Maybe Susan has no idea how difficult and also rewarding being a stay at home Mom is. It irritates me how that question was answered. There will always be time to work but you can’t get back the years when children are little. Kudos and love to any stay at home mom! It’s the hardest job but so rewarding! Love Serena and Joe. Great questions for Jen. She seems too insecure and needy and maybe that’s what led to Devin dipping out. Thank goodness for the fast forward button! So many ads!

It feels like the hosts Joe and Serena never want to cause any rifts in the bachelor nation “family” so they don’t really speak their true opinions on how awful some of the current contestants are, they’re always playing devils advocate even for the worst people and it gets a little old it feels like all their breakdowns are just very bland restating of what happened in the episode

Bring back more episodes of Golden Hour with Kathy & Susan 💞 I like Joe & Serena too. Fun interviews and discussions.

For some reason I see Jonathan Johnson and Olivia Lewis hitting it off. She seems to fit what he is looking for.

Congratulations. You have achieved the win: stooping lower than Nick Viall’s wife hinting/begging for comped merchandise/services. Serena’s outright ask for a free trip to Hawaii now replaces Natalie’s roundabout plea for a David Yurman necklace. You know zero shame. Here’s my reaction in words Serena will understand: I cannot.

Joe sounds so apathetic and unprepared. This is definitely not the type of podcast for him to host. He and Serena made the interview with Jeremy so uncomfortable to a point that he had to ask them questions to avoid the awkward silence. Serena has a pleasant voice and presence but doesn’t sound like she watches the show and comes off unprepared. Please bring new hosts.

Serena is a good host but Joe is really hard to listen to. Serena’s energy helps the guests engage in the conversation. Joe’s energy seems to drag the guests down and makes me feel like I’m listening to someone who is bored with his job. He doesn’t know how to ask good questions or come up with decent follow up questions. The show would benefit from either having Serena do this solo or getting a much better co-host to hold up their half.

Great interview style! Great interaction on recaps.

Not a fan of Joe. It feels like he dismisses and undermines her and just argues with her about things for the sake of arguing. It’s obnoxious to listen to. Would love to hear Serena host with a girl friend from the franchise.

I watch the Bachelor/bachelorette for light entertainment. The podcast has become a political agenda platform, which I might or might not agree with. I used to listen to this for entertainment and will listen no more. Please note that now that Joe and Serena are hosting I am back! Could not tolerate the constant political agenda of Becca and Michele. Welcome Joe and Serena. Glad you are here My 5 star review is for Joe and Serena, who are a refreshing alternative to the political agenda being pushed by earlier hosts. Love Joe and Serena! The Golden ladies? They are cringe worthy and I only listen to them if they have a guest who I might want to listen to. Honestly, its awful….perhaps the podcast will improve when the next Golden Bachelor/bachelorette season starts. But seriously I would rather listen to Joe and Serena. Nice try ladies….but its thumbs down for me.

Wish they had their own feed apart from the original. I admire the difference in opinions but sometimes Kathy won’t let Susan own her opinions and talks over her. Needs to work on that. Otherwise love the show. Don’t really listen to Happy Hour because Serena is annoying.

I love Susan but Kathy really needs to stop interrupting every guest and making every single thing anyone says about her it’s so hard to listen!! I want to support golden bach but this just isn’t it /:

Not a fan of Joe. I really wish he would clean up is language. All the times he chooses to use the F word are just unnecessary.

I loved the pod when it first started. Now I find myself feeling so annoyed with each episode due to the CONSTANT interruptions of guests. They don’t listen to their guests, they interrupt them nonstop and I simply can’t listen anymore.

Love the interview with Rachel

Well joe, you do have at least 1 very big fan of your podcast and the Philadelphia Eagles. So after one night Brett made the Eagles comment off he went. Fly Eagles fly!

I look forward to my commute so that I get to hear my bachelor recaps!

Love Serena and Joe! You can see how authentic of a couple they are, and I just love how they riff off of each other. Joe always cracks me up every episode. But for the love of god…. PLEASE stop putting golden hour episodes on this channel. They should be separate.

I’ve listened to many recaps, but BHH has just gotten lazy. The number of times Joe and Serena mention not paying attention or just getting details wrong just comes across as lazy. Those looking for a recap are interested in takes on the details, but these hosts miss the mark in almost every recap IMO. Interviews are fine - except Joes tendency to interrupt and talk over guests at times.

I have been listening to Bachelor Happy Hour from the beginning and by far Joe and Serena are my favorite hosts! The show is light- as it should be. I look forward to listening to it on my walks. Their recaps are fun and they are both very natural with their guests. Joe is a little awkward at times but it’s endearing and you can tell that Serena really gets him-their chemistry is super cute. I also love listening to Kathy and Susan on Golden Hour! They give great advice and are so funny together- I love their friendship and could listen to them every day!

Take them off of this podcast please, put them somewhere else.

Can we please, please, PLEASE separate Happy Hour and Golden Hour?! This review is for the Golden Hour episodes that are mixed in. Long time fan of the Happy Hour, would give it 4-5 stars. Kathy’s recent comments about how someone who is divorced and raising young kids would not have time for a relationship felt like a gut punch. As someone who is going through that situation, we don’t need reminders that life is hard and lonely. The words may be true, but I think that there is a more considerate way to deliver the message.

Susan and Kathy are terrific podcast hosts. They are delightful and uplifting and wise. Such a good time listening to their show. Great job ladies.

Read the subject line.

😁

My intelligence was insulted

Seven years and Ben takes every opportunity he can to talk about Lauren. It’s time to move on and focus on your wife only. Stop saying Lauren’s name every chance you get. The mother of your future children deserves your full attention now and not to hear you speaking about your ex.

I listen to a lot of podcasts.. and Kathy & Susan’s podcast is a breath of fresh air and truly great! I love their honesty, friendship and telling it like it is mentality… they’re always laughing & it always makes me laugh too… they’re funny and naturals on the mic. /mike. Ha

I truly cannot believe the fact that you get the best guests and somehow manage to ask the worst interview questions ever. The majority of questions you asked Maria, the most interesting and cool person in the entire universe, were already asked by Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy. Joe also kept interrupting her and talking about himself and does this ALL the time. Please put us out of our misery and get hosts who are actually good

Kathy and Susan are my favorite podcast! I could listen to them all day. More Golden Hour please!

I really enjoyed the charming and funny banter between Joe, Serena, Abigail and Noah! I felt your positive friendship! Joe and Serena, you too are doing a great job hosting the podcast! I haven’t enjoyed the podcast this much since Becca and Rachel were hosting it.

Love when you have friends on and the banter. It’s a great interview and seeing your friendships. Also LOLd multiple times but especially picturing Noah playing the cello while Abby walks down the aisle. 🤣🤣🤣

Very insulting to woman who do the most important job in the world. Demeaning to other woman. Wow what a thing to say.

Kathy and Susan are bringing a huge breath of fresh air into this world. They need their own show please! Respect!

The golden ladies are a good idea but they cut off everyone’s answers with their own opinions!

I DO NOT want to listen to Serena and Joe. I specifically unfollowed so I would not have to listen to their drivel. But I do want to listen to Susan and Kathy. PLEASE SPLIT THEM OFF AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THEM! They deserve to pop up in a search and build their own following. Please fix this ASAP! Previous Review of regular version: This podcast is ruined. I cannot listen to these 2, Becca was so much better. Time to delete.

Want to subscribe but only to golden hour.

Kathy and Susan are perfect together, I love listening to them! I did not even now how much I was missing listening to someone closer to my own age until this podcast. I like all the bachelor podcasts but always felt a little like I didn’t belong and couldn’t relate. Please keep the golden podcast going!!

They had me at Podcast!

Current review: Golden Hour with Kathy and Susan is great. I love hearing a new perspective. I wish they had their own show separate from Bachelor Happy Hour so I could give them their own review. 5 stars for Golden Hour, 1 star for Bachelor Happy Hour since no one asked for Joe and Serena, so the average is 3 stars I guess. It’s also messed up that BHH got rid of Becca the way that they did and that y’all didn’t appreciate Rachel when she was there, especially during those dark times in the pandemic. — Old review: That switch was shady and you know it. Serena wasn’t great when she guest hosted before, so this is surprising. What does Joe actually bring to the table??

Love this podcast and these two together! My favorite bachelor nation podcast by far!

Why aren’t we giving Susan and Kathy their own podcast to follow?? They are going to bring in so many listeners and fans; they shouldn’t have to exist only under the Bachelor Happy Hour.

I’m sorry I can not take it. She also say’s “like” a lot. Thank goodness they took out the fashion segment. It was such a bore I would skip right through it. I miss the old podcasts before this.

Love Susan and Kathy so much!

I really enjoyed listening to Susan and Kathy! Looking forward to hearing more! 😃

Had to watch the final episode of Joeys season the day after. Unfortunately looked at my podcast ‘latest episodes’ first, and there it was! Don’t mind if it’s in the ep description because I know better than to read it before I watch. But the headline?????

I am very disappointed in the podcast this week. I was unable to watch the finale live last night due to work and this morning I got a notification from the podcast that a new episode was released. And it had the winner in the title! Well I was trying really hard to stay off social media and avoid any possible spoilers… but you guys went ahead and spoiled it for me… not cool happy hour, not cool!
