- The Hiatus: What Should We Do? released on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 12:26
The fantastic finale closed out Season Four in grand style, but it also marked the beginning of yet another long, dark hiatus before “LOST” returns in 2009. What’s a “LOST” fan to do? Jen and I are taking a break as well, but there’s some good stuff on the horizon. In July, we’ll be traveling [...]- Trans 2008-06-01: “There’s No Place Like Home - Parts 2 and 3″ released on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 11:42

Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, featuring [...]- There’s No Place Like Home - Parts 2 and 3 released on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 19:31
We’re spent. It may just be the shock of the final reveal (and the exploding and disappearing and everything else), but I’m putting this season’s finale as the best yet. Oh, there was a big giant Pandora’s box or two opened, and the requisite handful of new nagging questions, but in terms of delivering a [...]- Trans 2008-05-18: “There’s No Place Like Home” released on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 09:59

As a bonus, Ryan discusses pieces from the episode that ended up on the cutting room [...]- There’s No Place Like Home released on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 19:26
The overall design of Season 4 has been genius, as the introduction of flash forwards have set us up for a most unique of season finales. We’re building to a climax from both the past and the future, and the energy seems fittingly magnified. Yet for all the tension coming to a head on the [...]- Trans 2008-05-11: “Cabin Fever” released on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 10:39

The beautiful paradox of “LOST” is that, tonight, we have an episode that told us so much. Yet ultimately, at its core, the revelations are simple, basic, cutting right to the heart of the show we’ve loved for four years now. The quiet contentedness with which Ben shared Hurley’s candy bar said it all… without [...]- Trans 2008-05-03: “Something Nice Back Home” released on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 11:58

If last week’s episode was a taste of action adventure, “Something Nice Back Home” brings us back to the character drama. There was a heap of ’shipper fodder and a dabble of mystery, and in between a substantial serving of connecting the dots. Jack and Kate play house and bliss out, only to have it [...]- Trans 2008-04-25: “The Shape of Things to Come” released on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 11:02

“That was intense,” a breathless Jen said at the closing thud. It certainly was. The practical result of squeezing eight hours of planned plot into five six post-strike hours of broadcast was evident tonight, as “The Shape of Things to Come” barreled through five deaths (though three were socks), the smoke monster, Sayid and Nadia, [...]- Trans 2008-04-12: “HiatusCast” released on Sun, 04/13/2008 - 10:56

This special, music-rich, super-sized episode of “The Transmission” takes a look at the season so far. We attempt “Season 4 in Eight Minutes,” then discuss the high points and low points of the last eight episodes. Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, featuring our brilliant listeners and readers. As a special treat, [...]- LOST Mind Games released on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 11:07
Jen writes: I am a puzzle freak. Word puzzles and Sudoku are my specialties, but really, I just love any kind of puzzle. So when we got an email from a “LOST” fan named Anne Dawson who published a book full of puzzles, I could hardly wait to get my hands on it. [...]- The Season So Far released on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 17:07
We’re midway through the hiatus, and taking advantage of the break to regroup and reflect on the fourth season of “LOST” to date. (As well as burning our way through our Netflix queue and revisiting other friends like “Battlestar Galactica”!) Jen and I are contemplating another “hiatuscast” to bridge the gap to Episode 4×09, mixing [...]- Trans 2008-03-21: “Meet Kevin Johnson” - Episode 4-08 released on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 10:54

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the March 20 episode, “Meet Kevin Johnson” (Episode 4×08). After reviewing “LOST in Eight Minutes,” we take a closer look at the story. Unwelcome immortality, Libby visions versus memories, Sayid the tattletale, losing Danielle and Karl, what is ‘The Temple’ and who’s behind the fake wreckage? Then, we turn [...]- Meet Kevin Johnson released on Thu, 03/20/2008 - 21:08
An unusually structured episode gave us one long flashback bookended by brief and somewhat maddening scenes on the island. We begin with Locke calling a Town Hall meeting and becoming Captain Obvious (”Um, we like knew that forever ago,” Hurley says, a hat tip to fans). And we end with Ben sending Alex to safety, [...]- Trans 2008-03-14: “Ji Yeon” - Episode 4-07 released on Sat, 03/15/2008 - 11:29

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the March 13 episode, “Ji Yeon” (Episode 4×07). After reviewing “LOST in Eight Minutes,” we take a closer look at the story. The flashforward, flashback blend, Jin’s fate, Michael’s unsurprising return, Widmore vs. Benjamin Linus, meeting Captain Gault, and losing Regina. Then, we turn it over to You All [...]- Ji Yeon released on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 18:23
We love when “LOST” unleashes a clever twist of storytelling. But tonight, that twist was in service of one of the most tragic reveals we’ve ever had on this show. It was beyond bittersweet, it was heart-wrenching, to go from “Oh!” to “Oh god no!” in the same moment. Finally, Sun and Jin have separate [...]- Hawaii Filming released on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 04:59
A quick note to the curious few who listen to “The Forward Cabin” and its spoilers… “LOST” production has resumed in earnest this week and I’ve just posted a short note and several photos from an impressive location shoot in Honolulu. I won’t be posting filming updates here at “The Transmission” very often, so be [...]- Trans 2008-03-07: “The Other Woman” - Episode 4-06 released on Sat, 03/08/2008 - 10:21

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the March 6 episode, “The Other Woman” (Episode 4×06). After reviewing “LOST in (A Little Over) Eight Minutes,” we take a closer look at the story. Ben’s crush, Widmore’s link, and Juliet’s whisperlicious HarperGram. Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, featuring our brilliant listeners and readers. [...]- The Other Woman released on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 15:42
“The Other Woman” gave us an island flashback, and a little more insight into the pre-crash world of the Others. Charles Widmore is officially tied to the freighter, Ben’s creepiness leaps into another dimension, and Hurley is feeling lucky. But we still don’t know who Ben’s man on the boat is, and considering how much [...]- Trans 2008-02-29: “The Constant” - Episode 4-05 released on Sat, 03/01/2008 - 11:24

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the Feb. 28 episode, “The Constant” (Episode 4×05). After reviewing “LOST in Eight Minutes” (okay, nine minutes), we take a closer look at the story. Time travel, the Black Rock, Hanso vs. Widmore, and epic love stories. Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, where the real [...]- The Constant released on Thu, 02/28/2008 - 18:55
Only writers as brilliant as those behind “LOST” could give us an hour of television like this. No other episode has gone as far as “The Constant” in giving us a look at some fundamental theories behind the series, and yet at the same time pack an emotional wallop that reminds us that it’s the [...]- Trans 2008-02-22: “Eggtown” - Episode 4-04 released on Sat, 02/23/2008 - 10:03

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the Feb. 21 episode, “Eggtown” (Episode 4×03). After reviewing “LOST in Eight Minutes” (actually, an incredible four minutes), we take a closer look at the story. Aaron and his mommy issues, missing helicopters, Kate’s bad deal, and books, movies and music. Then, we turn it over to You All [...]- Eggtown released on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 19:34
Tonight’s episode wasn’t as dense or thrilling as weeks past, but it still closed with a single word, a single name, that scored a palpable hit. Aaron, Claire’s baby, is one of the Oceanic Six… but calls Kate mommy. And so my head spins with possibilities. Kate must be claiming Aaron as her biological son, [...]- Trans 2008-02-15: “The Economist” - Episode 4-03 released on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 11:36
This episode of "The Transmission" follows the Feb. 14 episode, "The Economist" (Episode 4x03). After reviewing "LOST in 8 Minutes," we take a closer look at the story. Time anomolies, Hurley's betrayal, photos and funny looks, star-crossed lovers and Sayid's new boss. Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, where the real genius emerges. Finally, we step into the Forward Cabin to discuss the synopsis and location shoots for next week's episode.- The Economist released on Fri, 02/15/2008 - 04:04
Another fantastic episode. And the details are almost as exciting as the overall pace “LOST” is keeping. This season is no leisurely stroll (you hear me, season two?). This show is now lean, mean, and likely to leave you dizzy. You’ve got the island mysteries (the 31 minute time discrepancy and the significance of bearings [...]- Trans 2008-02-08: “Confirmed Dead” - Episode 4-02 released on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 11:22
This episode of "The Transmission" follows the Feb. 7 episode, "The Beginning of the End" (Episode 4x02). We once again take the "LOST in 8 Minutes" challenge, then take a closer look at the story. Who are the "Freighties" and what brings each of them to The Island? What do their names mean? Why does so much of what we're seeing now seem familiar? And what was the deal with that cow? Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, where the real genius emerges. Finally, a very short visit to the Forward Cabin.- Confirmed Dead released on Thu, 02/07/2008 - 18:29
Now that was a season premiere. Without a doubt, “Confirmed Dead” got my mind spinning and my heart pounding the way I expected last week’s episode would. Tightly paced, great twists and surprises, and real drama. “The Beginning of the End” was really the end of Season 3. Now we’re really rolling. Awestruck, Jen rightly [...]- Trans 2008-02-04: “The Beginning of the End” - Episode 4-01 released on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 09:26
This episode of The Transmission follows the Jan. 31 episode, The Beginning of the End, the Season 4 premiere of LOST. Since we obviously can’t stop thinking and talking about LOST, Jen suggested we give podcasting another shot. But for better or worse, we’ve thrown the script out the window. Obviously we’re a bit rusty, but we still had fun, and hopefully you will too. Is this a leaner, meaner Transmission? Is this a one-off fluke? Is this a horrible mistake? Only time will tell. For the precious few that are still subscribed, enjoy!- The Beginning of the End released on Thu, 01/31/2008 - 21:30
Our expectations were perhaps impossibly high. Jen was counting down the weeks, then the days, until the premiere of Season 4. “I can’t frickin’ wait,” she’d say, simultaneously eager for “LOST” to return and afraid it wouldn’t live up to the hype. I have absolutely no doubt the return of “LOST,” especially in the barren [...]- The Mobisodes released on Thu, 01/31/2008 - 08:21
Long promised as a way to fill the horrific chasm between seasons of “LOST,” we finally got twelve weekly “mobisodes” — mobile phone-sized episodes — leading up to the Season 4 Premiere on Jan. 31, 2008. Initially released exclusively to Verizon customers, ABC later posted them online. (DarkUFO has also collected them into one convenient player.)

I have always found it curious that the first time we meet Jack Shephard, he’s in the middle of the jungle, completely dry. After all, that’s exactly what Ana Lucia says to Goodwin right before she kills him in season two. I find it even more curious that the second person (um, dog) [...]- Top Five Character Turns released on Thu, 06/21/2007 - 02:20
For all the mythology and mind-bending moments, the heart of “LOST” are the characters, their stories, the way they interact and evolve. Looking back at Season 3, here’s our picks for the stars that shone the brightest.
- Top Five Twists released on Wed, 06/06/2007 - 21:41
Jen and I pick our best shockers and surprises from the third season of “LOST.” What are yours?
- Season Three in Review released on Wed, 05/30/2007 - 20:43
The “LOST” withdrawal symptoms are setting in. For this, our first of about thirty Wednesday nights without a new episode, Jen and I take a look back at the last twenty two. ||| SEASON THREE felt like two separate seasons, largely due to the experimental, six-episode “pod” that aired last Winter before a two-month break. That [...]- Through the Looking Glass released on Wed, 05/23/2007 - 15:25
“LOST” has spawned a million theories. A show grounded in simple, human drama, but swirling with so many mysterious and supernatural elements that you know anything can happen. And yet, I don’t think anyone could have imagined where tonight’s episode has taken us. We were promised a “game changer,” and a game changer we’ve got. [...]- Greatest Hits released on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 23:50
By popular demand, Jen takes the reigns again! Charlie, up until now, has not been one of my favorite characters. There just isn’t much to him. He’s a junkie, who came thiiiiis close to being successful but never quite made it. It took four Charlie-centric episodes in which nothing happened to bring us [...]- The Man Behind the Curtain released on Wed, 05/09/2007 - 17:50
Because Ryan is a slacker, this week’s blog post is by Jen! — I have to admit; I am now very, very nervous. We’re in the last four hours of season three, and in this episode, we encounter an invisible man and another man who appears not to age. We see Ben’sd ead mother, [...]- The Brig released on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 18:14
This was ostensibly a Locke episode, or at least one that caught us up on his last week on the island, but it was Josh Holloway’s James “Sawyer” Ford that lent it its power. It was absolutely key to learn that some Others think Locke is a saviour of some sort, that Ben may [...]- D.O.C. released on Wed, 04/25/2007 - 20:08
“On this island, the rules are a bit different.” I guess so, since the character who spoke the line was presumed dead. Fortunately, that was the only detail that annoyed Jen, who otherwise agreed with me in declaring “D.O.C.” another excellent “LOST” episode. We’re totally loving the reversal revealed in Sun’s flashback — that [...]- Catch-22 released on Wed, 04/18/2007 - 17:09
One thing’s for sure, Desmond episodes are different beasts entirely. Most of the way, I wasn’t exactly sure where “Catch 22″ was going, and while I loved some of the a-ha moments, tonight’s episode really felt more like half of one. Of course, that’s to be expected as we near the season finale. Jen [...]- One Of Us released on Wed, 04/11/2007 - 15:27
“See you in a week.” Indeed. A spectacular episode, most definitely beginning the sprint to the season finale. And for all the clues and answers we get in “One Of Us,” what kept Jen and I dazzled was the performances, the writing, the pacing. Some episodes feel a little off, but tonight, “LOST” was in [...]- Left Behind released on Wed, 04/04/2007 - 18:13
This week’s episode marked an interesting change in our household. I continued to read message boards, chat with other fans, track down spoilers, and devour “LOST” podcasts. Jen, however, decided to go cold turkey, and basically came into “Left Behind” as pure as a newborn babe. As it turns out, Jen said she [...]- Exposé released on Wed, 03/28/2007 - 18:39
Oh my god. There are so many things wrong with tonight’s episode. But I loved it. I absolutely loved it. “Exposé” will, I predict, ultimately become a conversational litmus test for “LOST” fans: either you loved it, or you hated it, and either way, you’d be right.
Was it filler? Sure. It certainly [...]- The Man from Tallahassee released on Wed, 03/21/2007 - 17:24
Well, if that doesn’t hook you for the rest of the season, just go watch American Idol. It’s not often that the consistently overblown ABC promotions team and the fan press hit the mark, but “The Man from Tallahassee” is indeed a “game changer.” It says something that “why Locke was paralyzed” was most [...]- Par Avion released on Wed, 03/14/2007 - 23:16
I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. Jen was less impressed. To be sure, the big Claire reveal is something that’s been suspected since Christian Shepherd and Ana Lucia went to Australia in “Two for the Road.” I thought it was handled as well as it could have been (without making Claire [...]- Enter 77 released on Wed, 03/07/2007 - 20:19
“Why don’t you start with the DHARMA Initiative?” Why yes, why don’t you! Fans screaming for clues to the underlying mythology of the show, especially after last week’s feel-good character fest, get a heaping spoonful of information in “Enter 77.” We get an actual conversation with real questions and answers, and then follow [...]- Tricia Tanaka is Dead released on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 05:34
No big answers, no real mysteries, and more clever lines and chuckles than you can shake a skeletal arm at. It was just a fun episode… and that’s probably exactly what we needed. You know that brief moment in “Flashes Before Your Eyes,” when your heart soared just seeing Sayid and Locke and Sun? Well, [...]- Stranger in a Strange Land released on Wed, 02/21/2007 - 16:52
It would’ve been hard to top last week’s episode… and it almost feels as if “LOST” didn’t really try tonight. “Stranger in a Strange Land” had its moments — Jack and Juliet’s love connection, Sawyer’s manly moment with Karl, even our newest Other, Isabel the Sheriff (played by Diana Scarwid, not Fionnula Flanagan, thank you) was [...]- Flashes Before Your Eyes released on Thu, 02/15/2007 - 00:56
Many moments in this episode made me sit back, gasp, smile in wonder. But for all the mythology revealed to us in “Flashes Before Your Eyes,” I most savored the sight of our old friends. Charlie, Hurley, Locke, Sayid, Sun… I didn’t even know how much I missed them until I saw them on screen [...]- Not In Portland released on Mon, 02/05/2007 - 17:42
It’s hard to separate the euphoria over the return of “LOST” from the gleeful appreciation of a good individual episode. “Not In Portland” didn’t even give us a glimpse of the other three quarters of the cast, but nonetheless was a strong kickoff to what will be the longest stretch of consecutive new episodes ever. [...]- I Do released on Thu, 11/09/2006 - 00:54
People whom I love and respect thought last week’s story was great, but it did nothing for me. Those same people were disappointed by “I Do,” and I thought it was a damn good episode. One thing I’m learning? The fact that people still have strong opinions, either way, is testament to [...]- The Cost of Living released on Thu, 11/02/2006 - 01:23
Jen liked it. I didn’t. I can’t think of another episode of “LOST” where our opinions so clearly diverged. Jen felt the show was finally putting out after playing hard to get for so long, and liked that nagging questions were finally addressed. I thought the whole episode was awkwardly paced, poorly written, and amounted [...]- Every Man For Himself released on Wed, 10/25/2006 - 21:15
A strong episode, and one focused on a perennial favorite. While Jen has flashback fatigue for some of the original crew, she felt Sawyer’s story genuinely added more to his character. The question is, between the flashback and the island, did we see Sawyer con his way out of prison but get conned [...]- Further Instructions released on Thu, 10/19/2006 - 00:38
After two episodes firmly grounded in the real world, “LOST” throws a curve with “Further Instructions,” echoing some of the other decidedly mystical stories of seasons past. Specifically, tonight’s story seemed to be a third act, after “Deux Ex Machina” (1×19) and “Question Mark” (2×21), revisiting the underlying arc of faith and redemption. Those [...]- We’re Good! released on Mon, 10/16/2006 - 02:52
We certainly had an… interesting day, with early-morning earthquakes and an island-wide blackout. Fortunately for us, and most of Hawaii, there were no fatalities or serious casualties. Lots of property damage, mostly on the Big Island, and folks will be cleaning up for a while. But for the most part, it’s just one of those [...]- The Glass Ballerina released on Thu, 10/12/2006 - 03:51
I think Jen was about ready to turn off the television when Sawyer started ogling Kate. But it was worth hanging on for the last two minutes. So, the Others are neither as isolated nor as infallible as they first appeared, Alex resurfaces with a tantalizing link with the mysterious Karl, we see [...]- A Tale of Two Cities released on Thu, 10/05/2006 - 00:52
Tonight’s much-anticipated airing of the Season Three premiere of “LOST” was actually our second look at it, as we were among the thousands who enjoyed the sneak preview on Waikiki Beach over the weekend. And while the beach premiere was a blast, enjoying and analyzing an episode in one’s living room is a very [...]- LPN Interview: Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia released on Wed, 09/20/2006 - 17:48

What a ride. We loved it. Some big answers, some new possibilities, and some major branches of the sprawling conspiracy tree mercifully pruned. Two hours that didn’t feel like two hours, and such delicious connections and brilliant moments that we’re a bit speechless. “I think we’re going to have to watch that [...]- ‘The Lost Experience’ Continues released on Wed, 05/24/2006 - 19:53

Last week’s episode was a tough act to follow, to be sure. And any episode that comes before a season finale will feel more like an appetizer than a feast. But I couldn’t quite get into “Three Minutes.” Eko’s parable, Sawyer’s confession, and the return of Walt (and Vincent) were memorable, and the [...]- More ‘The Lost Experience’ released on Wed, 05/17/2006 - 18:58

Didn’t see that coming. “LOST” returns after another agonizing hiatus with a bang. Several actually. What happened to Ana Lucia might not have been too surprising, but how it happened was. And the next two bullet victims left us reeling. Jen was even more disturbed by the preview for next week. Things are [...]- S.O.S. released on Thu, 04/13/2006 - 00:53
We’ve loved Rose and Bernard since we first met them, so we enjoyed the focus on them moreso than perhaps fans of the “classic” cast of characters. But I think Jen liked “S.O.S.” better than I did. It had some wonderful moments — from Bernard’s proposal at Niagara Falls, to the creepy Henry [...]- Dave released on Thu, 04/06/2006 - 01:20
The mythology fans are probably howling at the moon, but as character-focused episodes go, we liked it a lot. Probably more than we should. We actually didn’t learn too much new about Hurley, or the island, and the whole Dave plot was one big ruse (practically a direct poke in the eye for the “it’s [...]- More Lost Podcasts released on Mon, 04/03/2006 - 05:50
If you haven’t tuned into the Lost Podcasting Network lately, you’ve missed the debut of three more great “Lost” podcasts.
The brilliant mind behind Sledgeweb’s Lost Stuff now has his own podcast: Sledgeweb’s Lost Podcast, of course. Sledgeweb has always been one of our favorite “Lost” resources, and this podcast benefits from Ben’s encyclopedic [...]- Lockdown released on Thu, 03/30/2006 - 00:56
A new countdown, a lockdown, a creepy map, and a supply drop. A whole lot of meat for the mythology fanatics to chew on this week. On top of the clues, we had Jack showing some cunning, and Henry Gale continue to climb the charts as a great character. (Even if he’s evil.) [...]- The Whole Truth released on Thu, 03/23/2006 - 05:18
A good episode. Not a barn burner, but still a healthy serving of Lost-y goodness. After the last mythology-rich episode, I guess a story focused entirely on the characters can seem a little flat. But I liked the flashback, wherein at least we learned things we didn’t previously know, and where things are [...]- LPN Review: ‘Unlocking the Mysteries of LOST’ released on Sun, 03/19/2006 - 05:08
A special segment produced for the LOST Podcasting Network. Jen offers a sneak preview of “Unlocking the Meaning of Lost: An Unauthorized Guide,” by Lynette Porter and David Lavery, due out next month.- Got “Lost”? released on Wed, 03/15/2006 - 21:00
Even with the repeats, it’s a good month for “Lost” stuff.
The one we’re really looking forward to is the official “Lost” soundtrack, featuring the excellent, distinctly eerie orchestrations of Michael Giacchino. This long-awaited gem is finally less than a week away from shipping. Check out the track titles: “World’s Worst Beach Party,” “Booneral” [...]- Maternity Leave released on Thu, 03/02/2006 - 05:39
A thoroughly excellent episode. An unusual one, too, with no pre-crash flashbacks. Lots of wonderful little links to things that came before, but much more tantalizing were the hints and implications of what’s coming. It was good to see Mr. Eko again, and who knows what he’s up to (cutting down marked trees, and [...]- One of Them released on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 07:30
A good episode. One of the stronger this season. Jen definitely thinks it was a good notch above both “Fire + Water” and “The Long Con.” I think it fits well, and now together the sense of direction this season is more clear.
- The Long Con released on Thu, 02/09/2006 - 08:10
First impressions? An interesting episode that continues the darker mood of “Fire + Water” with some interesting twists. Almost no clues for the sci-fi theorists, and a lot of emphasis on characters and motives… some of which left us scratching our heads. On the one hand, it made us sit up and say, “Well, now [...]- Trans 2006-01-31: “Aloha” released on Tue, 01/31/2006 - 08:15
There's so much more we should have said, and yet we know we could never have said enough. "The Transmission" must end, but we hope you've enjoyed the ride at least half as much as we have. We'll never be able to fully thank you for sharing your love of "Lost" with us, and for making our little show something truly remarkable.- Trans 2006-01-25: “Fire + Water” - Episode 2-12 released on Thu, 01/26/2006 - 09:57
This episode of "The Transmission" follows the Jan. 25 episode, "Fire + Water." Charlie grapples with surreal dreams that suggest that Aaron is in danger, while the rest of the camp begins to doubt him. In flashback, we learn how Charlie's musical dreams died in the wake of his brother's betrayal. Sawyer helps Hurley make a love connection with Libby, Kate gets closer to Sawyer, and Ana Lucia and Jack share a moment.- Early Warning released on Wed, 01/25/2006 - 01:57
Aloha, “Transmission” listeners! We’re a day away from our next new episode, but things in our sector of the island have been a little crazy lately. And, on top of this confluence of chaos, it appears that Ryan has even contracted “the sickness.” (Well, at least a really bad flu bug.) We [...]- Trans 2006-01-18: “The Hunting Party” - Episode 2-11 released on Thu, 01/19/2006 - 09:57
The episode of "The Transmission" follows the Jan. 18 episode, "The Hunting Party." Jack, Locke and Sawyer pursue a determined Michael after he heads into the jungle toward the dreaded "Others" in search of Walt. Meanwhile, Sun has a surprising reaction to Jin's desire to join the search party, and Hurley and Charlie commiserate over the age-old conundrum of "what women want." Sawyer's alias is challenged, Alvar Hanso is quoted, and Jack prepares to go to war. Alex? Zeke? Geronimo Jackson? Lots of names, lots of possibilities.- Trans 2006-01-11: “The 23rd Psalm” - Episode 2-10 released on Thu, 01/12/2006 - 09:59
Our first new episode of 2006, and it's a great one. Mr. Eko interrogates Charlie about the Virgin Mary statue, Claire begins to lose faith in Charlie when she discovers his secret, and Jack is an interested observer when Kate gives the recovering Sawyer a much-needed haircut. Stick around for some cast sightings, filming location news, and a quick chat with Walt.- Trans 2006-01-06: “Lost on the Web” released on Sat, 01/07/2006 - 09:23
Happy New Year! At long last, our third "hiatuscast," a special edition of "The Transmission" for the winter break. In this show, we check out just a few of the great websites out there devoted to "Lost." Discussion boards, official sites, great resources, and finally, a unique tour of the "Lost" podcasting community. We chat about one last theory, and of course share a few interesting updates on upcoming episodes in the "Forward Cabin." Finally, in our LostLine segment, we've got half an hour of great stuff, from season two reviews, to theories and responses to our "Theorycast," and much more. We're only a few days away from our next new episode, but the last stretch of "Lost" withdrawal is sometimes the hardest. Thanks for listening.- Trans 2005-12-21: “Theorycast” released on Thu, 12/22/2005 - 09:59
This special edition of "The Transmission" explores some of the many, many theories you've come up with to explain what's happening on the island. We discuss a few, and then include over 40 minutes of bonus listener comments. On top of that, we even cover some "Lost" goodies you might consider as last-minute Christmas gifts. And that's not all! For spoilerfreaks, we've got a great advance look at Mr. Eko's upcoming flashback. This is our longest episode yet, and hopefully one that can help you get a good "Lost" fix as we wait another three weeks for the next new episode.- Checking In released on Fri, 12/16/2005 - 20:08
The holiday season means in-laws, flu bugs, and end-of-year day-job mayhem, but never fear, our next “hiatuscast” is still in the works. Keep those “grand theories” coming! In the mean time, do check out some of the great stuff our fellow “Lost” podcasters are putting out during the break via the Lost Podcasting Network.
If you [...]- Trans 2005-12-09: “Kate Revisited” released on Fri, 12/09/2005 - 10:10
This special edition of "The Transmission" takes a second look at "What Kate Did," ways to get your "Lost" fix during the hiatus, touches on production news... and "Lost" castmembers in the news. Of course, over 20 minutes of LostLine calls serve as the dessert at the end of this modest serving of our show.- Stay Tuned! released on Thu, 12/08/2005 - 08:41
You know you’re a podcaster when… a fussy baby preempts your show. (Edward R. Murrow didn’t have to put up with this stuff.) We did have a mini show planned for this week, but only got about a third of it in the can tonight before an erupting molar pulled us out of the [...]- Trans 2005-11-30: “What Kate Did” - Episode 2-9 released on Thu, 12/01/2005 - 12:54
This edition of "The Transmission" follows the Nov. 30 episode, "What Kate Did."

This edition of "The Transmission" follows the Nov. 16 episode, "The Other 48 Days." We follow the harrowing experience of Ana Lucia's group from the moment the tail section hits the water to the shocking first encounter with our original group of survivors.

This edition of "The Transmission" follows the Nov. 9 episode, "Abandoned." Sawyer's wounds become life threatening as Ana Lucia and her group make their way toward the other survivors. Shannon and Sayid spend some quality time together, only to have their bliss shattered by a ghostly vision of Walt. We learn a little bit more about Shannon's life, while we are simultaneously confronted by her death.- The Official “Lost” Podcast from ABC released on Mon, 11/07/2005 - 22:36
If you like the sound of a "Lost" podcast, but could do without the family-den production values and amateur talent of our show, it looks like ABC is cooking up something just for you. Yes, there will be an official weekly "Lost" podcast from the network, featuring interviews with cast members and insights from the show's creators.- Where Are You? released on Fri, 11/04/2005 - 05:24
From Norway to North Carolina, Canada to Kansas, our mind boggles at how “Lost” fans are tuning in to our show from around the world. One of our listeners suggested that we set up a Frappr — that’s a “friend mapper” — for “The Transmission.” Show your hometown pride, and help illustrate the global appeal [...]- Trans 2005-11-02: “Favorite Characters” released on Thu, 11/03/2005 - 09:36
