Talkin With Tasha

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha: LOSTCAST, Trey and I recap Lost Season 1, Episode 15, “Homecoming.” From Claire’s mysterious return and memory loss to Charlie’s emotional spiral and shocking final decision, we break down all the chaos on the island.

In this episode of Talkin with Tasha + Trey LOSTCAST, we break down Lost Season 1, Episode 14, “Special,” unpacking complicated family dynamics, emotional backstory, and all the island drama. You might even get a quick vocabulary lesson. But of course, we sprinkle in a little internet chaos, a little pop culture, and a lot of opinions. We talk “Bro Cruise” and Manosphere, and you know I still sneak in some Heated Rivalry chat!

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha, I chat with comedy writer and Gold Comedy founder Lynn Harris about her journey from journalism to stand-up to building a platform that helps women and nonbinary creators succeed in comedy. We talk about the power of humor to spark change, the importance of community in creative work and how Lynn is helping reshape the comedy space. Plus, we get into plenty of pop culture stuff. From The Real World to drag queens, and even her unexpected stint as a Tonya Harding lookalike in the ‘90s.

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!

In this episode I am joined by veteran entertainment critic, Bruce Miller for a spirited, no-holds-barred breakdown of this year’s Oscar race.

Along the way, we also chat about the Winter Olympics, musicals, TV, and all things entertainment.

In this episode, Trey and I bounce from politics, pop culture, grief, reality TV, and a very messy episode of Lost. We unpack everything from the Epstein files to the enduring comfort of Catherine O’Hara. We discus The Traitors, Olympic season, and then dive headfirst into Lost Season 1, Episode 13, “Hearts and Minds.” Expect sharp observations, sibling-incest discomfort, Locke skepticism, and the kind of tangents that feel like talking with a friend who’s extremely online. Oh, and of course, we still have more to say about Heated Rivalry. Enjoy this episode of Talkin With Tasha!

In this first episode of 2026, Trey and I kick off the new year with a riveting Lost recap complete with pop culture tangents and queer TV discourse. From Stranger Things feelings to Heated Rivalry obsession, we cover representation, consent, hot hockey players, and why everyone on the island somehow has perfect grooming. This episode covers Lost Season 1, Episode 12 (Whatever the Case May Be), unpacking Kate’s secrets, Sawyer’s jeans, and Shannon’s underrated brilliance. Spoilers, side quests, and strong opinions included.

In this special Christmas Eve episode, I am joined once again by French Fan Patrick to compare Christmas traditions in the U.S. and France. From when decorations go up and Elf on the Shelf to Christmas movies, food, gift-giving, and holiday markets. We break down what’s the same, what’s different, and what each culture finds a little weird about the other. So many festive moments in this episode! It's a fun holiday culture swap you won’t want to miss. 🎄

In this episode of Talkin with Tasha + Trey LOSTCAST, Trey and I break down Lost Season 1, Episode 11, "All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues." It's an episode full of bad decisions and bad dads. Jack’s unraveling, Ethan’s lurking, Locke is still creepy, and Charlie? Well, Charlie is going through it. We also somehow manage to review Wicked, talk reality TV casting, and spiral into Boy Meets World–Blue’s Clues–porn star lore. It’s chaos. Won't you join us?

In this heartfelt episode of "Talkin with Tasha," I welcome my good friend, Jenifer Wollman to share her incredible journey of adoption and family connections.

We explore themes of adoption, identity, and the powerful bonds that shape our lives.

In this episode, Trey and I are back and this time we're dissecting LOST Season 1, Episode 10, “Raised by Another.” Claire’s having nightmares, there’s a sketchy psychic, and surprise, someone on the island isn’t who they say they are. But, of course, we throw in some pop culture tangents, spooky season chat, and we contemplate what makes a soup a soup. It’s another hilarious deep dive into the island drama. Enjoy!

In this episode, I chat with Sioux Falls content creator Wanderer Nicole about self-confidence, sustainable style, and building an authentic presence online. Nicole shares her journey from body insecurity to body positivity, her thoughts on influencer culture, and how she balances creativity with real life. It’s an honest, funny, and encouraging conversation about fashion, confidence, and finding joy in being yourself. Plus, a couple TV show recommendations because I can't help myself.

Trey and I are back with another episode of LOSTCAST. This week we are discussing Lost Season 1, Episode 9: “Solitary.” We've got Sayid’s haunting backstory and his run-in with a French woman in the jungle. Our list of island questions just keeps growing! There’s plenty to unpack. Of course, it wouldn’t be a LOSTCAST without detours into Severance, Project Runway, Lady Gaga concerts, surprise tattoos, and more.

Trey and I are back...finally. To make up for our absence, we are covering it all this week: Project Runway hot takes, Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, and, of course,  Lost Season 1, Episode 8: Confidence Man. From Sawyer’s cons and complicated past to peanut butter and eucalyptus, LOSTCAST is back with plenty of laughs and side tangents along the way.

Along the way, we will also discuss respectful foot fetishes, shady morticians, and vintage game show tangents. What more could you want?

In this episode, Trey and I dive into Lost Season 1, Episode 6 — “House of the Rising Sun.” This one’s coming to you a day late, lightly edited, and featuring what might be my most unhinged intro and outro to date. Late-night recording was a choice. I’m honestly not sure what I said. Buckle up and enjoy the chaos!

In this episode, I chat with Chef April Johnson about all the good stuff: food (obviously), her journey as a chef, what it’s like to compete, opening a restaurant, and whether she’d ever jump into the world of reality cooking shows.

In this episode, Trey and I break down Season 1, Episode 5 of Lost, but, as usual, we take a few (okay, a lot of) detours. We also discuss teeth, Glee, the new Pope, Diddy, The Last of Us, The Handmaid’s Tale, Hacks, and even loose meat sandwiches!

I know some of you are big fans! Then, I’m joined by Dr. Payton Birkel, chiropractor and owner of Resilience Chiropractic & Rehab in Sioux Falls, SD. Thanks again for being part of this journey!

In this episode, Trey and I dive back into Lost with a rewatch and recap of Episode 4: Walkabout. But as always, we take a few detours—into yoga, Zumba, whether or not you should wash your legs, lotion habits, jury duty, and even Lady Gaga. Yes, all that while talking about Lost. It's a wild blend of TV talk, pop culture hot takes, and personal stories. This episode has it all!

In this episode, Local Lou and I conclude our discussion about Vanished in Vermillion, the gripping true crime book selected as this year’s One Book Siouxland by the Siouxland Libraries.
