Bachademia

Bachademia

A Bachelor podcast so educational it could be a college course... Actually, it is hosted by college professors and employees with expertise in dating, communication, and pop culture. Every week Danielle Dick Mcgeough, Kim Hanna and Bill Henninger will breakdown the most recent episode of the Bachelorette, highlighting how current research in dating and communication applies to the weekly drama. In short, it is an academic(ish) look at the Bachelorette.

So hear me out, there is something about this seasons contestants that feel very boy band to me. I don’t know if it is all the 90s hair or what. Kim inspired me to read the Jessica Simpson autobiography earlier this year, so I feel like I learned a lot about boy bands.
