Finding Felicity is a podcast where Pomonok Entertainment’s Teresa Jusino, a Felicity newbie, chats with rotating guest co-hosts who are already Felicity fans to talk about life, love, and growing up – no matter how old you are – through the lens of this coming-of-age television drama created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves. Episode 11 of Finding Felicity is titled ‘Gimme An ‘O!’’ (Or, ‘Nothing Sexier Than a Planner’), and this week we talk about Felicity approaching her first sexual experience in the most focused and goal-oriented way possible, Julie and Ben getting closer, and the fact that they really need to start writing Elena better on this show. PS – Noel is still trash. This week, Teresa breaks the format a little by having another Felicity newbie as a guest co-host! Theater director, producer and writer, Kate Motzenbacker started watching the show along with Finding Felicity! Now, she’s bringing her experience as a sex educator to the podcast, and the two talk about Felicity and Noel, their own “first times,” and the fact that “virginity” is a useless (and harmful) construct.
