About this episode
Jolenta profiles Patricia Altschul as a representation of the Magi archetype in reality TV.
Southern Charm isn’t just the name of a reality show, it’s a skillset. A skillset that Patricia Altschul thinks she’s the master of. That’s why she’s the perfect example of the Magi archetype. This week Jolenta profiles this complicated archetype and examines how it shows up in reality TV.
