  • Perfect happiness

    This is the ideal podcast for Angel fans! Insightful analysis, lots of interesting behind-the-scenes info, and plenty of laughs. Lea and Sarah have great chemistry as hosts and both bring different strengths to the table, making them a fantastic combination. I could not be more satisfied as a longtime Angel lover.

  • “He was like…she was like”

    I appreciate the research and descriptions into what went on behind the scenes. The Spike bashing is annoying and gratuitous. Can an editor cut every time they say “like?”
