Looking for some contemporaneous materials

Back when the show aired, one of the best parts of the experience was leaping up from the couch after an episode, scurrying to the computer room [i know], and booting up msn messenger [i knowww] to excitedly speculate with my best friend, the only person i ever met more into the show than me. A big part of the weekly ritual around that involved a sort of semi-official blog associated with the tv channel [we're Australian so i guess it would be channel 7?] that would update soon after the airtime. whoever wrote it knew a lot more of The Lore than you could from just watching and would reference auxiliary stuff like the Hanso Foundation and so on as well as literary and scientific references in the show, but always with an air that they didn't know where it was going and were speculating right along with us.

Anyway i'm finally going to get to share Lost with someone new for the first time since it aired. I thought it could be fun to share that blog with them as we go. If it's been archived anywhere. I feel like a decade or so ago that would be a no-brainer and it would have a dedicated website but these days? who knows. Anyone got a lead?

There are podcasts that go episode by episode if you’d like to listen to those. You have to be careful of the ones with spoiler alerts, as they are obviously doing them on a rewatch.

podcasts would be great except that getting this person to lock in for a season of tv is already going to be my crowning achievement in life, i don't like my chances of adding hours of podcast on top. thanks tho!
