People say that reality TV is the downfall of society.

It's mindless, shallow, trash.

But if it's such garbage, why do we love it so much?

Why does watching a real housewife get arrested kind of hit like a Greek tragedy?

Why is Bachelor in Paradise basically a Shakespearean comedy just with more spray tans and lash extensions?

I have a new podcast for you that answers these questions and more.

I'm Jolenta Greenberg, comedian, pop culture critic, and host of Hot Masterpiece Theater,

the podcast that treats reality TV like serious art.

Each week, we'll deep dive into what makes reality television so juicy.

The classic storylines, the larger-than-life characters,

the unwritten rules behind the drama. And I'll be joined by smart, funny guests like comedians

Chelsea Devontes and Eric Williams to break down their favorite iconic reality TV scenes.

At Hot Masterpiece Theater, we believe that reality TV isn't ruining culture.

It is culture.
