Hello everyone! After a much needed week off, we’re compensating with a nice long, controversial talk with one of the more infamous stars of Cycle 15 of The Bachelorette, Garrett Powell! This week, we spoke openly with Garrett about his time on The Bachelorette (lots of great behind-the-scenes stories in here!), his love of sports as a golf pro and a Mississippi State alum (maybe competitive dating and golf have something in common?), and the internet machine’s manifestation of his deep-seeded conservative values as a public figure (but in a productive, educational way). We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and look forward to continuing the conversation next week!

[This podcast has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.]

UNDER FURTHER REVIEW: We are extremely interested in "shadow banning," and would love to hear from you all about your experiences with the concept, which is highly debated in the current landscape of fact-checking/censorship. We discuss the concept in this episode, admittedly, without much personal experience with it as journalists. We'll continue to review this conversation, but welcome any input via DM on our social media platforms, or email.
