Our Editor's Take

The Love to See It With Emma and Claire podcast guides listeners through The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Each week, it explores how the show presents the idea of love and ideal relationships. Bachelor Nation gets more complicated by the season. Luckily, Emma Gray and Claire Fallon are discerning Bachelor franchise analysts.

Emma and Claire laugh and wince at each romantic proposal on the shows. They giggle at ridiculous dates and despair over fights among contestants. Cast bios are often hilarious, too. Reality dating shows test credibility. The Love to See It With Emma and Claire podcast hosts believe in love. Yet they share a healthy skepticism.

There are many Bachelor-themed podcasts available. So listeners may not know which to choose. Love to See It With Emma and Claire is a fun pick because Emma and Claire have been fans and critics for years. Their first podcast, Here to Make Friends came out in 2015. Special guests on their more recent podcast include fan and host favorite Allison Williams of Girls and Get Out. Bravo's Daryn Carp and comedian Phoebe Robinson also join.

The podcast provides plenty of Bachelor news during the offseason. Love to See It also explores the representation of love in romantic comedy classics. When Harry Met Sally and The Holiday taught viewers what love looks like. That's sometimes a problem. Listeners needn't worry. Emma and Claire provide plenty of cultural critiques. Each episode lists what they love and hate to see on the Bachelor franchise shows and in pop culture. Bachelor fans can listen every week to hear the latest gossip and thorough recaps.
