  • The Nexus of Spooky, Smart and Nerdy Podcasters! (and Patrol Cat)

    I was recently directed to an episode of Buffering that featured one of my favorite story-humans, Lani Diane Rich. I immediately fell in love with the show and it sparked my first BTVS rewatch in almost a decade.

    I soon found that Jenny and Kristin’s show also features (and in no short order) one of my all-time favorite indie comic creators, Kate Leth!

    AND apparently at some point in the future (as I found out when browsing their albums) one of my favorite critics and podcasters, Joanna Robin... more

  • Like chatting with friends

    I’ve just finished the original run through of all seven seasons and it’s been so lovely having Jenny and Kristin in my ears discussing each episode in such detail. I’m looking forward to the once more with spoilers coverage!

  • My comfort listen

    I’m a longtime listener of the podcast and actually could not love it more. Buffy has always been a comfort watch for me through hard times and the podcast does and epically great job of filling that role. I love the chat, the politics, the hosts - you guys are phenomenal humans and have accompanied me through some mega moments from covid lockdowns to late nights feeding tiny gremlins. I have laughed, I have cried, I have waxed lyrical to friends and fam about your glory ❤️❤️❤️

  • Did you give up on x files??? What’s the point

    They do a song at the end of each ep that’s mostly really good, I would say skip the first 10-15 mins after season 5 of each episode ALOT of trash at the start that’s irrelevant to the show and more about the hosts, they also have some great interviews

  • Hahahahahaha

    Jenny preemptively laughing at her own stories is truly a gift. Love the dynamic and the reviews! Also, I live for finding out what Dawn was doing.
