Summary

WELCOME TO EPISODE 13 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe! Rose has a new love interest and his name is Dr. Jonathan Newman. She’s been out with him six times in the last three weeks and Blanche and Dorothy are dying to meet him. Shenanigans ensue when Blanche invites Dr. Newman to the house for dinner without asking Rose if it’s okay. When Dr. Newman arrives, he’s… not exactly what Blanche and Dorothy were expecting. For this week’s deep dive Patrick is telling us all about the groundbreaking play Torch Song Trilogy by Harvey Fierstein. He goes deep on the surprising story of how the show came to be, how it was a major cultural force in changing the perception of gay people, and how the casting of Estelle Getty led to her landing the role of Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls. Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. Visit our website for a full list of sources.
