Eh… A for Effort, C for Content

“They really try. They love the show. They love the characters. Unfortunately, love doesn’t always cut it.
What works… The conversations are great. No uncomfortable pauses. You can feel their closeness as sisters - good camaraderie. The oldest sister (who seems to be the lead host) digs up fun facts about each episode. More of this! It’s fun and informative! The sound quality of the recordings. No weird echo/tunnel effect like you hear on many amateur podcasts. The spoiler/spoiler free line. Keep this! This format works so well and is used by other podcasts I’ve listened to. They started playing little audio (video for them, I’m sure) when they want to reference a certain scene. More of this! It adds context, depth, and sounds way more professional that talking out the scene.
What doesn’t work… They try to be thorough. This leads to most of the episode being a playback in words of the ENTIRE show. Detail by detail. Scene by scene. At first I thought I would enjoy this. I do not. It’s monotonous and boring. I’ve watched the episode already. Now I wanna discuss it. I don’t want to watch (in words only) the episode all over again. Too long in between show/podcast episodes. They originally started with one show per podcast and one podcast per week. Now things are sporadic and you don’t know what you’re going to get. I don’t mind long podcasts at all. I prefer them, actually. But, don’t make it two weeks until you get to the next episode. And don’t break up the spoiler and spoiler free section into two separate episodes. It’s too long in between new content/show episodes and this is where you lost me. The youngest sister… please consider this constructive criticism and not a personal dig. It’s hard to listen to her and take her seriously because she’s one of those girls that injects “like” into every third word that comes out of her mouth. It’s very cringy, and annoying. She also has a hard time getting her point across in a meaningful and efficient manner. I think she would benefit from a debate or communication class and a critical thinking class. Also, just reading some books. Reading does wonders for one’s vocabulary and delivery.
Overall these ladies really try. They have great subject matter, obviously. They have a ton of heart. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to keep me. I’m and avid podcast listener and I’ve listened to other Buffy podcasts and this one rates on the lower end.”

“I love this podcast! I was listening to a similar podcast before coming across this, and I’m so glad I decided to give this a go. It delivered and then some! I really appreciate the bond you have, as it really draws the listener in. I’m nowhere near catching up (yet, lol), but I do hope to see...”Read full review »
