Caitlin and Alan watch Lockwood & Co. We talk about everything we love about these ghost-hunting teens, and the fascinating world they are trapped in.
The podcast The Problem: A Lockwood and Co Podcast is created by Hallowed Ground Media. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
Caitlin and Alan put on their Ghost CSI Monster INC suits and finish The Creeping Shadow! We wish Carlyle and Skull would happen, but we are grateful Lockwood and Co is back. We debate who the unexpected visitor is, ponder how old the protagonists of another Jonathan Stroud series are, and have a flashback to the Lockwood and Co TV show.

Caitlin and Alan pull off a heist. OK maybe we don’t exactly pull it off. And by heist we mean- do a podcast about a book. But we do manage to discuss how Kipps has been sworn into all the secrets, Lucy wants ghost experiments to stop, and Lockwood can’t be stopped. Confessions are made, spirit cloaks are worn, and portals are entered.

Caitlin and Alan put on some goggles to see ghosts, then smash a matchstick ship model, and meet with a captain of industry. There is a lot of energy flying around… and it is compensating for- something. We get deep about possible time travel, but make time for ghost lore.

Caitlin and Alan find Portland Row has changed. Lucy’s room has George’s clothes everywhere, Lockwood wants Lucy to explore Jessica’s forbidden room, and the first Type Two we met is now named Abigail Ward. Errr actually no. No she is not. We also learn that being 40 is ancient and obviously it is good that Lockwood is opening up to Holly. Obviously.

Caitlin and Alan talk about mystery stories as Carlyle and Skull get very hardboiled. Grab a jacket potato and join the hunt for Skull’s kidnappers. We case the meeting place and get into a foot chase- well Lucy did because we don’t have the energy for all that. At least we get to return to 35 Portland Row.

Caitlin and Alan look in a mirror to start reading The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud. We debate the nature of time, the mummification of severed heads (hey it’s an honest living!), and how infuriating the concept of demerits is. Lucy and Skull are in business for themselves, but life is hard without Lockwood and Co.

Caitlin and Alan wrap up the first season of Lockwood & Co with “Not the Eternal.” Is it a window or a mirror? Have we lost our Talents? Are we reckless enough? We have a great time in the graveyard, and bring season one to a close.

Caitlin and Alan can’t believe how much story is packed into “You Never Asked.” We roll up our sleeves and go to a party. Lockwood is repressing, George is lying, Lucy is shopping, and Skull is being chatty. Follow our map to the library as we explain it all.

Caitlin and Alan strap into some electric chairs and watch “Death is Coming.” Did George go on a date with Pamela Joplin? What happened to the whole day? What is happening in the cafe? Lockwood is making terrible choices but it all okay because Flo Bones is here!

Caitlin and Alan review “Sweet Dreams” where Lockwood becomes nearly unbearable. Brutal arguments make us upset. Adults are being slimy and terrible. But a visit from the doctor helps to soothe our wounds. Time to visit a graveyard!
