Episode notes

This week on Welcome to the Poddy, Clay kicks things off with an update on the NBA Playoffs before diving headfirst into the dramatic, sun-drenched world of The OC (now streaming on 9Now). Paired with a classy combo of wine and cheese, Clay dishes out a nostalgic yet brutally honest review of the iconic teen soap—rating it 7.5/10 manipulative teenagers.

Expect hot takes on being broke in a rich school, the pain of being blogged about, and the eternal "will they, won't they" tension that defined a generation. Plus, Clay shares some all-too-relatable personal stories sparked by the show’s themes, all served with his signature comedic twist.

If you're a fan of TV show reviews, pop culture deep dives, and funny stories with a dose of self-deprecation, this episode is for you.
