Outlander Cast: The Outlander Podcast With Mary & Blake

Outlander 8.09 Listener Feedback: "Pharos"

June 21, 2026·53 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Mary & Blake discuss listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 9, "Pharos." In this episode, we break down the fandom response to Lord John Grey's big hour, Jamie and William's rescue mission, Richardson being revealed as a time traveler, Claire letting him go, Amaranthus feeling like filler, and the anxiety everyone is feeling heading into the Outlander series finale. We also discuss why David Berry continues to shine, whether the Lord John/Jamie chess scene delivered the emotional payoff Season 8 needed, why some listeners loved "Pharos" while others felt underwhelmed, and how the show may or may not land the ending after more than a decade of story. Plus, Mary recovers from her pomegranate-fizz-fueled recap energy, listener voicemails travel through time, Jamie's hair gets the attention it deserves, and everyone starts emotionally preparing for the end of Outlander.
