Love it

Am I In Heaven?!

I absolutely love the podcast and cannot thank whoever’s idea this was enough! I have loved all the recaps and love hearing the perspectives from Melinda and Rachel as well as all the guest stars! I’ve been completely obsessed with The OC since 2003 and have now watched it in its entirety 9 times from start to finish (that doesn’t include all the countless times of watching random episodes). I’ve been to Redondo beach 3x now and all around Malibu and other filming locations. My love for the OC led me to fall in love with palm trees, the beach, the ocean, and led me to move from Canada to Australia to get some of that in my life! I can recite all 92 episodes from memory and I also have an OC tattoo on my leg! My wife and I are expecting a baby boy in October and his middle name may or may not be Ezekiel… thanks Seth! It would be a dream come true to be featured as a super fan on the podcast! I dare say I could beat ANYONE in an OC trivia contest!

Love it but got bored

I was so excited about this podcast until I finished season one & realised it is a lot of inside jokes between cast, crew and producers etc. it got hard to follow as it became less about the show and more about the people behind it. The best episode was with Adam Brody. The OC was my favourite show so I’ll try get back into it, but I hope to hear just more from the cast about their experience filming not the history of the person who produced the episode
