Our Editor's Take

This series puts courtroom drama onto the podcast stage. Hosted by real-life attorneys Cesie and Angela, The Bravo Docket examines the lawsuits of reality TV stars. As well as practicing law, both hosts are fans of reality TV shows such as Below Deck and Real Housewives of New York. Together, the lawyers search for details from different court cases featuring reality stars. They go through witness statements. And they give the reported timelines from each side of the story. And, as expected, there's more than a bit of drama with these court cases.

One case that gets full coverage is that of Jennifer Shah. Jennifer is the TV star of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. She's charged with conspiring to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Cessie and Angela start pre-trial and follow every stage of her sentencing. Along the way, they explain all the legal terms and answer top questions listeners may have. As well as listing her charges, they examine Jen's arguments to share her story.

Although the show title mentions Bravo TV, this show talks about more than the TV network. The Bravo Docket talks about Hollywood actors. The hosts examine the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. In this episode, they discuss how the couple met and detail their backgrounds. Both actors had several run-ins with the law, starting when Depp trashed a hotel room with Kate Moss. These previous charges set the scene for an explosive court case. With accusations on both sides, there's much to explore.

Cessie and Angela also talk about legal issues in other areas of TV. In the episode "Dance Mom to Dance Con," the two attorneys discuss the law for child reality TV stars. The idea comes from a listener who wants them to examine the case of fraudster Abby Lee Miller. The pair describe the case as a "hot mess." Thanks to them, everything gets explained. It is easy to follow. It's this approach to each case that makes the podcast so compelling. As the drama unfolds, each listener can follow the drama.
