Summary

CHEESECAKES! COME SEE PATRICK ON TOUR! We're off for the July 4th holiday this week, but wanted to share one of our favorite early episodes - enjoy! 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.
