Podcasts Hosted by Teen Drama Stars
Our teen drama stars host more than just rewatch podcasts.
In fact, a number of cast members lead weekly podcasts about a range of topics. From self-enrichment (“I Choose Me”) to middle school confessions (“Podcrushed”) to even true crime (“It Couldn’t Happen Here”), there’s something for almost every taste. You may not even known some of these podcasts existed… or that some of them were discontinued.
Below, you’ll find a complete list, along with links to each podcast’s Apple Podcasts page.
The usual caveats apply: This list only focuses on series regulars for the core six teen dramas — “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Dawson’s Creek,” “The O.C.,” “One Tree Hill,” “Gossip Girl,” and “90210.”

I’ll admit it: Of all the podcasts on this list, I’ve only listened to the rewatch ones weekly. Some of the other podcasts I’ve never listened to at all (gasp!). Frankly, there are only so many hours in the day — and too many podcasts (and books and movies and TV shows), too little time.
No doubt your time is limited and precious too. But odds are, there’s a podcast on this list that you haven’t listened to but would absolutely love if you just gave it a chance. Grab those earbuds and let me know which podcast captures your interest.
