I'm not sure if many of you know of or are even aware of the fact that Lost produces its own official Podcast which they post occasionally. These Podcasts usual are cast interviews, question and answer, the break down of episodes, general stuff. (if you're not sure of what a Podcast is, its basically a recorded radio (and sometimes video) shows. You can download them for free from the Itunes music store. The good news is you don't have to have an ipod to play them either, just itunes) ANWAYS, i was listening to the "Lockdown" Podcast earlier today (the Podcast was posted on March 28th, so prior to Lockdown). I found this interesting, let me know what you think:

(this is word for word (minus all the umm's and ahh's of course) that i dictated. The men speaking are David Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Executive Producers of Lost)

"We're involved in a project which is going to involve the internet that's going to start in May. But you're gonna have to watch the show, and not just the show, but what happens in between the show--between the acts of the show--fairly carefully in order to sort of begin the path in what we're calling an experience. And this internet experience will acutally be launched during one of the shows in May, and will be a pathway that will lead to a lot of information about the show that we're not gonna get to on the show. But its not just behind the scene stuff either. Its like, real mythology, cool story telling; which will hopefully in some degree satisfy the desire for new material for Lost over the summer. During that period of time when the show is down before we start the next season, were actually going to be telling some Lost stories."

I realize this isn't the best writing ever, but i had to dictate it from only hearing it into actual print.

What do ya'll think? I'm curious HOW they will introduce this material to us, and if it will be easily caught and understood. I would hate to miss it once, and then not be let in on this whole Lost Experience thing. I doubt it'll go unnoticed for long, but still! It just sounds like they'll have a lot of information up there, probably nothing which develops the story overall a lot, but just fills in the blanks. And then in the summer, they'll have enough stuff on there to keep us interested...thus allowing us to function and not go insane. Just thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

Hey I think thats pretty awesome, I would love to watch LOST webisodes. I think Ill be WOO HOO'n over that.

yeah that sounds cool, would be very instressed in that.

I don't like the whole "...a lot of information about the show that we're not gonna get to on the show." Does that mean... what does that mean? The show is gonna end abruptly? The story lines wont all get tied up? They already know when the show will go off-air? Sounds scary.

I think they're meaning more mythological stuff. Obviously, even if they had 15 seasons, they wouldn't be able to get to all of the stuff they would want to. This is just gonna be an outlet to get some of this information to the viewers. In my mind, the producers aren't going to post anything that will make the show "un-follow-able" for those who simply watch the show but don't go online. No worries

Please dont scare me like that ever again!

Sounds like they're going to give us something to do over the summer so us internet Losties won't be complaining about no new lost. Maybe give us some answers to things like what all the other Losties are doing, how did Bernard end up in a tree, how do all the Losties seem to know what's going on, but we don't see them conversing, what's the background for the Black Rock, etc. I doubt it will be anything major, cos they'll save that for the TV show.

I think it sounds cool.
