Buffering the Vampire Slayer Realm

Oh, beloved scoobies!!!
It may be said that we have never before worked together on a labor of love as fiercely and diligently as we have worked on writing our upcoming book: Slayers, Every One of Us.
Today, we shared the shiny new cover with the world — designed by the team at St. Martin's with beautiful illustrations contributed by friend of the pod Devan Power!!!
What's more, you can now PRE-ORDER your copy! As many of you already know, pre-orders are one of the most important pieces of a book's success!!! So, if you are interested and able, we would be so very grateful if you'd pre-order your copy in advance of the book's March 2025 release.

More on the book:
SLAYERS, EVERY ONE OF US
A memoir reflecting on heartbreak, perseverance, and life lessons learned Buffy the Vampire Slayer, from the hosts of the hit podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer.
Kristin and Jenny's marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny's favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of "Scoobies," unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.
Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other's lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy (and Buffering!) content for true fans, this is ultimately a memoir of queer love and chosen family. It's a heartwarming story for anyone who's experienced lost love, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.
“A heartfelt story . . . tender, funny, and totally charming.”
—Gabrielle Korn, author of Yours for the Taking
“Recently I found myself enchanted by a book about a podcast I didn’t listen to, that recapped a TV show I’d never watched; a testament to how good Slayers, Every One Of Us is. Massively successful. A spellbinding read.”
—Tegan Quin, award-winning musician and bestselling author

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's Season 3, Episode 19: "Enemies," we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with special, beloved guest (and velvet choker owner), Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we also learned that our conversation on "Enemies" also marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies.
Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead.

Laya DeLeon Hayes sat down to talk with Kristin all about playing our badass new slayer Indira in Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. We talk about how she has just started watching Buffy for the first time (they had her start with THE BODY?!), how her in-studio relationship with Charisma mirrored many of the ways that Indira and Cordelia relate to each other, her beginnings in the industry as the voice of Doc McStuffins, and our shared interest in getting the answer to the question: is Queen Latifah a Buffy fan?!
