On this episode of Talkin with Tasha + Trey: LostCast, Trey and I dive into Season 1, Episode 16 of Lost, “Outlaws.” We unpack Sawyer’s heartbreaking backstory and his beef with a mysterious boar. Along the way, we also discuss fate, guilt, and redemption. As always, the conversation also wanders into plenty of side quests, including AI, Eurovision, 90s music, tornaders, and the songs that still get millennials emotional decades later. Warning: this episode is very lightly edited so if some stuff seems weird that's probably because I was too lazy to take it out. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha, I chat with fantasy author Gabrielle Wanek about the inspiration behind her debut novel, Songs of Ash and Dawn. From mythology and video games to paranormal small-town stories, Gabrielle shares how she built her fantasy world and created her characters. She turned a passion project into the start of a 10-book series. We also talk audiobooks, fan fiction, strong female leads, and why fantasy is for everyone, even if you think it’s not.

In this episode of Talkin with Tasha + Trey LOSTCAST, we break down Lost Season 1, Episode 14, “Special,” unpacking complicated family dynamics, emotional backstory, and all the island drama.

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha, I chat with comedy writer and Gold Comedy founder Lynn Harris about her journey from journalism to stand-up to building a platform that helps women and nonbinary creators succeed in comedy.

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha, it's a celebration of some badass women in honor of Women’s History Month. Local Lou tells me about some fascinating, and often overlooked, women who helped shape Sioux Falls. From Louisa Gale’s 1875 reading room that sparked the city’s library system to trailblazers like Winona Lyon and Louisa Mitchell. This episode explores the women behind some of Sioux Falls’ most important institutions. Along the way, we chat about book clubs, libraries, history repeating itself, and why women’s stories deserve more than just a footnote. Oh, and, of course, Heated Rivalry. Enjoy!

In this episode, Trey and I bounce from politics, pop culture, grief, reality TV, and a very messy episode of Lost. We unpack everything from the Epstein files to the enduring comfort of Catherine O’Hara. We discus The Traitors, Olympic season, and then dive headfirst into Lost Season 1, Episode 13, “Hearts and Minds.” Expect sharp observations, sibling-incest discomfort, Locke skepticism, and the kind of tangents that feel like talking with a friend who’s extremely online. Oh, and of course, we still have more to say about Heated Rivalry. Enjoy this episode of Talkin With Tasha!
