So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey

TUESDAY! I am over the moon to have today's guest with us. I've been talking about her new book Cue The Sun! The Inventionf Reality TV for the past month so it was an honor to have the author Emily Nussbaum (@emilynussbaum) on to talk about it! Emily is a staff writer for The New Yorker and I have been a fan of her writing for a long time. I severely geeked out. We talked the beginning of reality tv and so many of the shows we've watched thru the decades. GO READ THIS BOOK https://a.co/d/hOGITJA! Talk to you guys on Wednesday. Have a great day!

Also, just released the VPR Season 1 Episode 3 recap exclusively over on Patreon so go check it out if you want to hear me lose my mind talking about Jax and Stassi! https://www.patreon.com/sobaditsgood

Also, we have an all new segment we are starting soon called ASK RYAN-"For the last 5 years of doing this podcast, I get hundreds of emails and DM's asking for life advice and since I'm the expert on life, love, and financial advice, Team So Bad It's Good created a new segment called "ASK RYAN". So if you'd like FREE advice from the Bad Boy of podcasts, email your question to [e-mail] or call and leave a voicemail at area code 323-425-9542. I’m not an expert at any of these things but let’s try it. Disclaimer: These calls and emails WILL be played and read on the podcast and YouTube channel mainly so we can hear how bad your life is and feel good about our own lives. I look forward to hearing from you!! Also, in full transparency i have failed miserably at life, love and finances so please bear that in mind! YAY!
