Did You Win? A Battleground Retrospective: Recent Episodes
Voxwell Productions
Battleground debuted on Hulu in 2012, one of the very first original scripted programs developed by and for a streaming service. Though it only lasted one season, the politically charged workplace mockumentary helped redefine what we consider and consume as television. Now, 10 years later, the cast, crew, and creators of Battleground invite you to listen in and watch along as we take a look back at our trailblazing show and answer the question: "Did you win?"
BONUS EPISODE! After the past year of revisiting Battleground together, we've wrangled most of the original cast, including host Jordan T. Maxwell ("Jordan T. Mosley"), Alison Haislip ("Ali Laurents"), Jack De Sena ("Cole Graner"), Teri Reeves ("KJ Jameson"), Ben Samuel ("Ben Werner"), and Lindsey Payne ("Lindsey Cutter"), along with Elizabeth Triplett ("Gretchen Cowler"/writer/co-producer) and J.D. Walsh (creator/head writer/director), to discuss some more of their favorite memories of making the show! Please join us as we crack each other up talking about true crime podcasts, catchphrases, jelly bean pranks, hot pepper dares, traffic violations, more (and different?) answers about what happened to Tak and Cole, what we think our characters are up to 10 years later, and endless teasing of our absent friend/sexy firefighter Jay Hayden ("Tak Davis")!

For our grand finale, host Jordan T. Maxwell ("Jordan T. Mosley") talks one on one with Battleground creator J.D. Walsh about the season/series finale, as well as how they first met, sports trivia, and the prophetic powers of Aaron Sorkin. And Jordan finally answers the only question that matters: "Did you win?"
