Nearly Beloved

Nearly Beloved

Lucy May

It's our Season 3! Join us as we chat The Bachelor Australia 2020. Nearly Beloved is a pod about dating shows, for the feminists who love them.

We discuss dating shows as a way of thinking about our whole culture’s obsession with romance, coupledom and the idea of “the one"... and occasionally squeal over actual sweet things. Oh, also: the DRAMAH!!!1!

Dig into our earlier seasons about the delightful clusterf*cks of Married At First Sight Australia and Bachelor In Paradise!

Your co-hosts are Lucy May (reality dating TV tragic) and Karen Pickering (Noted Public Femmo, Bachie newbie and lol-bringer). We've been hailed as one of the funniest female podcasts out there, according to Lucy's mum. See you in the mansion!

PLUS find out Karen's fave part of Tour de France coverage and we join Bachie Twitter in asking Where is Niranga!
