Finely Aged Cheese Rewind Episode: The Bachelor with Jenny Kokai

Put on your party clothes and get ready to get your rose as we travel back to May 2023 for our convo about the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. We had the funnest (yes I said FUNNEST) conversation with Jenny Kokai, professor and playwright, about ABC's "The Bachelor" franchise. We laughed, and we listened, and this talk could have gone on for another hour if people didn't have stuff to do.

I (Lynne) met Jenny in a Facebook group of non-male identifying theatre professionals and my theatre company wound up doing one of her shows as a tour for schools. She is wonderful AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE HER BACK.
