Lost Flight 815 Podcast
On September 22, 2004 Oceanic Flight 815 departed Sydney Australia bound for Los Angeles, California, but never made it. Instead, the ill-fated flight crashed on a mysterious Island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean. The survivors quickly realized, THIS was no ordinary Island…

Created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Jeffrey Lieber, the Emmy Award Winning and ground breaking TV series Lost sent viewers on a weekly trip into the unknown as they witnessed a bizarre array of oddities from polar bears mysterious hatches to time travel and the infamous “Smoke Monster”. Airing from September 22, 2004 to the highly rated series finale on May 23, 2010, Lost was without a doubt one of THE most successful and addictive TV series of all time.

Join hosts Al and Joyce as they cover each episode in this critically acclaimed TV series in a way as unique as the show itself: they watch each episode and comment on it WHILE they record, allowing listeners to hear the episode audio and relive (or discover for the first time) the series beloved by so many. They’ll also share fun facts and behind the scenes information as well.

So, sit down, buckle up and put your trays in their up-right position because we’re about to crash onto the Island in the Lost Flight 815 podcast!
