  • The only The Bachelor podcast I listen to!

    Shh... Don't tell anyone, but I'm a closet reality tv junkie! So, it's been a delight to find this podcast, and to get the opportunity to dissect The Bachelor (and discover some new tv shows whilst I'm at it!). I love the casual conversations, and the feeling that I'm just hanging out with some friends. Would definitely recommend!
