(The spoiler-filled part of this podcast begins at 17:06, so stop listening there!) We're excited to re-introduce ourselves, as well as to share some updates about what we've been up to.

Reunion - Four Months Later
August 10, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBYou know how after everyone graduates and everyone's back home for the holidays and you meet up at an Applebee's? That's what this episode is, except it's four months later and we're still in the midst of a global pandemic – so why not dust off the old mics and get to chatting? We answer new "Dawson's Creek" questions, complain about "Iron Man 3," argue about cereal, and share some of the things we've been doing/watching/listening to since we "said good night, but not goodbye."
Graduation - Our Series Finale
March 30, 2020 08:00 - 4 hours - 158 MBThree years later ... and our journey has come to an end. We recap "Dawson's Creek," talk about some of our favorite moments and episodes, and go through some of your emails, voicemails, and questions. We love you and thank you for being part of Dawson's Speak. "We'll see you soon, child."
Bonus Episode - How We're Passing the Time in Isolation
March 23, 2020 08:00 - 39 minutes - 24.1 MBSurprise! We know we said you'd hear from us in 2 weeks for our "graduation" episode, and that's still coming next week... But right now, we wanted to take a few minutes (OK, more like 40 minutes) to talk about ways we're passing the time right now. Our world is in a scary place right now and it's uncharted territory for most of us. Be safe, wash your hands, and enjoy our recommendations for what we're listening to, watching, and reading :)
623 & 624 - All Good Things ...Must Come to an End
March 16, 2020 08:00 - 3 hours - 273 MBWe made it to the series finale! And nothing in it was spoiled for Charles!! FIRST: This is not our LAST episode! SECOND: We are so, so, so grateful to everyone who's come on this journey with us as we finally get to jump 5 years ahead and see what our favorite verbose teens-turned-young adults are up to. We know that the world feels a little bleak right now, but hopefully this very long episode can provide a little levity <3
Study Hall #14 - Season 6 Recap
March 09, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBYes, we talked for a long time about a not-that-great season. It's because we're just savoring our remaining episodes! We discuss our favorite moments and favorite episodes (and brush past our least favorite one!), and Charles makes his final series finale predictions...
622 - Joey Potter and Capeside Redemption
March 02, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MBSeason 6 has come to an end and the show has brought us home to Capeside. With the help of his friends, Dawson gets started on his movie; Pacey runs into someone from his past; and Jen, Jack, and Grams say their official goodbye to the Creek. And, most importantly... Joey finally goes to Paris!
621 - Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road
February 24, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBWe're back! And we're bringing it home to Capeside... Dawson, Pacey, and Joey find themselves in a familiar place after Pacey tells Dawson his money is gone. Also, Grams' secret is out as Jen's mom comes to town and they all make a plan to move to New York.
620 - Catch-22
February 10, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 43 MBWe must be nearing the end because that was a fast wrap-up of 5 characters... The Jeddie/Jetty is officially done, Pacey's job turns upside down, and Jack is back to being single. Come for the rants, stay for Charles' illogical predictions!
619 - Lovelines
February 03, 2020 09:00 - 57 minutes - 32.5 MBWe don't wanna wait...to be done talking about this episode. Oh, "Dawson's Creek," what happened here... How did this happen? Why did this happen?? Justice for Jack/David!!!
618 - Love Bites
January 27, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 38.5 MBLove does bite! The Poey hits a rock, Dawson struggles to convince Gail he doesn't need a back-up plan, and Jen discovers Grams' secret. Also, Paula Cole's love of Whole Foods and a Creek of the Week podcast update from one of the hosts himself!
617 - Sex and Violence
January 20, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB#DawsonsCreekTaughtMe not to trust men with broad shoulders. Also, that the Hollywood of the early 2000s doesn't like heartfelt coming-of-age stories! It's a good thing there's the Creek to fill that void <3
616 - That Was Then
January 13, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBHappy 2020! We're in the homestretch now... Dawson and Pacey are back in Capeside for very different reasons, and Joey has to babysit Harley. This episode is steeped in nostalgia, so you know we enjoyed it. Also, Mr. Gold returns! That was unexpected.
615 - Castaways
December 23, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBThe one where Pacey and Joey get stuck in a K-Mart all night and are forced to have a conversation (and a fight) that we've been waiting for for almost two seasons...! Also: GOODBYE GOATEE!
614 - Clean and Sober
December 16, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 43.9 MBTime for a house party! Drunk Joey makes everyone play Spin the Bottle, Pacey and Jack worship a new TV, and we say goodbye to Emma (much to Charles' disbelief). Dawson and Audrey also go through some good healing at rehab as they stalk Toni Stark (not to be confused with Tony Stark).
613 - Rock Bottom
December 09, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 35.4 MBRoad triiiiip! Featuring...Seth Rogen? Season 6 continues its weird and winding journey as Joey, Eddie and Audrey head west; Dawson struggles with exerting authority on set; and Jen tries to find love for Grams. And honestly? We're not into any of it.
612 - All the Right Moves
December 02, 2019 09:00 - 47 minutes - 28.7 MBDoes this episode have all the right moves? There's no Dawson, and barely any Jack or Jen, so we're not too sure... but we do find out a little bit about what happened to Eddie, we see Pacey continue to soar at his seemingly shady job, and Audrey continues to spiral.
611 - Day Out of Days
November 25, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 40.5 MBThe structure of this episode was weird, and we feel like there should've been an episode between this one and the last ... but nevertheless, we had fun talking about the movie business and aquariums! Also, Charles makes predictions about Pacey's goatee.
Study Hall #13 - Interviewing Each Other
November 18, 2019 09:00 - 52 minutes - 32.6 MBWe're taking a mid-season break to get to know each other "on pod." Does Charles *actually* like "Dawson's Creek"? What surprised Traci the most about doing the podcast? Will we talk at all when this series is over??
610 - Merry Mayhem
November 11, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.1 MBWe recorded this not-so-merry episode way too late at night, so excuse our rambling as the group heads back to Capeside for an ill-fated dinner at the Leery household. And it ends with a hole in the side of Gail's house! Oof.
609 - Everything Put Together Falls Apart
November 04, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 39.1 MBThe Jeddie sets sail (and then hits some rough waters), Dawson tries not to get jealous of Tag from "Friends," and Emma gets an up-close look at Pacey's misogynistic work environment. Also, Jack appears for 7 seconds!
608 - Spiderwebs
October 28, 2019 08:00 - 56 minutes - 34.9 MBLast week, Charles predicted that nothing good ever happens at concerts on "Dawson's Creek"...and he wasn't wrong. From verbal (and physical!) fights to getting arrested, this No Doubt concert was certainly quite dramatic for our gang...
607 - Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell
October 21, 2019 08:00 - 58 minutes - 36.3 MBContrary to what the promo wants you to believe, this whole episode does not take place in New Orleans! Joey and Eddie get closer (after first getting farther apart), Jen learns more about CJ, Jack says goodbye to Professor Freeman, and Audrey's breakdown continues.
606 - Living Dead Girl
October 18, 2019 08:00 - 57 minutes - 46.1 MBSURPRISE! Guess who got their data recovered? Sorry this is coming out a few days late, but you'll hear the disclaimer at the top that some of our chatter may be a bit "out of date"... nonetheless, here we are with a spooky, scary Halloween episode! There's a bonkers prank, an intense party, and a sad breakup – what more could we want out of a Halloween episode?
Some bad news...
October 14, 2019 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.24 MBDue to a massive hard drive malfunction, there's no new episode this week. Sorry :(
605 - The Impostors
October 07, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 36.6 MBIt's giveaway time!! Details in the abbreviated intro of this episode! We're surprised the ratings online for this episode aren't higher because we actually quite enjoyed seeing more of Dawson's movie set drama and also seeing more depth to Jack's storyline too. We don't love that the Paudrey is continuing to struggle, but I guess that's what a soapy teen drama brings to the table...
604 - Instant Karma!
September 30, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 38.7 MBDawson and Joey find themselves in a love rhombus, the Paudrey is in trouble, and Jack and his professor might be getting a little too close. Overall, this episode just made us sad, but we still found time to talk about ghosts and time travel.
603 - The Importance of Not Being Too Earnest
September 16, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBJoey sends her personal email to Dawson to the entire Worthington campus on accident, Pacey starts stock broker-ing, and "Studious Jack" makes an appearance as he becomes clearly infatuated with Prof. Freeman's class. Come for the "Dawson's Creek" ramblings, stay for the poor Shakespeare reference that closes out the show!
602 - The Song Remains the Same
September 09, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 38.7 MBSORRY for the rushed nature of this week's episode! We had technical difficulties and a scheduling conflict :( But perhaps it's fitting given how the writers just rushed through the Joey/Dawson stuff? They sleep together, they effectively break up, and then a lot of other stuff happens in the background with the rest of the gang. Season 6 is off to a tiring start!
601 - The Kids Are Alright
September 02, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBWELCOME TO SEASON 6! The gang starts sophomore year of college, except for Dawson who's been working in Hollywood and doesn't even show up in the episode until half an hour in. Also, Jack Osbourne makes a cameo, which was very confusing to Charles.
Study Hall #12 - Season 5 Recap
August 26, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBWe're saying goodbye to season 5 officially, and we couldn't be more happy to see it go. But there were some good moments, and we want to acknowledge those too! From top 5 moments to favorite new characters, we run through the best of what felt like a very long 23 episodes. Also, Charles talks about ghosts again.
523 - Swan Song
August 19, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBWe've made it to the season finale! Joey and Pacey are working at the yacht club while everyone else is at the airport: Dawson and Audrey are headed to LA, Jack and Jen are headed to Costa Rica, and Grams is randomly there with Mr. Smalls too. Of course, not all trips are going to go as planned...
522 - The Abby
August 12, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 39.7 MBWe're back! The school year has ended and Dawson and Joey are back in Capeside, Pacey leads a staff walkout at Civilization, and Jack and Jen plan an epic summer vacation – or at least they try to. We also have some life updates to chat about, including the fact that Charles finally watched "Legally Blonde"!
521 - After Hours
July 29, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 38.6 MBCome for the "Dawson's Creek" talk, stay for the ghost theories. The Paudrey is heading toward rough(er) waters, Dawson finds himself in a film student's fantasy, and Jack struggles to study for his finals. Also, Joey spends the whole episode in the library trying not to kill her annoying friends.
520 - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
July 22, 2019 08:00 - 56 minutes - 33 MBGOODBYE, CHARLIE TODD. And yet...we're not happy with how he went out? Hmm... Joey says goodbye to this whirlwind romance, Dawson and Oliver go to New York and have a bonkers meeting with an agent, and Civilization gets new management (which spells trouble for the Paudrey). Where's Jack and Jen? :(
519 - 100 Light Years From Home
July 15, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBHappy 100th episode, Dawson's Creek! This episode is...fine. Dawson is back to being in love with Joey. Pacey and Audrey are dealing with defining their relationship again. Joey and Jen get into a confrontation about Charlie. Meanwhile, it's Jack who's really suffering and why is no one paying attention??? Also, Traci and Charles talk (too much) about Pokemon, M2M, Britney Spears, and The OC. We kind of went off the rails in this episode – much like this episode of the show itself!
518 - Cigarette Burns
July 08, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 39 MBDawson is frustrated over the rough cut of his film, Joey flirts with Charlie, and Pacey and Audrey battle their insecurities. Plus, Grams has a new boyfriend! She's such #goals! Oh, and on this episode, Traci and Charles talk a lot about ghosts. Well, it's mainly Charles.
517 - Highway to Hell
July 01, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 36.2 MBThe Joey Show continues as she fronts Charlie's band again during a gig at a "distant biker bar club" and charms the crowd after a rocky start. Oh yeah, and then there's this whole story in Capeside with Lily's first birthday and Gail's growth and Dawson and Jen breaking up...
516 - In a Lonely Place
June 24, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBTraci and Charles talk a lot about what's in their head canons as Joey officially ends things with Professor Wilder, Dawson and Jen encounter some potentially bumpy waters ahead, and Pacey and Jack go out.
515 - Downtown Crossing
June 17, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 39.5 MBJoey gets mugged. Joey sings with her mugger. The mugger dies. We don't know what else to say (even though we talked for more than an hour about this!)...
514 - Guerrilla Filmmaking
June 03, 2019 08:00 - 53 minutes - 41.9 MBIn this part 1 of 2 episodes, apparently (yep, that means "Downtown Crossing" is coming up): Dawson directs Oliver's movie (that we still don't entirely understand), Joey gets closer to Professor Wilder, and Jack leaves the frat house...
Study Hall #11 - Ask Us Anything, Pt. 2
May 27, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBTraci and Charles finally take your "fan-submitted, anonymously-written" questions – from Hogwarts house sortings to Charles' series finale predictions to Disney recommendations. There's also an advice section! Sorry in advance!
513 - Something Wilder
May 20, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 37.6 MBCharles' nightmare comes to life as Joey and Professor Wilder get a liiiiiittle too close for comfort. Also, Dawson starts college (again), Jen loses her edge, and Jack is on academic probation. Who knew it'd be up to Pacey to be the adult in the room?
512 - Sleeping Arrangements
May 13, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 51 MBDawson moves into Grams' house, Jack moves into the fraternity house, and Pacey has to move off of the boat. So much moving! Also, Traci and Charles talk about Hogwarts houses for a little bit too long. (Sorry.)
511 - Something Wild
May 06, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 55 MBJoey sings, Pacey and Audrey get new(ish) jobs, and trouble is brewing in Capeside as Dawson and Jen get into their first fight but then resolve things pretty quickly. Mainly, Charles is relieved that this isn't an episode about Joey and Professor Wilder, but is a Joey/Charlie pairing really any better?
510 - Appetite for Destruction
April 29, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBCome for the drama, stay for Traci and Charles having emotional realizations about their lives and past relationships. Dawson and Jen get caught making out in the foyer! Joey spends the whole episode convincing people she's fine! Audrey throws food on herself! Jack and Jen have a heart-to-heart! And Pacey just tries to cook everyone dinner while they all flip out. Poor Pacey.
509 - Four Scary Stories
April 22, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBAs the title tells us, there are four scary stories presented. But as the title won't tell you, they're not...really...that...good? That's a bold claim. Maybe they are great and we're dumb. That could be it. Joey beats up a predator, Jack meets a ghost, Pacey and Karen get chased by a ghost car, and Jen...well, we're not really sure what happened there.
508 - Hotel New Hampshire
April 15, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBDawson finds peace at a film festival (and, as the fan submitted, anonymously written IMDb summary doesn't tell us, loses his virginity), Jack's bro-y behavior irks Joey and Audrey, and Pacey dates Karen, sleeps with Karen, then says goodbye to Karen. Traci and Charles also apologize for their mouths moving faster than their brains.
507 - Text, Lies And Videotape
April 08, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 51.7 MBDawson goes to therapy, Joey shines in her research group, and Pacey plays the moral compass. Meanwhile, Traci and Charles talk about the law (but we're not a legal podcast) as Charles rants about his dislike for Chef Danny and Professor Wilder.
