A six-episode retrospective on the TV show Lost hosted by SYFY WIRE's Senior Producer, Tara Bennett, and renowned TV critic, Maureen Ryan. Fifteen-years ago, Lost changed the television landscape and its impact is still influencing what we watch today. For this podcast series, we're not recapping episodes. Instead, we're exploring how Lost impacted high-concept, serialized storytelling, opened the door for shorter U.S. seasons, created a transmedia landscape that fed water-cooler TV, ushered in a new era of fan engagement, and went on to populate the next generation of showrunners and landmark television series.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
I loved this podcast! So nice to hear from Drew and Liz, and of course, Damon and Carlton!
Fun
Fun podcast with an entertaining panel of guests. However i disliked that they kept blaming “the fans” for not accepting the bonkers plot and kept sugar coating it.
Talking over our heads
I was lost (yes, dear reader, pun intended) 50% of the time as the hosts spoke in language they’d use when speaking to each other, not when speaking to someone who is not a critic or TV insider. It’s as though they forgot the listener was even there.
