Picture it: The lanai, present day. We're sitting down with a slice of cheesecake and two brilliant guests who have given our favorite show the academic treatment it so richly deserves.

This week, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by authors Taylor Cole Miller and Alfred L. Martin Jr. to discuss their fantastic new book, The Golden Girls: Tales From the Lanai.

While we've always known the show was smart, funny, and ahead of its time, Taylor and Alfred have put on their scholarly glasses to explore the deeper layers of what makes The Golden Girls a cultural and social juggernaut. We dive into their book's analysis of the show's treatment of chosen family, its groundbreaking portrayal of women and aging, its nuanced (and sometimes not-so-nuanced) approach to race and LGBTQ+ issues, and its enduring legacy in the 21st century.

Join us for a fascinating conversation that goes beyond the witty one-liners to unpack the genius, the politics, and the heart of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. It’s a chat that proves these four women weren't just comedy icons—they were revolutionaries.

Picture it: September 1985. A new sitcom about four older women living together in Miami premieres, and television is changed forever. Forty years later, The Golden Girls is more beloved than ever. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott is celebrating this landmark anniversary with a very special guest, Stan Zimmerman, who was in the writers' room during the iconic first season. Stan takes us back to the beginning, sharing stories about the magic of Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty, and why the show’s themes of love, friendship, and chosen family resonate so deeply four decades later. Grab a slice of cheesecake and join us on the lanai for this unforgettable conversation. 

This episode was originally published to Newsweek's Parting Shot Podcast.
