  • A great podcast

    Back in 2022 I started to rewatch Buffy. I had seen quite a few episodes, but never the whole series, episode by episode. And I happen to find this awesome podcast and included it in my daily routine of first watching the episode, then listening to the podcast on it. And let me tell you, it made me love the show even more. So, go ahead and listen to it. It’s made with lots of queer love for an awesome show that has touched so many of us.
