Summary

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe! In season 3, episode 9, we're meeting another one of the girls' family members as Rose's cousin Sven pops by Miami for a visit. "Little" Sven turns out to be a tall, handsome drink of water, though, and - to no one's surprise - catches Blanche's eye. Sven gets caught up in Blanche's ploy to make one of her other beaus jealous, but shenanigans ensue when Sven begins to take her advances a touch too seriously.

Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. All of our sources can be found on our website. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive
