WELCOME THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls. Along the way, we sprinkle in researched deep dives into something from the episode or The Golden Girls universe!

In Season 2 Episode 19, The Graham Cracker Crust himself, Mr. Steve Tipton, is back to co-host one more episode! And guess what, SO IS AUNT ANGELA!! That's right Angela has traveled all 5,000 miles from Cicely--no luggage, per usual,--just to pop in for a visit. Shenanigans ensue when Dorothy insists that Angela relocate to Miami and that she stay with the gals while she apartment hunts! Sofia is...not thrilled at the idea, and hilarity ensues!
