Always and Forever | A One Tree Hill Podcast

1.20: What Is and What Should Never Be

Time to pour some beverages into our pink solo cups and start a catfight! During our discussion of S1E20, “What Is and What Should Never Be,” we discuss Brooke and Peyton making amends, Keith’s upcoming move to Charleston, Deb and Karen becoming “partners” (*wink wink*), whether Lucas and Peyton can really be friends, Nathan’s iconic CD player, and of course, the iconic fight between Peyton and Nicki!

1.21: The Leaving Song

Lucas is leaving Tree Hill and Nathan is a porn freak!? In our discussion of S1E21, “The Leaving Song,” we discuss Dan’s increasing complexity, Nathan and Lucas finally bonding, how we would rewrite the porn storyline with Haley trying to pull a Sandra Dee, a nuanced take on Nicki, and Jake leaving town!

1.22: The Games That Play Us

We are at the end of season one! During our discussion of S1E22, “The Games That Play Us,” we chat about all of the bombshells: Deb and Keith sleep together; Brooke stabs Peyton in the back — only for it to be a ploy the two of them cooked up together!; Lucas says goodbye to Tree Hill and receives one of the most emotional speeches from Karen Roe; Dan has a heart attack; and Nathan and Haley....get married!? We also respond to an email from a listener that touches on this show’s lack of diversity and how the show impacted both her (and our) views on love when we were younger.
 
This episode has us pumped for season two! But sadly, we will be taking a short break. Until then, we are planning our season one recap episode and want to hear from you! Send us your questions and comments on absolutely ANYTHING. This can include but is not limited to critiquing our thoughts, questions about our production process, or requests for TV recommendations. Email us at alwaysothpod@gmail.com by March 23!

In our episode on S2E4: You Can’t Always Get What You Want, we unpack Jeremy’s disdain for Felix, the problematic aspect of Andy’s character, and how lovely it is to see Karen and Peyton working together to open an all-ages club (do these clubs actually exist though?!).

In our episode on S2E5: I Will Dare, Kaitlyn’s friend Jenna Lenskold returns as a special guest!

Together, we unpack the new characters, all of the different dares, Nathan and Tim’s changing friendship, and Peyton’s inner struggles and trust issues. We also discuss if we would want an OTH reboot, swoon over peak OTH codas, and contemplate Jeremy and Jenna’s favorite quote of the episode about if it’s more important to know who a person used to be or who they are trying to be.
