Summary
WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe! In season 3 episode 15, GIRD YOUR LOINS CHEESECAKES, DOROTHY HAS A NEW BEST FRIEND! Please meet Barbara Thorndyke, esteemed local author of the classics So Dark the Waves on Biscayne Bay and, of course, Scarlet Dawn at Boca Raton . Right away, we know two things about her: she's a TERRIBLE person and she LOVES an Old Man and the Seafood Salad (a little of that goes a LONG way!). Anyway, Rose and Blanche go out of their way to like her, but the kindness is not returned, Rose learns what a metaphor is, and Sophia has maybe the cutest date we've seen to date. AND STAY TUNED AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE FOR OUR INTERVIEW WITH BARBARA HERSELF! THE ONE AND ONLY BONNIE BARTLETT!!!! Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. All of our sources can be found on our website. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive
