I was recently directed to an episode of Buffering that featured one of my favorite story-humans, Lani Diane Rich. I immediately fell in love with the show and it sparked my first BTVS rewatch in almost a decade.
I soon found that Jenny and Kristin’s show also features (and in no short order) one of my all-time favorite indie comic creators, Kate Leth!
AND apparently at some point in the future (as I found out when browsing their albums) one of my favorite critics and podcasters, Joanna Robinson is gonna show up!!
Great show, with great hosts, surrounded by great people — FIVE STARS!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jean David Michel · Sep 2025
Ahhh MAN, these two (plus friends and guests)!!!!
Currently watching Buffy with my husband (his first time around, and he’s loving it)—and I, as someone who couldn’t bring myself to watch past Once More With Feeling when it came out—nor since!—am excited to finally buckle in and finally finish this beloved series that was so transformative for me as a pre/teen.
Having Buffering be the companion podcast we are both listening to as we do our full series watch has been the funnest experience! Buffy is for everyone, sure, but he and I are each truly thrilled to have found a podcast done with such a proudly queer, feminist approach. Jenny and Kristin are the perfect hosting duo, due to their tremendously likable personalities and creativity; and their being so genuine and transparent regarding their personal journey through life together makes me respect, adore, and appreciate them all the more.
It’s been soooo great to be in the current time (March 2025) and bounce back and forth between the original, spoiler-free releases; and now these blessed, brand new “once more” re-do’s as they are released!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Buffering team, for your commitment and enthusiasm! If only I could convey what a boost of serotonin your voices have been. I only wish I had been one of thousands who found you far sooner! 🩵
QueerVeganRascal · Mar 2025
I’ve been listening to Kristin and Jenny’s podcasts since literally day 1 of buffering. When their episodes drop I get a little dopamine burst. They are the best part of my day and I recommend listening to them to anyone who has ever watched any of the shows they recap. They are simply the best in the game. Perfectly produced, amazing banter, jingles galore. They have everything!
Citizencyborg · Jan 2025
I knew that eventually Kristin and Jenny would get back for a second go-round, and I knew it would be as brilliant and educational and fun and cathartic as before, but what I was not ready for was the actual full-body chills that wen through me when I heard the original, adorable Willow jingle. Thank you
