To L And Back: An L Word Podcast

Hey have you seen any bread… for toast? Jenny hasn't… at least not yet. Also, Alice hasn't gotten her period yet but guess what WE DON'T CARE. While everybody sorts all that out, Dana gets a haircut, Francesca and Marina continue torturing each other with wicked games, Bette prepares for a Mommi-off with Fae Buckley, Tina wants to help at-risk children at the Institute for Social Justice Mart, Sha...

This week on another gripping episode of "To L and Back," Cherie Jaffe tells Shane that in terms of what she can do for her, she needs a change; Conservatives turn out to have very different taste in art than Bette does, Dana gets set up with an Andrew, Jenny attempts to digest food and wine at a sadistic dinner party hosted by her ex-lover and her mean girlfriend, and Slim Daddy brings Kit a smoo...

Join Riese and our guest co-host, director/writer Carly Usdin (who autowin fans will remember from Riese's original L Word Recaps) AND our special celebrity guest, writer/actor/comic Brittani Nichols, for this week's episode of "To L and Back," in which Bette and Tina join Dan Foxworthy's Special Social Group for Problematic Parents, Jenny's college buddy comes to town with binoculars and an appet...

Do you need a bath? Well then, you and Jenny have something in common! This week on The L Word, all tights are off and the yacht party is ON. Also: the girls stage a very important intervention with Bette and Tina in hopes of saving them from sinking into the deep, sticky quicksand of boring pregnancy conversations, Kristin has an incorrect opinion about warm milk, Dana and Lara cry in a restauran...

Stuff those dirty 'shrooms in your face, poke her in the face and liquor in the rear and then brace yourself for a world in which suddenly nobody has a cell phone anymore cuz if they did there'd be no plot! Jenny's still got her tights on though, just FYI, and Shane's making some valuable business connections while Tim stomps around a lot, Bette takes a trip to New York City for an art opening, an...

Are you in the market for a whey protein smoothie? Well I hope so because that's what you're getting on this week's "To L and Back," in which we recap "Lawfully," a real doozy of an episode in which Alice's Mom is wild, Bette can't believe Tina is gonna wear that dress, and Kristin would like Riese to stop saying "meat" so much! Check out Autostraddle.com for your weekly episode footnotes and musi...

Alice's eccentric mother Lenore is here and ready to lie because, at least according to Jenny's Professor Nick Whatever, "everyone's a liar, dear." But are they? Or has Hector Projector STRUCK AGAIN? Also: why is Bette being so mean? Who puts pee on a plate? Did Tim remember to DVR the slalom performance? Why isn't Lara more excited about Dana's incredible orgasm? Did Riese notice that Mr. Piddles...

All hail Queen Peggy Peabody, who arrives this week for an art buying spree — but will she save Bette's job?? Meanwhile, Lacey has discovered the joys of flyering, Lara's finger injuries won't get in the way of her hot date with Dana and Alice debates the pros and cons of asking Gabby to step off, bitch.

We drank a LOT of wine with Guinevere Turner (who played Gaby Deavoux and wrote for The L Word's first two seasons) and along the way, spoke about dildos, working with your ex, the Chart's origin story, the electric Season One writers room and a fateful trip to Dinah Shore. Beware! This interview contains spoilers!

This week on To L and Back, we've lovingly sliced tiny bits of our outstanding interview with Guinevere Turner into our recap of "Let's Do It," in which Alice pursues vaginal rejuvenation (for science!), the gals put together a mission to ascertain the disposition of one Ms Lara Perkins, Tim throws an awkward dinner party in an apron, and we all agree that pants were way too low-waisted in 2004. A...

For Part Two of The L Word's invigorating pilot, which Riese and Kristin honestly really liked a lot, lesbians have actual lesbian sex, nobody gets pregnant (yet!), Jenny has a big decision to make and The Chart begins tracking the mistakes of every lesbian, everywhere, forever. Your Hosts: Riese Bernard; autostraddle.com; @autowin Kristin Russo; kristinnoeline.com; @kristinnoeline Logo Designed b...

On our very first episode of "To L and Back," Kristin and Riese dig into our own relationships to this wonderful lesbian program and then plummet into The L Word's first hour of groundbreaking television (with our leather bracelets on), in which Jenny moves to L.A. and Bette and Tina scour the town for viable sperm. Your Hosts: Riese Bernard; autostraddle.com; @autowin Kristin Russo; kristinnoelin...

To L and Back is a new podcast from Autostraddle.com in which Riese Bernard will be re-watching and discussing every episode of the iconic lesbian series we hate to love: The L Word!
