The Hatch: A Lost Podcast

This week we've got a deep dive into Kate's psyche (and Jack's, and Juliet's, and Sawyer's). Why did she give up Aaron, and should she have done it three years ago? Was she ever truly comfortable with "The Lie"? Plus we interview director Bobby Roth, who tells us about working with Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us y...

After being dragged back to the Island against his will, Sayid continues down a dark path. Juliet recognizes that her life in Dharma Initiative is coming to an end and Sawyer begins to do the same. It's all very sad. Luckily, actor Eric Lange joins us for a very fun interview segment to talk about bringing Stuart Radzinsky to life. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPo...

Sawyer continues impressing the hell out of us, saving people left and right and (maybe?) showing stronger leadership skills than Jack ever did. Plus we get our first glimpses of Radzinsky (what a jerk!) and Young Ben (super creepy). And Mark Goldman tells us more about directing "LaFleur" and editing all six seasons of LOST. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast....

Sawyer convinces the Dharma Initiative to take his group in, confronts Richard, falls in love with Juliet, and continues to search for John Locke and the Oceanic Six. Mark Goldman, who directed this episode, takes us behind the scenes for all of it. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA. Our theme music is by Andy G. Cohe...

In Jeremy Bentham's short life, he did a lot: Saw Charles Widmore and Walt, talked about fate and free will with Matthew Abbadon, had several terse conversations with Oceanic 6 survivors, and ultimately — in one of the show's most difficult-to-watch scenes — was killed. We'll discuss all of it, then hear more from Jeff Fahey, who played Frank Lapidus. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Fac...

What were Christian's shoes really about? What happened when Jack finally read Locke's note? And what about all the other people on Ajira Airways Flight 316?? There's simply too much to talk about this week, but we do our best. Also, Jeff Fahey joins us to talk about playing Frank Lapidus, the laid-back pilot who ultimately returns the survivors to the Island. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast a...

The mystery of the French science team, the death of Charlotte, the tragedy of Sun and Jin's search for one another, and the sacrifice of John Locke — this episode really has it all, and we'll discuss all of it. Then Fionnula Flanagan joins us to talk about Eloise Hawking, the person who knows both the past and the future. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Le...

The big question this week: Why does Kate decide to raise Aaron, and claim that he is her child? Meanwhile, on island, we appreciate Sawyer opening up to Juliet and Locke reaching a more mature understanding of his destiny. Plus the rest of our conversation with prop master Rob Kyker, who tells us about creating Claire's creepy fake baby and attending Evangeline Lilly's epic finale wrap party. Fin...

We're psyched for a Desmond episode, although we've got questions about his decision to go visit Charles Widmore — and about Daniel Faraday's decision not to tell Charlotte what's happening to her. We also interview prop master Rob Kyker, who tells us about creating the DHARMA vans and beer cans, his emergency glassblower and spray-panting bunny rabbits. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at...

Did the Oceanic Six have to lie? What happened because of it? We dig into Hurley's experience and questions of fate and free will in the second episode of this season. We also have more from Damon Lindelof, one of the creators of the show, in our interview. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA. Our theme music is by Andy...

We're thrilled to start Season 5 with "Because You Left." We talk through the opening scenes, the Man in Black's already-apparent manipulations, Charles Widmore's brief appearance as a classic movie villain, and much more. In the interview segment, Damon Lindelof returns to The Hatch to talk about time travel. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us your h...

We'll begin watching Season 5 of Lost on May 6. This season, we'll feature interviews with Damon Lindelof, Jeff Fahey, prop master Rob Kyker, and more. Keep up with us this season on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Our theme music is by Andy G. Cohen and our cover art is by Danny Roth.

It's the Season 4 finale, so we've got some deep philosophical debates: Is Ben already plotting his return to the island? Is Locke really cut out to lead the Others? And who are this season's most and least valuable players? Plus we chat with Michael Emerson, who tells us what it was like to turn the Frozen Donkey Wheel and why he was always playing Ben's lines for laughs. Find us on Twitter @TheH...

Finally, we see the Oceanic Six return to the real world, complete with a press conference. But back on the island, chaos reigns: Jack and Sawyer go in pursuit of Hurley, Desmond discovers explosives on the freighter, the Others capture Kate and Sayid, and still, Ben always has a plan. And actor Malcolm David Kelley calls into The Hatch for a conversation about what Walt, and Lost, meant to him. F...

What is destiny, anyway? We try to figure out what it means for Locke and for Ben, as Locke attempts to save the island and Ben attempts to avoid grappling with his sins. Plus we welcome back Kevin Durand (Martin Keamy), who tells us about filming his epic fight with Sayid, getting stabbed by Ben and ad-libbing one of the show's funniest lines. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.c...

On the island, Jack has appendicitis and Juliet saves the day. But we spend most of this episode discussing the flash-forward, in which Jack and Kate appear to be happily raising Aaron together until Hurley and Christian Shephard fan the flames of doubt within Jack, starting him down the path that leads back to the Island. And production designer Jim Newport returns to the show with stories about...

Michael Emerson joins us to discuss the scene in which Keamy kills Alex, when Ben Linus's heartless façade begins to crack just a little. We dive deep into the Ben-Charles Widmore confrontation and Ben's recruitment of Sayid in the flash-forward. Michael even shares behind-the-scenes the details about playing the piano and riding a horse. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/the...

After watching this episode, we're ready to declare Michael the show's most tragic character. Seriously, all he wants to do is die and even that won't grant him peace. We also talk with production designer Jim Newport, who takes us behind the scenes of "The Constant" and tells us about building the freighter. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us your ho...

The combined flashback/flash-forward doesn't quite hold up on a second viewing, but the rest of this episode does. From Juliet revealing Sun's affair to Jin to Bernard reflecting on karma to the low hum of danger on the freighter, there's more than enough to discuss. Then, Kevin Durand joins us to talk about his approach to playing mercenary Martin Keamy. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at...

We're surprised by how much we enjoy this episode — Ben is at his most disturbing, and Harper Stanhope may or may not be the Monster. (Also, remember the Widmore reveal?!) Plus we continue our conversation with costume designer Roland Sanchez, who tells us about the first time Matthew Fox visited his fitting room. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us yo...

Some have called "The Constant" the greatest TV episode of the millennium. Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) and Sonya Walger (Penny) join us to discuss the episode in detail, from how the phone call was filmed to what made their characters' love so enduring. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA. Our theme music is by Andy G. C...

Lots of questions this week: Why won't Kate let her mother see Aaron? Why is she really mad at Sawyer? And how much should we blame Locke for his own incompetent leadership? Plus we talk with LOST costume designer Roland Sanchez, who tells us about his inspiration for Ben, Miles, Ms. Hawking and other characters. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Leave us you...

Sayid, sometime in the future, is a dapper assassin in places like the Seychelles. This prompts a lot of questions, although we remain Sayid's #1 fans, and also talk Naomi, Kate and Sawyer. Plus, the conclusion of our interview with Rebeca Mader, in which we get her take on the time the show's creators messed up Charlotte's age and hear a few more funny stories. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast...

The freighter folk are introduced in the second episode of Season 4 — but should this have been the season premiere? We think so, actually. We talk about all the reasons we love Daniel Faraday, Charlotte Lewis, Miles Straume and Frank Lapidus. Plus Rebeca Mader, who plays Charlotte, shares an honest assessment of her character's story arc — the good and the bad. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast...

We're back for season four, folks! "The Beginning of the End" picks up right where season 3 left off. It's the first season premiere to focus on anyone but Jack, choosing Hurley instead. We talk about the still-escalating Jack-John conflict, Jacob's cabin, the fallout from Charlie's death, and the visit of the mysterious Matthew Abaddon to Hurley in the flash-forward. Stick around for the start of...
