A rose-worthy roundup inside 🌹
An editor shout-out, The Bachelor PhD, and a photo of Elvis
There’s so much happening with my podcasts that I sometimes forget to shout out my excellent editor, who’s handled most of the edits for the past six months. If you’re in need of a fantastic audio editor, check out Jamie’s portfolio.
Here’s what I’m publishing this week:

What I’m listening to
There’s a new season of The Bachelor out now, and I can’t for the life of me enjoy the show. But I try and watch anyway because I love the podcast The Bachelor PhD. Hosted by three academics, the conversation is less a play-by-play of what happens and more an analysis of how The Bachelor is a reflection on American culture. Huh — kind of like what I do with Vanderpump Robs.
