Kia Ora and G’day whānau! Join two queer overexcitable fangirls, Lou (Kiwi, new-ish fan) and Shell (Aussie, OG Xenite), as they deep-dive into Xena: Warrior Princess with charmingly mediocre wit, loads of nostalgia, and at times impenetrable accents.
As Xena: Warrior Princess celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025, we’re highlighting its legacy by attempting to interview 30 cast and crew who mad... more

🚨 Important Episode Update: 🚨 Whānau, our Sir Richard Taylor episode went live with a track out of order, making parts of the kōrero super confusing. So sorry if you caught that version, it sounded like Dahak or Sauron got in the edit! 😬

I love this Xena podcast. It’s so different from other podcasts. And it’s so special too since they’re interviewing people actually involved with the show. I hope they continue on after all their Xena interviews and cover either the whole show or their favorite episodes. 🙂❤️🙂
I am rewatching Xena as a result of this fantastic podcast! It’s like a family reunion for me as an OG Xenite (yes I have a sword and a pics of me with Ted Raimi at a convention when we were all much younger 😉). I love that the hosts are representing everything through the Kiwi/Aussie lens and from the perspectives of OG and recent Xena obsessed — I love them both! Thanks for bringing some goofy joy into my day — Battle On!!
What a pod! I can’t believe this show exists and I only just found it.
It’s hilarious and nostalgic all at once. The Kiwi chick is on to it.
Can’t wait to keep listening
To hear two people talk about their favourite show is one thing, but for them to get guests who l worked on said show every episode is another. Truly amazing and also just a fun listen!!
This new podcast has totally taken me by surprise. The hosts are so warm and so easy to listen to. I love the idea of highlighting New Zealand and all the cast and crew who are either locals or have had a significant impact on the show. So many cool insights are being presented here and it’s awesome to geek out over. This has been a blast to listen to this far and I can’t wait to see who else will guest star and what else will be revealed. Battle On Xenites! Great job!!!
