Harsh Reality: The Story of Miriam Rivera
Audible OriginalIt was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be. But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact... more

This series is so well done. I feel they really delve into this topic, take all sides into consideration (while of course upholding Miriam’s dignity), and engage deeply. I could not stop listening to this. It’s been a long time since I binged a podcast.

This broke my heart. Miriam just wanted to be loved for who she is. It’s gross that people try to make money off her love and hope. Race thank you for sharing this and your narration was amazing.

As an English woman with different but relateable hard times I can relate to some of Miriam's struggles and shattered dreams/ideologies. It has very much made me come a lot closer to und... more
