Xena: Warrior Podcast

Vera, Katie, and Livy

Xena: Warrior Podcast is a weekly show where three film school grads (Vera, Katie, and Livy) over-analyze the Hades out of Xena: Warrior Princess. This 90's classic deserves more critical attention and appreciation within the television canon, and that's where we come in. Watch along with us as we revisit Xena from the beginning.
