Today’s special bonus episode features yours truly being interviewed about my adventures in Italian reality tv land by Andrew Niklas, a friend, collaborator, filmmaker, and editor of this podcast.
As many of you already know, I was cast on an Italian reality tv show, Best Weekend, produced by Banijay Italia, that aired last month here in Italy on a major network, NOVE. lt is currently streaming on their website for free.
In this q&a, Andrew and I speak about what was going on behind the scenes, how I was selected, what I was feeling leading up to filming, what I was expecting, and what really happened once we began shooting.
I also muse on my fellow contestants, our celebrity host, Francesco Panella, the format of the show, and just how little I knew and know about the wonderful world of reality television. Finally, I share how profoundly the experience impacted me and how surprised I was by and unprepared for the range of emotions that stepping so far outside of my comfort zone stirred up in me.
