On Golden Girls (Season 1, Episode 6)
WELCOME TO EPISODE 6 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!
Gird your loins, Cheesecakes - Dorothy is studying for a French exam! Rose is OVER THE MOON to be babysitting for a couple we never meet, and the real shenanigans ensue when Blanche’s fourteen-year-old nephew, David, comes for a visit. He’s not thrilled to be there, and the ladies, Sophia especially, are not thrilled with his attitude.
For this week’s deep dive, Jenn tells Patrick all about the life and career of Herb Edelman, AKA Stan Zbornak. His life was a wild ride from NYC taxi driver to Broadway star to pal of Bea Arthur’s…which is a big part of how he landed his iconic role!
