38. 'The Bachelor' (Matt James' Season) Recap With Deepti From Pop Culture Prisoner

Indra and Deana’s pal Deepti of the podcast ‘Pop Culture Prisoner’ is back to recap Matt James’ explosive season of ‘The Bachelor’ on ABC. In this conversation, the women dig deep into the big questions and controversy surrounding this season: Is Matt really as boring as he was portrayed on the show? Did the producers do him and the BIPOC contestants dirty? Should Chris Harrison be cancelled? Will Bachelor Nation ever get it “right” when it comes to race? Has Rachael Kirkconnell really learned from the backlash she experienced this season? And what’s the deal with Matt’s beard, anyway? They also talk about Rachael and Matt’s riveting interaction on ‘After the Final Rose’, Matt’s unexpected transformation from filming to now, Katie and Michelle as the two new Bachelorettes, Emmanuel Acho as the host of AFR, Serena P’s South Asian identity, Taylor Nolan’s tweets, our BIP picks, and so much more.
