  • I want this to work soo much

    I really want to enjoy this but I cannot stand how abruptly the episodes end. I get that you want people to watch on Patreon but that shouldn’t take away from the experience on here. How hard would it be to just stick a message at the end “Thanks for tuning in, I hope you join me for the next episode. If you need or want more join us on Patreon!”

  • Reviewing after episode 2

    I’m really hoping I can come back and edit this review with a higher rating. I was thrilled when Charisma announced she was doing a Buffy/Angel podcast, and then immediately disappointed when it was only first available on Patreon. I tried to follow there, but for me the best thing about podcasts is being able to listen while doing something else with my phone closed. On Pateon, it’s a video, I have to keep my phone open the whole time, it drains the battery and I can’t listen while driving. So ... more

    all i have to say is: Cordelia would feel the same way about the current administration and political climate that Charisma does.
