We are currently conducting a survey to determine what, definitively, IS the greatest love of all… Is it our collective love for the hilarity and chaos of campy season one Monster-of-the-Week episodes? Is it Principal Snyder's love of hating the children he is charged with educating? Is it Xander's love of Chocolate Hurricanes? Is it our love for the fact that this is the only episode of Buffy that features a ventriloquist's dummy? Is it a father's — I mean Watcher's — love for his daughter — I mean Slayer? Or are all of these tied for second place, and is the GREATEST love of all our love for Cordelia???

And we will discuss the final kiss, which ends in Angel feeling that kind of pain that can only come from being a vampire in love with a giant-cross wearing vampire Slayer — that burning, searing, sizzling kind of D E S I R E and P A S S I O N.

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. Learn More at bufferingcast.com/book And hey, stay tuned in this feed, maybe? +++ 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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are two weeks away from Buffy Prom in Brooklyn — April 19th - 21st! — and so we thought we'd re-share our conversation with Ira Madison III on Buffy's Season 3, Episode 20: "The Prom"! We recorded this just a few days before throwing our first ever Buffy Prom back in 2018

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.

Dear friend of the pod Helen Zalztman (The Allusionist, Answer Me This!) joins us today for a deep dive into linguistics in Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Why does Giles' leatherbound book use a "Y" in Vampyre? Why does television rely so heavily on Latin to convey magic spells? Where does the word "coven" originate? Did Buffy coin the term "wiggins"?!

We celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from Torrance High School, aka Sunnydale High, with hundreds of your beautiful nerdy faces — and it was one of the best nights of our damn lives. We are going through some of our favorite high-school moments from Buffy, including the infamous Oedipus Rex performance at the end of "The Puppet Show," (17:22) the meeting of The Mayor, Faith, Buffy, Angel and everyone else in "Choices," (33:12) and that romantically terrifying lovers-to-ghosts possession in "I Only Have Eyes For You" (55:14). Oh, and then we prove that Buffy and Faith absolutely totally entirely had sex with each other (1:10:20). It was truly a night for the books. + THE BUFFY + FAITH HAD SEX PowerPoint PresentationTODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO WATCH US LIVE: 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF BUFFY AT SUNNYDALE HIGHAn epic evening of live music, conversation, special guests, and oh-so-much laughter broadcast live from Torrance High School!momenthouse.com/bufferingthevampireslayerLOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNET Jenny Owen Youngs: @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.comKristin Russo: @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.comBuffering the Vampire Slayer: @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramLearn more about our team at bufferingthevampireslayer.com/our-team Special Guests: LaToya Ferguson, Morgan Lutich, Evan Ross Katz, and Joanna RobinsonScoop up Evan's new book "Into Every Generation A Slayer Is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Hearts" Produced by: Kristin Russo, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Zoe ReganEdited by: John Mark Nelson & Kristin RussoLogo: Kristine Thune+++SUPPORT US ON PATREON!Advance Music, Bonus Episodes, Live Concerts, Book Clubs, wheeeee!!patreon.com/bufferingcast SCOOP SOME MERCH!Smash the Patriarchy with Buffering T-Shirts, Hoodies, Sweatpants, Pins!bufferingthevampireslayer.com/shop+++We acknowledge that we and our team are occupying unceded and stolen lands and territories.
