A podcast for people who love The O.C. (like Jayne) and people who are watching it for the first time... 16 years after it came out (like Heather). We'll watch one episode a week starting from the very start! Come watch (or re-watch) with us.
If the names The Libertines, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Joy Division are making you feel warm and fuzzy, then this episode is for you. We're going in HARD on one of our favourite subjects, the music of The O.C. and there will be no Seth Cohen gatekeeping here, we welcome all nostalgia of the 00's and 10's music that we grew up with. Death Cab, Bright Eyes, Franz Ferdinand, Imogen Heap, The Walkmen, OF COURSE Phantom Planet, we've got it all (including a special mention for Peter Andre).
Join Heather (who has now FINALLY seen all of The OC) and Jayne (still our resident OC expert) as we deep dive into key episodes, moments and themes in everyone's favourite 00's American teen drama.

We're doing it. We're putting the four OC Chrismukkuh episodes up against each other to decide once and for all, what is the best Chrismukkah episode ever? Will it be Wonder woman? Or the questionable Bar mitzvah episode? Maybe the alternative universe gets your vote? Or when Caleb ruined Christmas with his illegitimate child?

MARISSA AND RYAN FINALLY GO ON A DATE and something happens to Luke, but who really cares about that?
Join Kerry and Heather as they spend another week looking into the lives of the habitants of Newport Beach. Outsiders looking in some would say...
Special guest appearance this week from Kelly the cat.
Get your white dresses and your armpit length gloves at the ready, because it's cotillion.
So Kerry on her second watching of this episode has some serious beef with the idea of debuting into society - Heather's just caught up on the "will they won't they" of Marissa and Ryan. With Jimmy's financial situation coming into focus, and the appearance of everyone's favourite character, Anna - this episode really packs a punch.
Heather can now definitely not say that she's never seen The O.C, cause we're on episode three baby!
It's a busy old episode, with Ryan in prison, a party to plan and most importantly, Julie Cooper's velour tracksuit making it's stunning debut. Join Heather and Kerry as they sort out Newport Beach's gossip problem, with Kerry's in-depth knowledge of the show and Heather's blind optimism that Marissa might finally dump Luke.
Warning - there are A LOT of song references in this episode...
Nope, not the perfect abode of the Cohen residence, and ACTUAL model home.
It's Episode 2 and Kerry has the fear. Whether you know the heat that Ryan's about to face, or you're going in with the blind optimism of a peaceful family life that Heather wants for him - join us for the second episode of our podcast where we deep dive into all that's happening at Newport Beach.
The big question is, do you like Ugg boots or not?
It's Heather's first EVER time watching The O.C. She's also spent the last 16 years thinking the theme tune for this show was the theme tune from Dawson's Creek but that's another story...
Whether it's your first time watching, or you just love seeing Seth in his jammies or Marissa attempt to light a cigarette, join us for the first episode of "I've Never Seen The O.C." as we watch the pilot episode of The O.C.
Let us cast your mind back to 2003 when the show launched, before we jump into what's happening in Newport beach.
Welcome friends - in this short introduction you'll meet our two hosts: Kerry, our resident O.C fan, knowledge base and fountain of wisdom, and Heather, our O.C virgin, out to discover everything that Newport Beach has to offer.
We are a weekly podcast watching (or re-watching) each and every episode starting from the very start of S1 E1.
