Shownotes Transcript

WELCOME TO EPISODE 9 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!

When Blanche is asked out by her aerobics instructor, a considerably younger man named Dirk, she has to decide if she can handle being in a relationship with a man nearly... five years younger than her (Dorothy: “in what, DOG YEARS, Blanche?"). Shenanigans ensue when Rose’s mother comes for a visit and Rose can’t quite manage to treat her like an adult. 

For this week’s deep dive, we’re sharing our interview with Stan Zimmerman, WHO WROTE THIS EPISODE!!! The hilarious and handsome Stan came to hang out with us in-studio where he shared fascinating – and sometimes even shocking – behind the scenes stories from his time working on The Golden Girls. And you can check out his book for even more stories)!

Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. Visit our website) for a full list of sources. Follow us on Instagram) and TikTok) at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive
