How many times do you find yourself saying, “I just don’t get it?”. I can relate to that statement more than I would like to admit. As my search for a podcast began, I stumbled upon the podcast I Don’t Get It. It was not the first time I heard about that title as I have seen it circulating around Instagram from accounts relating to what is known as “bachelor nation”. Appropriately enough, the hosts of the show are Ashley Iaconetti (former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise contestant) , her sister Lauren, and Naz Perez (Bachelor producer).
Ashley began her career as a popular figure from the reality TV show, The Bachelor, due to her constant cry face, as well as her obsessive relationship with one of the Bachelor in Paradise contestants. This podcast is full of humor and unfiltered conversation between the three women, covering topics from relationships, pop culture, and general life problems. It’s intended audience are people who find themselves in the same boat as the hosts of not understanding a certain topic that they get educated on. I would say it’s mostly intended for women who are in their early 20’s, who have previously watched at least one show from the Bachelor franchise.
When it comes to format, its a combination of conversation between the hosts, as well as having featured guests on some of the episodes. Some of the guests that come on the show are actually former Bachelor sor contestants that were on the show. The podcast itself is ranked #106 on the iTunes chart, making it a somewhat popular podcast from the thousands of podcasts out there. Giving the first episode a try would be the best way to start one’s interest in the podcast. From the first episode you understand the vibe that the show will have, and learn the personality of the hosts. It gives you a taste of what is to come and if you should stick around for the ride.
