Berning Down the Summer House with Hannah Berner

This week, Scheana is answering your listener questions and catching you up on a holiday season that was equal parts magical and chaotic — including a hit-and-run, a broken window, two surgeries, and a holiday that is still not over yet for the Davies household (darn those naughty elves). Scheana reflects on some of her favorite VPR moments, clears up some long-standing misconceptions, and opens up about what stepping away from reality TV has taught her. She also dishes on finding (and setting) boundaries, seasoned vs seasonal friendships, mental health, and why her healing era is her happiest one yet. She answers your questions about motherhood, internet trolls, and what the future may hold — including when you might see her back on your screens again. Tune in to find out!

Must-Have Merkins, Milk Meltdowns & Merry MayhemScheana and Kiki close out 2025 with equal parts heartbreak and humor, unpacking the year’s biggest pop culture moments — from Kim Kardashian’s merkins and Katy Perry’s space performance to the Coldplay kiss-cam couple, KPop Demon Hunters’ domination, and the tragic events occurring this week with the mass shootings at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration and Brown University, along with the heartbreaking loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. They also tackle lighter chaos: missing nails, the holiday traditions they’re breaking this year, Nick Viall’s plane-seat fiasco, and whether lying about Santa will inevitably mess up your kid. Scheana opens up about one of her toughest parenting moments yet before the duo dives into the eeriness of kids having paranormal experiences “before the veil lifts.” A heartfelt, hilarious, and perfectly chaotic wrap-up to an unforgettable year.

This week, Scheana and Brock sit down with Heather Gay to unpack her powerful new docuseries Surviving Mormonism. Heather shares how the project came to life, how being a “Bad Mormon” has impacted her business and personal relationships, and the legal threats she’s faced—even from within her own family. She and Brock compare their experiences growing up in the Church, from tithing while living below the poverty line to the pressure of securing a bishop’s approval just to get into BYU (including why Brock’s bishop refused). They dig into why so many former members describe the institution as fear-based and silencing, and they might have even cracked the code for why Mormons make such great reality TV stars! Plus, Scheana and Heather dive into the RHOSLC questions fans are dying to have answered: Will we ever get clarity on the infamous plane incident? Does Lisa Barlow actually have Global Entry? And now that Jen Shah is out of prison, is Heather open to reconnecting? Tune in for truth, humor, healing — and Heather at her most candid.

This week, Scheana and Kiki Monique are back in the studio—and truly all over the place. They react to a study suggesting straight men may be gayer than they let on, weigh in on the debate around men dominating female spaces, unpack golden-child dynamics, pet cloning, hookup culture, and the wild phenomenon of fans diagnosing medical conditions from reality TV. Kiki opens up about her own journey with sexual fluidity, while Scheana shares a spicy story she left out of her book… Plus: why has Scheana seen Wicked: For Good three times? Which SLOMW cast member is Larry King’s sister-in-law? And which body part is actually the best predictor of, ahem, male anatomy size (spoiler: it’s not feet)? Tune in to find out!

This week, Chanel Ayan joins Scheana for a conversation that is equal parts glam, grounded, and absolutely unhinged in the best way. They dish on some of Chanel’s most viral moments from BravoCon (like accidentally matchmaking Paige DeSorbo with one of ex Craig’s Southern Charm cast members), and she proves once again why she’s reality TV gold. The two also get real about the side of Chanel the world doesn’t always see — the young mom who battled postpartum depression, the loyal friend who shows up when it matters, and the entrepreneur whose beauty brand has even caught the attention of Anna Wintour. Of course, there’s plenty of Bravo tea: Chanel’s take on the Tamra/Katie drama, Sonja Morgan confusing her for Kiki Barth, and what Scheana’s ex-husband really thinks about her still using his last name. They dive into the future of “Real Housewives of Dubai” (is it coming back?!), PLUS the other Housewives franchise that asked Chanel to film. And which Bravo star does she reveal is the hardest to get along with? Tune in to find out!

This week, Scheana and Kiki Monique return from BravoCon with the ultimate recap. Scheana breaks down which beefs were squashed, which ones were addressed, and why Tamra Judge’s perplexing behavior has her concerned. From hallway trauma-dumps to surviving the weekend on IV drips and nap strategy, the two spill all the behind-the-scenes chaos.They also get into LVP’s comments about Scheana’s book, the DeuxMoi blind item linking her to a brawl with a Southern Charm star, a confrontation in the glam room, Adriana’s onstage meltdown during the RHOM panel that Kiki moderated, and Kathy Hilton being unintentionally iconic. Plus, why was Shep yelling in the hotel bar, what was going on between Lindsay Hubbard and Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend Victoria, unexpected new friendships, and Kiki’s appeal for Mary Cosby to unblock her…but why did she get blocked in the first place?

This week, Krystina Arielle is back in the studio with Scheana discussing everything from who they are excited to see at BravoCon to bedroom compatibility. Scheana shares how Brock tore his Achilles pushing a truck by himself (“he thinks he’s Thor”) and will be hobbling (or wheeled) around the convention center this year. They also dive into the latest RHONJ tea, discussing which cast members might be returning, plus what psychics got wrong about Kim Kardashian’s Bar Exam. The two get real about parenting meltdowns, emotional regulation, and why a child’s breakdown can actually mean you’re doing something right, not wrong. Then things take a spicy turn as they unpack Haley Kalil’s viral confession about her ex’s, uh, superhuman proportions—and why bigger isn’t always better. It’s the perfect blend of Bravo gossip, humor, and heart. Tune in!

This week, Scheana sits down with RHONY star, entrepreneur, and author Erin Lichy for a raw and relatable conversation about love, accountability, and why sometimes the messiest chapters make the best stories. Fresh off the success of her book She’s a Host: An Unbuttoned Cookbook for Elegant Entertaining, Erin shares what inspired her passion for hosting — and why she might think twice before writing another one. She also opens up about when cameras could start rolling again for the new season of RHONY, the tension between the OG and reboot casts (and which former Housewife she’d actually welcome back), and why her former costar Brynn blocked her on social media. Scheana and Erin dive deep into marriage, infidelity, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal — with Scheana sharing her own experience navigating Brock’s affair. The two swap stories about NYC nightlife, motherhood, and how Erin’s mezcal brand, Mezcalum, is shaking things up. Tune in!
