    Welcome aboard the most dramatic detox yet! This week, we dive overboard into the wild waters of reality TV. From Below Deck to Real Housewives, we’re spilling the unscripted tea on who’s leading, who’s losing it, and who’s lurking behind the scenes pulling the strings (cough Andy Cohen cough).
    We’ll break down the birth of reality television, the boss dynamics you didn’t know you were watching, and the shady producer tricks that keep the chaos rolling—often at the expense of the cast’s mental health. Spoiler alert: when the cameras stop rolling, the manipulation doesn’t.
    Whether you're a Bravo-holic or a casual hate-watcher, this episode is your backstage pass to the toxic power plays behind your favorite guilty pleasures.

  • Toxic Work Throwback: The Radium Girls
    2025/04/08

    Send us a text

    This episode of Bad Boss Detox honors the legacy of the Radium Girls—young women hired in the 1910s to paint luminous watch dials with radioactive paint, told it was safe, even healthy, to ingest. What followed was a devastating trail of illness, corporate denial, and one of the most heartbreaking workplace cover-ups in history.

    We’ll explore how these women, many still in their teens, were gaslit by employers who prioritized profit over human life.

    This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning. Because the same patterns of denial, dismissal, and dehumanization still echo in toxic workplaces today.

    TRIGGER WARNINGS: Misogyny, sexual shaming, workplace abuse, radioactive poisoning, dental trauma, cancer, death
