Description
In My Hometown is a fun and thought-provoking lifestyle podcast hosted by Jamie Stein and Pascal (fan favorite from The Golden Bachelorette). The show explores relationships, reinvention, and what it means to thrive in life’s “golden — or going golden — era.” (after 50!)
The podcast features two series:
Golden Era Conversations
Jamie, Pascal, and expert guests dive into real conversations about divorce, dating, sex, wellness, and life transitions, exploring how people reinvent themselves and build fulfilling next chapters.
Bachelor Nation Fix
Jamie and Pascal recap and react to the latest shows including The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, Bachelor Mansion Takeover, and more — breaking down the drama, the contestants, and the moments everyone is talking about.
Friends from Bachelor Nation, relationship experts, and Chicago voices join the conversation to share their perspectives and insights.
Whether you’re here for real talk about relationships and reinvention or your weekly Bachelor Nation fix, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to In My Hometown.
Jamie Stein is an award-winning PR, communications, and marketing executive, former reporter, and brand spokesperson. Pascal is a fan-favorite and finalist from Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette and a successful business owner for more than 40 years.
