Reality TV may seem like a constant fixture on our screens these days whether it be Love Island, Selling Sunset or Traitors... 

But, back in the early 2000’s, it still seemed somewhat of a novelty.  

Tanya Sweeney, Columnist with the Irish Independent was looking back at some reality TV from 2001 and she was not impressed. 

She joins guest host Karen Koster to discuss. 

Also joining are Pamela Laird, CEO and founder of Maxi Loves and former ‘Apprentice’ candidate and Eric Roberts, who took part in ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’.
