  • Down with Mimi

    Never listened to an episode, but 5 stars because Mimi’s review 7 years ago was ridiculous and I’m just that petty.

  • The Best Buffy Podcast

    I listen to Buffy podcasts all the time, if there’s a Buffy show I have heard it.

    But this is by far the best, and it is the only one that doesn’t annoy me away from listening after a binge listen.

    I’ve been listening since 2020 and I will continue to do so, even into The Magicians coverage (a show I bought solely because the hosts continually recommend it)

    Great hosts, fun talks while also being insightful.

    Please have Passion of the Nerd on whenever possible, it makes up for the long wait ... more
