This week on Talkin With Tasha + Trey LOSTCAST, we’re recapping “Numbers” from Season 1, Episode 18. Hurley wins the lottery, but the numbers seem more like a curse than a blessing. Is Hurley bad luck? We learn a little more about Rousseau’s mysterious transmission and we’re slowly but surely, getting back to the hatch. Plus, as always, we take a few tangents along the way to discuss cruises, Survivor, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas!

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, 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!
