Such a pleasure to listen to!

I really love the depth of analysis of BtVS in this podcast along with the deep love of the show and the enjoyment. I laugh, I learn and I really appreciate this amazing podcast!

I got so much more from watching along with this podcast than just watching BtVS itself. Such great insights and so many eternal human themes that make you see how even 25 years later, Buffy has something to say.

Final episode nails it

Learned a lot about story from the podcast. But the thing that just blew my mind was the simple edit of deleting “ No you don’t” and leaving “Thanks for saying it”. Worth the price of admission.
