Out on the Lanai: A Golden Girls Podcast

• Picture It: An Golden Girls Academic Deep Dive with the Authors of "Tales From the Lanai"

  Picture it: The lanai, present day. We're sitting down with a slice of cheesecake and two brilliant guests who have given our favorite show the academic treatment it so richly deserves.This week, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by authors Taylor Cole Miller and Alfred L. Martin Jr. to discuss their fantastic new book, The Golden Girls: Tales From the Lanai.While we've always known the show was smart, funny, and ahead of its time, Taylor and Alfred have put on their scholarly glasses to explore the deeper layers of what makes The Golden Girls a cultural and social juggernaut. We dive into their book's analysis of the show's treatment of chosen family, its groundbreaking portrayal of women and aging, its nuanced (and sometimes not-so-nuanced) approach to race and LGBTQ+ issues, and its enduring legacy in the 21st century.Join us for a fascinating conversation that goes beyond the witty one-liners to unpack the genius, the politics, and the heart of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. It’s a chat that proves these four women weren't just comedy icons—they were revolutionaries.BUY THE BOOK: https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/the-golden-girls/9781978836846/Join the GG VIP Club at Patreon.com/GoldenGirlsPodcastWatch video versions of the podcast on YouTube.com/OutonTheLanaiFor more Golden Girls greatness, visit OutOnTheLanai.com and follow us at...instagram.com/OutOnTheLanaiOfficialfacebook.com/GoldenGirlsPodcasttwitter.com/GoldenGirlsPodFOLLOW H.
