Dawson's Speak: A Podcast About Dawson's Creek

In which two ships end and one begins: Pacey and Joey implode, Dawson and Gretchen finish the break-up they didn't finish the episode before, Dawson and Joey continue their toxic friendship, and Jack and Tobey find a possible happily ever after. Plus, Traci and Charles discuss weird snack foods and why prom on a boat is bad idea.

Happy 2019! We're back and one-half of us is sick, so let's look at this as a transition episode. Gail has her baby, Joey thinks she might be pregnant, and Tobey becomes the victim of an alleged hate crime. Also, we have new designs in our merch shop AND Charles has finally started watching "The Office"! All good things to kick off the year (except for Traci's cold).

Traci and Charles answer your questions about "Dawson's Creek," journalism, corn muffins, and more. Predictions are made, Funyuns are discussed, and we even have some podcast recommendations for you to end the year right since we're taking a 2-week break for the holidays! (And no, we're not dating - stop asking.)

SORRY ABOUT THE INCONSISTENT AUDIO QUALITY :( Traci and Charles follow our Capeside pals on Senior Ditch Day as Jen and Joey go to New York for Jen to confront her father, Dawson and Gretchen get stranded due to a flat tire, and Pacey and Drue end up drinking (and in trouble). 

We're back! Traci and Charles return from Thanksgiving break to talk about "high key famous" teachers, college financial aid woes (poor Joey), and what not to do with $15,000 (spoiler alert: #DawsonsCreekTaughtMe to put more than 5 minutes of thought into just giving it away). Also, we start feeling complicated feelings about Drue Valentine. 

Time to play some mind games! Dawson/Joey/Pacey/Gretchen get into even more of a tangled web, and Jen and Jack end up following around Jen's therapist. Basically, #DawsonsCreekTaughtMe not to stalk medical professionals.

The episode title is very literal this week: there are four stories and we're gonna talk about 'em. Pacey and Joey deal with "the morning after," Dawson realizes he's more similar to Brooks than he already knew, Jen goes to therapy, and Dawson and Joey reconnect as friends (sort of). Traci and Charles also discuss insights learned from listeners and makes advanced apologies for continuing to be frustrated. 

Death, snow, and sex – the perfect recipe for an extra soapy episode of this soapy teen drama. In Capeside, Dawson has to make a choice about Mr. Brooks' life, while in Vermont (we think), Joey has a choice to make about intimacy. Also, Jack and Jen get drunk and make out. Is this what winters in high school are supposed to be like??

Is Dawson and Gretchen's relationship hopeless? There seems to be some doubts this episode as their age difference becomes a bit more noticeable than they'd both like. Also... what's the trouble with "nice guys"? Traci and Charles discuss why nice guys probably *don't* finish last. Plus, Joey and Pacey are off on a terrible double date, and Mr. Brooks has been hoarding his medication – which leads to a dire situation. 

Traci and Charles discuss an unfortunate breach in the #NoSpoilersForCharles barricade – plus, it's time for a party! A pretty terrible party, to be honest! Pacey turns 18 and has a surprise party thrust upon him, Dawson and Gretchen end up making out in the Witter basement, and Jen and Tobey drive drunk kids home. It's a lot to deal with and we just want everyone to be happy.

Dawson learns a lesson about fate and growth and we are here for it. Gretchen also goes to retrieve her car and say goodbye to her ex-boyfriend, and Joey and Drue get trapped in a storage closet. Also, we'd watch "Gretchen's Creek" in a heartbeat.

Happy holidays...again. Traci and Charles realize they may no longer love Joey, both decide they really don't like Tobey, and make an exciting announcement about *drumroll* Dawson's Speak/Dawson's Creek MERCH!  

The holidays have arrived in Capeside! Traci and Charles slowly realize the things that annoyed them about Dawson have become things that now annoy them about Joey as Dawson struggles to articulate why he wants to be a filmmaker and Joey feels below-average at a networking dinner where Pacey seamlessly fits in. Also: MISTLETOE!

There's a mystery to be solved! And it involves a dog! Dawson, Pacey, and Jack become the prime suspects for a class prank, but each has an alibi that supposedly takes them out of the scene of the crime. Guess it's up to karmic energy to take care of the rest... Also: Charles spoiled something for himself. Sigh.

We're in for a somber episode as we say goodbye to two McPhees. Also, Traci and Charles discuss reconciliations as everyone comes together to see Andie off on her Italy adventure. 

There's a rave and things go very, very bad. The more you know! Andie gets into Harvard but is having trouble feeling happy, Jen continues to battle her inner demons (and outer ones - hello, Drue), Dawson and Gretchen get closer and possibly spark a bit of jealousy in Joey's heart, and Mitch and Gail decide to have the baby. Also, Traci and Charles discuss "Legally Blonde." It's a packed episode.

"Something had to happen at some point." Gail is pregnant, Gretchen's secret comes out, Jack deals with more bigotry, and Joey and Pacey wrestle with taking their relationship to the next level. This episode certainly felt like getting hit in the face with a bag of molasses!

Everyone's freaking out about college, Drue throws Jen a fake birthday party, and drunk Joey makes another appearance. Also, Gretchen continues to be mysterious and #DawsonsCreekTaughtMe to not fall into the ocean. Oh! And Paula Cole might be putting out new music soon! 

AKA "THE STORM"! Things stay dramatic in Capeside as a giant tempest threatens True Love. Meanwhile, Dawson and Pacey's friendship continues to be on the rocks, Andie deals with a tough college interview, and Grams keeps on kicking butt -- or, at least, threatens to. Plus, Traci gets to talk about Shakespeare and is very excited about it (sorry).

Happiness appears to be elusive these days in Capeside as Pacey and Joey struggle to communicate, Jack finds himself in the middle of Jen and Henry's breakup, and Dawson wrestles with his involvement in his former bff's life. Also, a new character appears! What do you all think of Drue Valentine?
