About this episode

The episode features a hangout with Hrishikesh Hirway discussing various topics related to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Our first ever hangout with Hrishikesh Hirway from back in 2018!! We've got erotic novels, warm milk left out on countertops, the birth of JENNY AND THE TWO PENNIES (!!), discussions on Angel's preferred candle scent, and so much more. A real humdinger of an episode. This month we're sharing some of our favorite "special guest" episodes from the Buffering archives. This encore episode originally aired on February 7, 2018.
