About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Ilana Masad and Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais about their anthology on 'The Bachelor' franchise.

In this bonus episode, we go deep with Ilana Masad and Stevie K. Seibert Desjarlais on their new anthology: “Here For All The Reasons: Why We Watch The Bachelor.” It’s a book of essays about our first – and truest – love, “The Bachelor” franchise, and (surprise!) we even wrote an essay in it. We had such a fun time chatting with Ilana and Stevie about how this book came to be, where their relationship with the franchise began, why we continue to stick with “The Bachelor” when there are a million reasons we shouldn’t, and what they want to see from the future of the franchise.
