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 this Season 3, Episode 21, Dorothy and Blanche go off the deep end after reading the most unflattering things about themselves in Rose's diary! Meanwhile, Sophia is dating Mickey Rooney... er, I mean Rocco... who may have secrets in his shopping cart (and where did he get a shopping cart in the first place?!?!)

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
