July 18, 2023 Bachelorette 20ep4: Trauma bonding?
In this podcast episode, we speculate on whether bungee jumping is trauma bonding (spoiler alert: it isn't), then talk a bit about OceanGate and the horrors that unfolded there. We then talk about Brayden for a while and whether he was coming back (spoiler alert: he was). What is Co-host Craig's pet peeve this week? Hit the play button to find out!

July 13, 2023 Bachelorette 20ep3: Boosting toots
The co-hosts first argue about whether Mastodon is morally superior to Threads, then we argue about a socially conscience coffee chain,
then we argue about whether men weaponize therapy, then we argue about the Frier mascot. It's a lot of fun, join us!

July 04, 2023 Bachelorette 20ep2: I'm doing it for the kids
In this podcast episode we record with just Co-hosts Iciar and Craig because Co-host Caitlin is sick. This leads to a little bit of a shorter episode, a few more arguments, and a shorter description! Hit the play button and join us!

June 14, 2023 Bachelorette 20 Countdown: A fistful of Calebs
It's almost time for the Bachelorette and in anticipation of that great day we present to you our countdown episode to the new season. In this episode we talk a lot of about the Calebs/Kalebs and a little about the Chris Harrison podcast. Don't worry, there's plenty of banter, too!

March 29, 2023 Bachelor 27ep11&AFR: Hurdles
We start off by talking about other podcasts and then Co-host Craig tries to defend himself against a negative review. After that we get into the meat of this final episode, discussing Ariel, Gaby, and Kaity's intersecting journeys and Zach's numerous and repetitive apologies. Hey, we even talk a little bit about Succession!

March 21, 2023 Bachelor 27ep10: Parameters
As we entered "sex week" (to use Zach's phrase) who would have known that the sex would be with Gabi and not with apparent front-runner Kaity. Now they're both neck-and-neck to the finish of all of this, with one having had sex and the other... knowing about it? It's really messy which leads to a really good episode. Who knew sex could produce good TV??

March 15, 2023 Bachelor 27ep8&WTA: Socially relevant
We're bombarded by two episodes this week which includes the Women Tell All that a couple of our co-hosts may not have watched in its entirety. Not to be outdone, the hometown dates lack a certain... amount of content, too. But we make a good, and long, podcast episode out of it by bringing up gender roles and psychopathy and once again talking about Chris Harrison's podcast. And so much more!

March 07, 2023 Bachelor 27ep7: Very normal
We start off this podcast episode talking about Co-host Craig's lunch with Rob from the Vanderpump Robs podcast. This leads to some riffs about the big Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal. Does this relate to the Bachelor? A little bit, and possibly via the Chris Harrison podcast (blech!) that we once again revisit at the end. It's all here, hit the play button and join us!

February 28, 2023 Bachelor 27ep6: Late Stage Bachelor
We do the rounds talking about the dates that the women have with Zach, and speculate, once again, on whether the women actually like Zach. But then we get into the mission statement of the Bachelor Masters podcast and spend some time trying to figure out what it actually is, whether the Bachelor is really in a decline, and what it all means for us hosts of the pod.
