Been doing these podcasts for 3.5 years now and today is a first. Marquel Martin is the first person from Andi Dorfman’s season that’s been on the podcast. I didn’t even realize that until I started doing prep for the interview, so it was good to talk to someone from that season, and Marquel definitely has a lot to say. Loved this conversation with him recapping a season I’ve never covered in a podcast before, but also his thoughts on why he was passed up for the “Bachelor” in 2014, including an article he wrote at the time which he brought to light a couple weeks ago right before Matt James was named the next “Bachelor.” A very enlightening conversation that I think you’ll really like from someone who has pretty much distanced himself from the franchise since he left the show. You don’t see him on any reunion shows and you really don’t see him hanging with any former contestants either. As always, if you’d like to respond to the interview, please include Marquel’s Twitter handle (@Marquel_Martin) in your replies. Thanks again to Marquel for coming on. Enjoy…
