Being Felicity With Keri Russell and Scott Speedman (Eps. 101-102)

The cast, crew, executives, and fans of Felicity revisit the show 25 years after its premiere on The WB to discuss why the show remains a cultural touchstone and what made that moment in the history of television particularly unique. Rather than going episode-by-episode, Dear Felicity episodes will cover themes and story arcs as a way to have broader conversations about Felicity, The WB, the careers of those involved, and how the TV business functioned. The podcast will largely follow the tv show’s chronology.

TV & Film

As Felicity nears the end of her third semester, she finds herself again torn between two guys, but one point on the triangle is different this time. Juliet and Mandy talk about Felicity’s relationship, how the dog factors into it, and Ben’s fling. Then, Amy Smart joins the show to talk about playing Ruby and memories of her time on the show. Finally, Season 2 line producer Mychelle Deschamps joins to talk about the day-to-day realities of how TV is made, and it's an illuminating conversation for TV junkies.

Inside the Writers Room With Josh Reims and Larry Trilling (Eps. 204-205)

JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, Keri Russell, and Scott Speedman are all throughout the episode, as well as critics, including Michael Ausiello and Willa Paskin, executive Susanne Daniels, and many more voices.
