Three seasons in, Southern Hospitality has truly hit its stride, and the woman behind the Republic empire, Leva Bonaparte, is in the studio to mention it all. She and Dylan talk about the whirlwind experience of being on two shows airing at the same time, and why people are connecting so strongly with the beautiful mess of Southern Hospitality. They also discuss the importance of the show’s queer storylines, and the surprising outcome of TJ and Joe Bradley’s difficult conversation. Later, Leva weighs in on Austen and Craig’s issues on this season of Southern Charm, and why you’ll never see her thirsting for screen time.
