A big milestone next week for today’s podcast guest, as Andy Dehnart of RealityBlurred.com is celebrating 20 years of his site. Wanted to bring Andy on for the third time to talk about the ever changing television landscape as COVID has put a halt on pretty much everything the last few months. Andy talks about how he got started and how Reality Blurred has evolved throughout the years before we dive into the Bachelor diversity issue, something he contacted them about. You’ll never guess what their response was. Also, we talk about how any shows can film in the COVID era and what it’ll look like. In addition, being a professor at Stetson University, how he plans on teaching in the fall semester and what he thinks the future holds for schools this upcoming year.

As always, if you’d like to respond to the interview, … Continue reading →

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.

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 … Continue reading →

Sometimes you’re sitting around just watching TV and the next thing you know, a day later the person you’re watching is recording a podcast with you. Pretty much how this weeks guest came about as we’re joined for the first time by the very insightful Clinton Yates from ESPN. You’ve seen him on “Around the Horn,” as a writer for TheUndefeated.com, along with numerous other appearances on some of ESPN’s platforms. I had no idea Clinton even followed me on Twitter until Monday, so I assumed he watched or was a least somewhat of a fan of the “Bachelor.” And once I realized he was, I knew he would have a strong take on the lack of diversity on this show. A very interesting conversation with Clinton and his thoughts in regards to the franchise overall, including the recent announcement of Matt James as the next “Bachelor.” We also dive into the main issues surrounding the return of the NBA, MLB, and NFL. As always, if you’d like to respond to the interview, please include … Continue reading →
