Welcome to Gabbing with Gibb.

I'm so, so, so excited to finally be able to say that, to finally have this out into the world after months of prep and scheduling and designing and planning.

The day is finally here, and I could not be more thrilled with the support I received so far.

It's been months since I last interviewed Sony from Bravo, which is something I spent years doing and it's been kind of weird not doing it since the spring. You know, I've obviously kept up with all the shows and continue to tweet too many of my thoughts about them all. But I've missed having these conversations. And having these one-on-one conversations with the people we watch on our TVs every week is not just something that I feel so lucky to be able to do, but it's just something I'm so happy to be able to continue to do going forward. You know, I don't just like to ask my burning questions that I have for them, but I also do try to go deeper. I try to have real conversations with these people. It's not just about checking off, you know, questions about the latest headlines or the latest happenings on their shows.

It's about having a really great conversation in an interview that I hope answers some of your

questions, but also helps to get you to know the person better. For all that you can expect from

the show, go listen to that short trailer episode before this in your podcast feed at some point. Not now.

Continue with this one. But just know that there will be two episodes of Gabbing with Give

every week, one interview usually on Tuesdays, and one pop culture discussion episode usually on

Fridays. Sometimes the interview will be Bravo. A lot of the times, they'll be reality stars,

and sometimes they'll just be other notable figures that I want to have on. And the discussion episodes will give me a chance to

bring on friends and peers in the media to talk about something specific in pop culture,

which may not be about Bravo or reality TV or something else. It's not a traditional interview.

It's just sort of a back-and-forth conversation about something a little bit more specific.

Our first episode of that kind, for example, will be all about Taylor Swift's year.

And I have on a really great Taylor Swift expert that I know people love, which I'm really excited about.

But for today's inaugural episode, I wanted to book somebody from Bravo, preferably somebody on one of the many shows,

either currently airing or about to be airing.

And I wanted it to be someone who knows how to make a splash.

And this person definitely knows how to make a splash.
