    Podcast Pick: The Golden Girls Deep Dive with Patrick Hinds and Jennifer Simard

    Podcast Pick: The Golden Girls Deep Dive

    Frank and I listened to an episode of The Golden Girls Deep Dive Podcast with Patrick Hinds and Jennifer Simard in the car driving back from Provincetown this year. I love this show! It’s going to be my treadmill podcast once it’s too cold, or dark too early, to walk outside. Give it a listen.

    About the Podcast

    Starting with the pilot episode and going in order, each week hosts Patrick Hinds (True Crime Obsessed) and Jennifer Simard (two-time Tony Award nominee) will recap an episode – infusing their commentary with humor and tons of trivia you probably didn’t know about the show. 

    Each episode will end with a fascinating deep dive into something from The Golden Girls universe. For example, did you know that the actor who plays Coco the chef in the pilot episode vanished 35 years later and then was found dead under very mysterious circumstances? And did you know that the actress who played Blanche’s sister Virginia was hired by 20th Century Fox in the 1950s as a replacement for – and a warning to – an “increasingly unreliable” Marilyn Monroe?

    About Where Do Gays Retire?

    Behind The Mic

    Mark Goldstein
    Show Host

    Mark grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and lived in Queens, NY, Westchester County, NY, and Stamford Connecticut before moving to the Tampa Bay area in Florida.  Soon after moving to Florida,  Mark and his husband Peter realized that retiring in Florida wasn’t a great choice. This is when Mark started a Facebook group called “Where Do Gays Retire.”

    It took a few years for the group to gain momentum, and then suddenly there was an explosion of growth. From a handful of members, to today’s 12,300+ membership, the group continues to grow and provide the LGBTQ+ community with information on where to retire globally.

    Mark started Zoom sessions with people from all over the world who are living in LGBTQ+ desirable locations to educate others.

    His latest project was to expand on the Zoom idea to gain a larger audience. The Where Do Gays Retire Podcast was born.

    Podcast Pick: The Love and Luck Podcast (Australia’s First LGBT Audio Drama Podcast)


    Having recently started a new short-form podcast, I was curious to see what else was out there and I happened upon this gem. I don’t know why it was included in a list of short-form shows but it’s a winner, and just in time for Pride month! Very sweet, I think you’ll love it. – Mark/Editor

    The Love and Luck Podcast

    “Love and Luck is a fictional radio play podcast, told via voicemails and set in present day Melbourne, Australia.  A slice of life queer romance story with a touch of magic, it follows the relationship between two men, Jason and Kane, as their love grows both for each other and their community.

    You can listen to Love and Luck via your favourite podcast app, here on the website, or even over on youtube, where episodes are captioned!”

    Among the Reviews

    “In a world full of true crime podcasts and anti-heroes and dark storylines, Love and Luck is a breath of fresh air. After just a few episodes, I’ve found the acting superb, the characters endearing and relatable, and the script wonderfully observed.”

    — Peter Wells, podcast critic for the Sydney Morning Herald

    “There’s something to be said for an explicitly kind show that won’t end in trauma. There’s something therapeutic in being able to wait for a narrative to unfold without the constant worry that it’s going to turn tragic. There’s something healing in being faced with constant news of your community facing more and more peril, and having something like Love and Luck to remind you that sometimes, things do end well.”

    — Wil Williams, reviewer at Podcast Problems
