Dear Shandy

Dear Shandy is your destination for smart takes on Relationships and Reality TV. Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine, or "Shandy", combine dating advice and reality show recaps for a fun analysis of modern romance.

Sharleen and Andy are two former commitment-phobes who have now been married for over a decade. They don’t believe in fate, soulmates, or The One. So how did they wind up so happily married? They learned the dating lessons by living them. Get no-holds-barred, honest advice from two people who actually have what you want: a fun, blissful partnership.

But wait, there's more! Sharleen is an iconic former Bachelor contestant herself, so they interview couples with at least one partner who was on a reality dating show, for double-date style episodes called Love Fests. Finally, Sharleen brings her insider reality TV alum knowledge and Andy delivers hilarious comic relief to combine for what are hands down the best Reality TV recaps in the business. New episodes drop every Thursday, and during TV seasons, twice a week!
