Outlander Cast is Mary & Blake’s full-spoiler Outlander podcast, with episode recaps and reactions, listener feedback, character and story analysis, interviews, and coverage of both Outlander and Outlander: Blood of My Blood.
For years, Mary & Blake have been pulling up a chair after each episode to talk about Jamie and Claire, love and time travel, character choices, performances, music, adaptation, story craft, and the occasional piece of absolute narrative nonsense. This is the home of the Outlander Cast podcast archive and the place to find our newest episodes.
Spoiler policy: We are spoiler-free for the books, but we go full spoilers for the television episode we’re covering.
