Customer Reviews
A fan from the beginning
I have enjoyed the entire run of this show to date and give Laura Stassi kudos for sticking with it and keeping the show going, even when she lost her network. Some episodes I like, and some I love, but through it all there’s a genuine caring about the lives of older people dating and an effort to represent and share different points of view. Though I know The Waves recaps of “The Golden Bachelor” are a separate show, I think they are complementary to DWG’s offerings. Keep the content coming, Laura!
Love love love this show
I’ve been a big fan for 3 years now and proudly being in the DWT nation 😁
Jumped the shark
I started listening about a year ago and felt it was very helpful. But lately, with all these episodes about Golden Bachelor, I could not be less interested. Please go back to addressing our real concerns.
