  • Smart and funny!

    I love this unique take on recapping Bach franchise shows—different from anything else in the pod universe. Anne-Marie’s academic analysis, placing these seasons in their historical context, is fascinating, and Carrie’s clever comedy quips often make laugh out loud. Highly recommend this duo and their pod!

  • Funny and Smart

    This podcast is the perfect mix of humor and history. I am a current bachelor watcher who hasn’t seen many older seasons, but Carrie and AnneMarie paint a great picture of seasons with insight and humor. I love the nicknames they give the contestants (Jesse Broadway), they’ve made me laugh out loud multiple times, and made me look at how I would have thought of the show at the time. The podcast has a great concept and is well organized and thought through, while still making it fun. Carrie, ne... more

  • Awesome Podcast Concept!

    As an OG Bachelor fan, I love this concept so much! Most Bachelor podcast hosts are unfamiliar with any season prior to 2015-ish, so this is such a diamond in the rough. It is fascinating to re-hear some of the dialogue and reactions and reconsider my own perspective through a modern lens. Was thrilled to find this!

    I for one love how racist you are against white people: we deserve it. This show is fantastic and I’ve listened to most episodes twice now. A joy of a podcast!
