LOST, Anyone?

It's been way too long since LOST has been on the air. In fact, it's been soo long that we really haven't had much of a reason to do a podcast. We'll do some sort of podcast prior to the season starting again... at least to get everyone caught up with where we left off, and what's to com. It probably won't be until after the holidays, around the first of the year...
