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 8, Stan's brother, Ted, has come to town and... wait a second, is he charming? Blanche moves in on him the second she discovers that he's a neurosurgeon, but it turns out he only has eyes for Dorothy (BECAUSE. DOT. CAN. GET. IT!). Shenanigans immediately ensue when both Stan and Blanche become furious at discovering this budding romance. Oh, and Rose has insomnia. Because... Rose.

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
