Absolutely love this podcast!

I love Truest Blood! Deborah and Kristen do such an amazing job of bringing interesting insight and behind the scenes info to each episode, and their special guest interviews are always on point! I love the way that they interact with their guests and the way each and every person who was involved with the show speaks about it. True Blood is one of my favorite series and this podcast just makes me love it more! 10/10 would recommend and I hope they come back for another season!!

New True Blood Obsession

First I want to say I am a huge True Blood fan. I loved it then and I find myself rewatching the entire series over again. Second, I love listening to you guys break down each episode. I’ve actually started watching the episodes along with you guys’ story telling. I find myself paying close attention the scenes being discussed. For example, when Alexander Woo described the moles on Rutina’s neck and the sweat roll down, I of course went to see what he was talking about. If you pause it right before Jason walks up and sees the sweat roll down you can actually see both moles and on the close up, one disappears. You guys are awesome! Thank you for bringing this back and giving me yet another reason to be a Trubie. 🩸
