Slate Podcasts
About this episode

It’s our first Golden Bachelor recap episode! Join Slate senior producer Cheyna Roth and Laura Stassi, host of the Dating While Grey podcast as they unpack Gerry Turner’s journey to find love. They discuss who had the cringiest entrance, whether Gerry is really ready for love (and the drama), and just how ageist some parts of the show are. 

 

Podcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Daisy Rosario and Alicia Montgomery.
