- Fun Podcast, Too Biased
I really enjoy this podcast in general. I like their approach and talking about metaphors and themes! I think the balance between the spoiler, free episodes and the spoiler episodes as well done and it’s fun to think about the series in different contexts in that way.

United States8 months ago - Thank you!
Really enjoying all your insights and the additional BTS info. I’m actually a big season 7 apologist. Mostly because I enjoy every season of Buffy for its own merits. I’m listening along and also from the beginning since I’ve only recently discovered it. I can’t wait to get to season 5 which is my absolute favourite season…. Thank you for all your work. :-)

Australia10 months ago - Obsessed with Buffy? You need to listen to Becoming Buffy! ❤️
Hosted by three sisters who above all love Queen B 👑 and seriously get the show, this podcast is full of love, laughs, and amazing insight into our favourite slayer and her world. 💖 You’ll feel like you’re rewatching the series with your besties. ✨
And if you’re a fan of Angel too, don’t miss Investigating Angel! It has the same awesome vibe—and one of the Becoming Buffy host, Sarah, is on it! 💕

New Zealanda year ago - First rewatch
I originally watched Buffy as it aired and decided in January to finally get around to rewatching. I decided to pair the rewatch with a podcast and found y’all. It’s been great getting some deep intel to go along with my rewatch. Can’t wait to hear season 7 as I’m about halfway through watching it.
