  • Fun Podcast, Too Biased

    I really enjoy this podcast in general. I like their approach and talking about metaphors and themes! I think the balance between the spoiler, free episodes and the spoiler episodes as well done and it’s fun to think about the series in different contexts in that way.

  • Thank you!

    Really enjoying all your insights and the additional BTS info. I’m actually a big season 7 apologist. Mostly because I enjoy every season of Buffy for its own merits. I’m listening along and also from the beginning since I’ve only recently discovered it. I can’t wait to get to season 5 which is my absolute favourite season…. Thank you for all your work. :-)

  • First rewatch

    I originally watched Buffy as it aired and decided in January to finally get around to rewatching. I decided to pair the rewatch with a podcast and found y’all. It’s been great getting some deep intel to go along with my rewatch. Can’t wait to hear season 7 as I’m about halfway through watching it.
