they love their daughters. This is a heartwarming film that everyone will enjoy. Oliver is also a story producer and editor who has worked on many reality tv shows that we all know and love and he gives us a look behind the curtain at how these shows are made.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the Psych Legal Pop podcast. This is a podcast where we talk about |
| 0:07.6 | popular culture through the lens of an attorney and a therapist. I'm the therapist, Tess Brigham. |
| 0:12.5 | And normally Brooke would chime in right now and say that she's Brooke Brigham, the attorney. |
| 0:17.7 | But we actually, this episode I'm super excited for because we interviewed a long-time |
| 0:26.5 | friend of mine that I knew back in my Hollywood days. |
| 0:31.0 | His wife and I work together. |
| 0:33.2 | His name's Oliver Ortele. |
| 0:35.4 | And Oliver is, he's a veteran reality TV producer, having worked on such well-known shows as |
| 0:41.8 | House Hunters, Iron Chef America, The Little Couple, I Am Jazz, among others. |
| 0:46.2 | He's tackled nearly every genre and reality TV, from makeover shows and competition shows |
| 0:51.4 | to real estate, home renovation, follow docs and docu soaps. |
| 0:55.9 | With a background in comedy, theater, and independent film, he has made several short |
| 0:59.9 | films and web series. Most recently, his documentary, Dancing Dads, has begun streaming on |
| 1:04.8 | Amazon and Google Play. So Oliver has a long history of working on reality shows like Smothered and Little People Big World and I Am Jazz on the TLC Network. |
| 1:19.8 | So we thought it would be a lot of fun to have them come on the show and talk about just sort of what it's like to create these shows, to be someone who |
| 1:29.5 | works on these shows, you know, what does it really take to, uh, to put together a show? As a sister |
| 1:36.0 | wives fan, you know, we complain a lot about how long it takes them to come up with a new season, |
| 1:41.8 | right? But after talking to Oliver, it's, it's, you get a real sense and an understanding of why it takes so long. |
| 1:47.4 | So hopefully you enjoy the interview. |
| 1:50.4 | Thanks so much. |
| 1:51.5 | Bye. |
| 1:52.2 | Welcome to the show, Oliver. |
