Show overview
Bring Backup: A Veronica Mars Podcast has been publishing since 2018, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 76 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 10m and 1h 34m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 39 episodes published.
From the publisher
Bring Backup is a weekly rewatch podcast about California teen noir Veronica Mars. Longtime Veronica Mars fans Sam NeSmith and Meg Lindsay will be watching and discussing every episode of the show, beginning with the mystery that started it all, the murder of Veronica's best friend Lilly Kane.

Season Three finale! When this aired, we had no idea we'd be getting a movie AND a fourth season years down the road. This episode has tons of season one flair and we can't wait to dig into it. Follow us on Twitter and IG. Check out our website.
S3 Ep 193.19 Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down
Today we're breaking down Season 3, Episode 19 - Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down. As the title foretells, Weevil is back, finally! And once again he's facing a very accusatory tone from Veronica. She just loves to never believe him! It's their thing! This episode is a fun one, I love the rich student thieves storyline and the side plot with Wallace and his throwback to the pilot beach plane. I don't especially love how the episode ends, though. A penultimate episode sex tape scandal is not really what you expect.. Or want.

We're nearing the end and Meg and Sam both have senioritis! We said fudge it, and decided to say spoilers!

S3 Ep 153.15 Papa's Cabin
This week we're talking Season 3, Episode 15 Papa's Cabin. This is the one where the dean's murder mystery is solved and yet we still have 5 episodes left!

Sam shares her radio call in experience and Meg imagines a world in which Veronica holds up gas stations. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Check out our website.

S3 Ep 133.13 Postgame Mortem

We're back with Season 3, Episode 10, where the mystery is about a monkey and is very boring, and all we really care about is that Mac is back!
S3 Ep 93.09 Spit and Eggs
FINALLY the end of this first mystery of season 3. We can move onto just some good old-fashioned murder. This episode has Sam perhaps coming around to Piz? And some great Mac lines.

S3 Ep 73.07 Of Vice and Men
Today, we are discussing Season 3, Episode 7, Of Vice and Men. And despite the mystery of the week being a little flat - the case of the missing sully - this episode features one of the more unforgettable scenes of the entire series. I can summon the feeling of watching drugged Veronica stumble around a parking garage in my sleep. This one keeps me awake at night, for sure. Follow us on Twitter and IG. And check out our website.
S3 Ep 63.06 Hi, Infidelity
Oh no this one has Keith Mars making BAD DECISIONS!
S3 Ep 53.05 President Evil
