The Outlander Podcast­

In this episode, we discuss recent announcements, a Q&A w/ Matt B. Roberts, and continue with our read-along, Chapter 17: "We Meet a Beggar." Tally: 8 Note: There is a potential spoiler regarding a very controversial scene in “Outlander.” We say, “spoiler alert” in the podcast, so you will be able to skip over it, if you like.

In this episode, we get to the nitty gritty: our recounting of the night’s events, what we saw, whom we met, and a little bit about Sam, Caitriona, Sam, and, of course, Sam. Truly, we want to thank every single person at Starz, Sony, and DirecTV for making this such a wonderful event. This was the chance of a lifetime, and one we will not soon forget. Correction: Alicia Quarles is with E! News, not Entertainment Weekly (EW). In our happiness with the recent EW "Outlander" spread, we smooshed these two entertainment media outlets together. Our error.

Let’s be honest: This week’s episode was too much goodness to fit into one. We decided to split it into a pre-LA Fan Event episode and a post-LA Fan Event episode. Part I includes announcements (pretty much photos from the previous week) and discussion about our arrival in LA, our spooky hotel, and our excitement the night before the event. (Wine was drunk, and the mmph tally did not change.)

Tally: 5
