Buffering the Vampire Slayer | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast

It is the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's "Once More, With Feeling," and to celebrate we are re-airing our musical podcast homage — originally released on February 10, 2021! In this musical extravaganza, your hosts Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs find themselves bursting into song, and (gay) flames, when a demon attempts to make Dawn his bride…

We’ve got 17 original songs inside of one great big musical podcast, with guests Alba Daza, Gabe Dunn, LaToya Ferguson, Mack MacDade, and Joanna Robinson to prove it.
Holy hell.

Hello and welcome to SlayerFest 98… we mean Homecoming!! This episode was recorded in front of a live audience in Brooklyn NY, in the fine company of extra special guest Joanna Robinson, as part of our celebration of the 10th anniversary of the pod!! We have been training our whole lives for this (and by “this” we mean a LOT of making two water bottles kiss). Also just checking were you aware that Faith asked Buffy to Homecoming?!

Kelly Clarkson wants some respect and a goddamn bird, Alanis Morisette simply loves when soccer teams get lost in the Canadian wilderness, snakes are falling from the sky in Nashville, and Xena's Ululating might have something to do with something that is none of Jenny's business. Come, join us for a watcher's diary, won't you?

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!
There are two types of monsters, but three in particular are running around Sunnydale: one keeps his shirt on the whole time (thanks, Pete), one keeps his shirt on half the time (nothing but respect for you, Oz), and one has never worn a shirt in his entire life (WELCOME BACK, ANGEL). Also, Buffy... that is way too much jello. Come along as we discuss these matters and more in our (second) coverage of Season 3, Episode 4 "Beauty and the Beasts."

Our original coverage of "Beauty and the Beasts" — with no spoilers! — aired on October 4th, 2017 and you can find it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/3-04-beauty-and-the-beasts-a-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-podcast/id1150241800?i=1000393059144
