Explaining the goal of the podcast, to share “behind-the-scenes stories” and the “context” behind things, which “has been the most sort of healing and empowering,” she’s “reached the end of my behind-the-scenes experience on the show” and “started to question what I brought to this, but also how we keep that storytelling alive and important.”
“And so as we head into Seasons 7 through 9, it was important that we introduced a new queen who could take over for me,” she teased.
While she’s “still gonna pop in here and there,” they wanted to find a new host “who represented the same things that I’ve brought to this show.”
The new host is Robert Buckley, who joined One Tree Hill in Season 7 as Clay Evans, the sports agent to Nathan (James Lafferty) who marries Quinn (Shantel VanSanten).
“We are so thrilled to have Robert joining us on this journey and we are so excited to watch alongside him!! New episode is out now on all platforms! ????” the podcast captioned a post on social media. Listen to it inside!
