    Laguna to The Hills
    I loved this show and the hills. Massive part of my college days and late high school. I still rewatch them atleast once a year. Fond memories.
  • AEL96
    Very Well Done
    This was a great podcast- organized, consistent, gave useful insight to the show. I wish Kiristin would do one for The Hills!

    MY NEW FAVORITE PODCAST!
    I loved the show back in high school and It’s so great to hear these two together again talking about the show.
  • Meghan20234
    So much explaining
    Yes we know mtv manipulated story lines…we got it.
  • koolidad
    LOVE the show, not a fan of the pod.
    Stephen does WAY too much explaining himself, nobody thinks poorly of him bc of what he did 20 years ago😭 they both linger too much but love them sm
  • Meme89345
    Best duo
    I love this so much. I hope they do other pods together. It could be about anything and I would listen!!
  • Haze8098
    New view
    I have to say watching this back and listening to the podcast I have a new view on the show. I really like Kristen now and I was team Lauren back in the day! I think everyone was just portrayed for a tv show and was young! I am also really enjoying listening to Steven and learning his personality more! Great podcast!
  • aerispoli
    Surprisingly
    Really good
  • Laur4391
    I feel like the final chapter of LB is now finished
    I had so much fun listening to this and reliving my own high school mems watching this show with my girlfriends during sleepovers on school nights. I gotta say - Kristin and Stephen still have chemistry together.. wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve hooked up as adults haha
  • rae24rae
    Good memories but Stephen…
    It’s so fun to get the inside scoop on what really happened. But Stephen talks way too much, and repeats himself a lot. He must have said he was a “naive little boy” 20 times in the first few episodes. I would love for him to give more space for Kristin and the guests to talk.
  • jackiequiroahernandez
    Love it thank you!!!
    I’m so happy i got to watch the show and listen to the podcast, this was my favorite show growing up it was awesome knowing the truth behind everything, thank you for making the podcast and getting our doubts answered. 💜💜
  • TOM SACKS
    This is awesome !
    So happy they did this , brings back my high school years because I am around the same age as these guys. I used to love Laguna Beach and this is a great idea to do a behind the scenes type of thing, great idea ! I will be listening to every episode
  • Kyleigh_H
    The best!
    Kristin and Stephen were highlights of my teenage years! Laguna Beach was everyone’s favorite show. It is so awesome they went back in time for this podcast. I loved every moment!
  • Also Lauren
    Obsessed
    Loved it!!! So fun to go back and watch the episodes and then listen to the podcast. Recommending to all my friends who watched the show back in the day.
  • Photogeek 23
    Love it!!
    Definitely brings back memories and you guys definitely have me laughing! I love it. Thank you for bringing this podcast! Love you guys!
  • MovieWatcherNYC23
    First watch!
    This is a fun podcast because I had never watched the show before & it’s a good companion to it. I’m glad that they still have a good relationship! But I eyerolled Jason’s hero edit a bit. Apparently he found the importance of worshipping God but also… the Trump family.
  • Debba25
    Well done
    Enjoyed the look back on a great show. You two should do more podcasts together!
  • JeannaK23
    Don’t go!
    This is my first ever podcast review! PLEASE come back and do season 3! It would be interesting to see your perspective!!! Great show! Great people! Great podcast!
  • mom4mjj
    Enjoyed
    Post seasons are very entertaining. Thank you
  • Bebe4852
    Give us more
    I almost don’t want to listen to the final episode because I am so sad this is over ! Please come back with more of something! You guys are amazing! Thank you for doing this.
  • GoldenMoonlight:)
    Loved the series, but
    STEPHAN LEARN TO BE QUIET! I wanted to hear more of Kristin but good lord my dude, it’s high school - why are you still so passionate about it lol let it go bro! You signed up for this show, live with it! Kristin, you cracked me up then, you crack me up now - seeing you thriving in life, you need to do more podcasts on your own (minus the drama baggage)
  • TaylorSs93
    Enjoyable but mostly them flirting
    Fun to hear some of the background but geez these two need to get a room. It’s a little cringey the vibe between them (but also adorable). Hard to decide if I like or dislike it.
  • Heather7896
    LOVE
    I was obsessed with this show and podcast. Love the people you have become today! You are both killing it! So glad you chose to do this and explain everything in detail for us to understand the filming of this show.
  • kattttattttack
    Stephen needs to do more listening and less talking
    I loved the show, until I realized that Stephen is a terrible listener. He talks and talks and talks. I would love to hear more of Kristin’s take. Stephen, please learn to be a better listener. It would make the podcast more enjoyable.
  • zone_san
    Season 3?
    Please don’t end the podcast back to the beach. So sad the final episode. Continue the show and do pop culture and reality in relations to being in reality. Would love both Stephen and you to continue making this podcast diversifying the content now that episodes are all covered! Make your own tequila !!!!! 🍋🍋
  • Ninadollhouse

  • nicoleplcs
    Amazing!
    I loved every episode! Stephen and Kristen did amazing! I hate that it’s over.
  • JoyceGarcia09
    Come back!!
    This takes me back I love y’all.. it’s also so hilarious to hear all of the inconsistencies of MTV’s editing it literally makes me go back and re-watch the episodes to see if I catch them! 10/10 recommend this series!!
  • SamJamthankyoumaam8
    I will miss this podcast!
    This has been such a fun walk down memory lane. This show was a huge part of my high school experience and it has been so lovely reliving it through this podcast. Thank you for doing it!
  • Noo126
    Enjoyed!
    Wish it wasn’t over!! What do I listen to now??
  • Jewel Addict
    Amazing podcast
    Great job on this podcast! Really love the dynamic between Stephen and Kristin! All the guests were great especially Talon and Jason! Absolutely freaked when Lauren came on! So good! I will miss this podcast so much!
  • RaraM222
    No podcast will ever come close to this genius!
    I am so sad this is over. I looked forward to every Tuesday when a new episode dropped and it never failed to brighten my work day. The chemistry and banter between Kristen and Steven is as good as it ever was and they relived the show with the perfect mix of humor and self-deprecation. This is laugh out loud funny but never cruel and the highlight will always be the episode reuniting Steven and Kristen with Lauren. Thank you so much for this podcast- the only downside is I am now spoiled in podcasts forever as nothing will come close to this one!
  • 2AliciaBV2
    Season 3!!!
    I’ve noticed there is no season 3… I remember watching it back in the day, but couldn’t find it … bring back season 3!!! I think you should talk to season 3 cast
  • MegP89
    Wishing for more
    Really loved this recap and I'm sad it's ending. Thank you both for doing this!
  • 1990KDS
    Love, Love, Love
    I grew up watching Laguna Beach when it came on MTV. I was 14/15 and thought it was the coolest show. Listening to you both go back and talk about scenes and chatting with other cast members has been so fun!! One of my favorite podcasts!! You both have amazing chemistry and the show just flows bc of it. I hate to see the show end, but y ‘all were great!!!
  • addyon mae
    First podcast I have ever listened to religiously
    It takes me back! Those of us who grew up in the “laguna beach” era needed these two to do this , more than we knew it! 10/10, 5 stars, and all the things!
  • BBYHeart24
    Simply amazing
    I watched the show as I myself was a teenager and in high school & completely loved you guys! This has been so awesome! getting all of the real details of what really happened! You guys did such a great job with the interviews and also recapping memories from the show. Hope you guys can continue doing a podcast together or maybe just interview other people from other reality shows, you guys are such a vibe and I love to just listen to you guys and laugh along with you guys! Great Job!
  • MecheConLeche
    Love the show!
    I know y’all guys aren’t on Season 3 but will y’all recap it with people from the show. I love that y’all brought people onto the show as well. Will y’all have more episodes with more cast mates? The people want it!
  • Haherj90
    BEST PODCAST
    I love you guys!!! This podcast has been so amazing and fun! I know y’all aren’t doing season 3 but y’all should keep doing some type of podcast together! Love all of the recaps!
  • TeamLCandKristin
    Love it!!
    As a die hard LB and Hills fan when I first heard this podcast was launching I was so excited!! Thankful that Stephen and Kristin took the time to really give behind the scenes info on each ep (at least from what they could remember😂). Despite everything they have dealt with due to the show, both positive and negative, it is great to see all the OG LB members use those moments to their benefit as something to learn from and learn about themselves ultimately. This podcast shows the growth of the members and their raw honest thoughts. It flew by so fast!! Please do The Hills. Well I guess it wouldn’t make sense since Lauren is the main, buttttttt Kristin could always just do the seasons she’s a part of ;)
  • shaine234
    OBSESSED
    Not ready for this to end! Please cover season 3
  • Hellocarol624
    Steven stop w/ the IRL talk
    Kristin is fantastic so I gave you 5 stars but Steven stop saying IRL It’s so annoying and cringe
  • becca sara
    Season 3
    I know you guys aren’t on season three. Will you cover it though?
  • samiam102077
    Annoying
    Dear Stephen, Please stop saying a “real IRL moment.” Thank you, Everyone
  • Loladubz
    Classy
    I love the detailed review, it’s great rewatching it. I really appreciate that they both talk about the drama and give real feelings but not bash Lauren in the process. Heidi could take a lesson!
  • coffeelover9753
    Steven for the love of god clear your throat
    It constantly sounds like you need to hawk a loogie
  • KayBd91
    Should be called The Stephen show
    If you’re interested in hearing Stephen talk nonstop and make a million excuses, this is the podcast for you. Dude LOVES the sound of his own voice. He over-explains every little thing and seems like kind of a know-it-all. Kristin is good but she doesn’t get to contribute much due to Stephen hogging all the airtime.
