Lost Stuff

September 03, 2006 04:30

After an agonizingly long summer break, “LOST” Season 3 is almost upon us. Of course, the final stretch is often the hardest part. Fortunately, there is some fresh “LOST” stuff out there to help quench our cravings. LOST Season 2 DVD – The Extended Experience: Holding the #1 sales rank at Amazon.com for a while […]

Vote Jay & Jack!

July 31, 2006 16:42

Hearty congratulations are due to Jay and Jack of The LOST Podcast with Jay and Jack, who made the finalist slate for two categories in the People’s Choice Podcast Awards (Entertainment and overall People’s Choice). We’re proud of you guys, and we know you’ll do the whole LOST Podcasting Network proud! If you haven’t voted […]

Live Together, Die Alone

May 24, 2006 19:57

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 again.” For now, […]

‘The Lost Experience’ Continues

May 24, 2006 19:53

Are you playing the ‘Lost’ Alternative Reality Game (ARG)? Have there been any new clues tied to the Season Finale tonight? If so, here’s where you can post your discoveries, ask for hints, and trade clues and theories. Be sure to check out the previous two ‘The Lost Experience’ threads, here and here.

Three Minutes

May 17, 2006 21:32

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 clues in […]

More ‘The Lost Experience’

May 17, 2006 18:58

Tonight we get another piece of ‘The Lost Experience’ puzzle: LetYourCompassGuideYou.com. What’s there? What happens next? If you want to trade notes or ask questions of other players, this is the place to do it. Don’t miss the previous thread, ‘Sharing the Lost Experience,’ full of other hints, tips, and discoveries.

The Question Mark

May 10, 2006 18:18

Libby gasps her killer’s name, and dies. Hurley, Sawyer, and Kate mourn. Jack steels his will for a war. Michael glowers in the shadows. The theme plays. The computer beeps. Fade to black. “Hot damn, I love this show,” Jen says, finally taking a breath. I wholeheartedly agree. So much happened tonight, but we happily […]

Sharing ‘The Lost Experience’

May 10, 2006 18:17

There are excellent fan sites out there devoted to ‘The Lost Experience,’ the ARG (Alternative Reality Gaming) universe, where clues are collected and analyzed in detail. Wikis are a great way for fans to collaboratively build online resources, such as The Lost Podcast Wiki (from our friends Jay and Jack) and the LostPedia. There are […]

Spoiler: Photos of LOST Set

May 08, 2006 18:36

If you don’t like seeing or reading anything about what’s coming up on “LOST,” you should probably avoid this entry. But if you’re a spoiler fan, or someone who just appreciates the art behind “LOST,” I hope you enjoy what I’ve found as much as I did. As you may have noticed, I love hunting […]

Two for the Road

May 03, 2006 23:41

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 getting ugly […]

S.O.S.

April 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 smile, to […]

Dave

April 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

April 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 knowledge […]

Lockdown

March 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.) Jen’s not […]

The Whole Truth

March 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 left somewhat […]

LPN Review: ‘Unlocking the Mysteries of LOST’

March 19, 2006 05:08 - 8.01 MB

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”?

March 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” (and […]

Maternity Leave

March 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 cutting […]

One of Them

February 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.After the brief drought in mythological elements, it was great to have a […]

The Long Con

February 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”

January 31, 2006 08:15 - 5.63 MB

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

January 26, 2006 09:57 - 55.9 MB

This episode of "The Transmission" follows the Jan. 25 episode, "Fire + Water."

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

January 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 beg your patience […]

Trans 2006-01-18: “The Hunting Party” – Episode 2-11

January 19, 2006 09:57 - 71.2 MB

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? L...

Trans 2006-01-11: “The 23rd Psalm” – Episode 2-10

January 12, 2006 09:59 - 55 MB

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”

January 07, 2006 09:23 - 72.3 MB

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 h...

Trans 2005-12-21: “Theorycast”

December 22, 2005 09:59 - 71 MB

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 hel...

Checking In

December 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 […]

Trans 2005-12-09: “Kate Revisited”

December 09, 2005 10:10 - 46 MB

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!

December 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 “recording […]

The Official “Lost” Podcast from ABC

November 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?

November 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 of “Lost.” […]

Enhanced Transmission

October 17, 2005 19:19

Prompted by listener suggestions, we’re experimenting with “enhanced podcasts,” or AAC files with chapter markers, graphics, and links for chapter-capable players (like iTunes and iPods). This will make it easier to skip between segments in “The Transmission.” If you want to get enhanced versions of our show rather than the original MP3 flavor, use this […]

Nifty!

Yahoo! has jumped into the podcast directory fray with a pretty sharp setup. You can find “The Transmission” listed right here. Works with iTunes (via .pcast) and the Yahoo! Music Engine.
