The OC Show Podcast Launching With Rachel Bilson & Melinda Clarke As Hosts

The OC stars Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke are set to host a podcast about the show. Created by Josh Schwartz, The OC was a teen drama that aired on Fox from 2003 until 2007. Set in Orange County, California, the series focused on the character of Ryan Atwood (Ben McKenzie). A troubled teen from a broken home, Ryan is eventually adopted by Sandy (Peter Gallagher) and Kirsten Cohen (Kelly Rowan), moving to live in the couple’s opulent home. Touching on questions of class dynamics and beginning with the aim of lightly skewering the tropes of its genre, the show rapidly gained a massive following. It turned the cast, including Adam Brody and Mischa Barton, into overnight sensations.

The OC ended after season 4, but it has remained in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to its fast-moving and often outlandish storylines. The drama has also remained popular, thanks to its central romances and distinctive main characters. Bilson, who played Summer Roberts on the show, and Clarke, who starred as Julie Cooper, plan to explore all of it in a forthcoming podcast.

According to Deadline, Bilson and Clarke will reunite to host Welcome to The OC, Bitches!. The podcast, which takes its name from one of the teen drama’s most memorable quotes, hails from Kast Media. Set to premiere on April 27, the podcast will consist of over 100 episodes and it’ll feature a diverse lineup of guests. Some of the names that have been announced include Gallagher and Schwartz. The podcast will also speak to sociologists about the show’s lasting impact. Episodes of the audio series will also be available on YouTube.

In a trailer for the upcoming podcast, which can be found on Apple Podcasts and various other platforms, Clarke and Bilson offer a hint of what listeners can expect to hear. The hosts promise to delve into one specific episode each week, looking back at all the factors and participants that made The OC a success. Clarke also teased that they’d be peeling back the curtain on some of the gossip that occurred behind the scenes. With the teen drama streaming on HBO Max, and rumors of a revival constantly swirling, candid discussions and recollections will only add to the intrigue. Even though more than a decade has passed since the series concluded, the cast is still asked about their characters. Brody, in particular, is routinely asked about the legacy of Seth Cohen while promoting other projects. It serves as a sign that the show still has a dedicated fanbase.

It will be interesting, as well, to see how the conversations shift as Bilson and Clarke discuss the middle seasons. The OC does have the distinction of starting strong and finishing strong, according to most viewers. Still, in its second and third installments was criticized for leaning too heavily into the sort of melodrama that would inspire a classic SNL sketch. With the benefit of hindsight, and considering the number of episodes, fans may very well learn more about a teen drama with a relatively short lifespan that nonetheless left a huge impact.
