You've finally made it to your couch with a glass of wine and pick up your remote. What are you turning on? Maybe it's a show with a character you love to hate. Maybe it's a storyline that feels just like your life, or the life you wish you had. Maybe it's a theme song stuck in your head, or a catchphrase you still quote. That's comfort TV.
The award-winning podcast, Consider This for Comfort, is your guide to that world and what it says about our society and culture. This is where the comfort show you never knew you needed meets new perspectives on the biggest cultural topics we're all wrestling with right now.
Raised by MTV and West African immigrants, Eteng Ettah sits down with creatives, writers and more to recommend and break down TV and culture for you.
Season 5 episodes air every Wednesday this fall.
We're closing out Season 5 with a UPN classic! Wah-De Dennis (Founder and CMO of Kulaborative Works) returns to Consider This For Comfort to revisit Girlfriends, the iconic sitcom that gave us so much to say about Black womanhood, friendship, and everything in between.
Wah-De and Eteng unpack the show's nuanced portrayal of Black women's friendships, why some of its funniest moments come from class differences, and how Girlfriends still offers a sharp lens on the business of Black beauty today. From who gets to define beauty standards to how brands market to Black women—and whether that marketing actually serves us—we explore what's changed, what hasn't, and where the beauty industry still needs to grow.

Consider [Real Housewives] For Comfort
From messy reads, iconic confessionals, and explosive reunions to the personal sacrifices women "of a certain age" make for fame, Nichole Hill (Our Ancestors Were Messy) joins Eteng to break down the cultural phenomenon that is Real Housewives. Together, we explore why Bravo's hit reality TV franchise keeps audiences hooked, how the Housewives formula is just like sports, and what the show reveals about fame, friendship, and the business of reality television.
Plus: why watching the Housewives may be one of the most honest ways we engage with entertainment. And, of course, the iconic question: "Were you all doing cocaine in the bathroom?"

Consider [Pretty Little Liars] For Comfort
Who was the best "A"? And why do texts have the power to ruin everything?
Yessi Sanchez, podcast host (No Map Included) and co-founder of Artak Pictures, joins Eteng to revisit Pretty Little Liars. Growing up between cultures, Yessi watched the teen drama as a window into the American high school experience. We get into secrets, shared trauma, and why everything feels so high-stakes in high school.
Plus: We also chat about the state of teen and young adult television today and how comfort shows open the door to much-needed conversations about identity, friendship, growing up and so much more.
