Happy Thanksgiving, AMPies! Now a little over a month after we recorded this, our second-ever mailbag episode, it is finally here for your listening consumption. As always, this is an overly-long chaotic discussion about all things Vampire Diaries… and other things.

***AUDIO WARNING*** None of us sound great on this episode, audio-wise—for reasons LaToya and Jill still don’t quite understand—but Morgan especially doesn’t sound great—for reasons we all understand and have since fixed. I (LaToya) did my best to make this sound as good as it could—along with the help of friend of the pod, Jenny Owen Youngs (@jennyowenyoungs)—so please, keep that in mind as (or if) you listen.

***SPOILER WARNING*** Based on where we were in our recording schedule as of the time of this recording, this episode features spoilers up to “We’ll Always Have Bourbon Street” (Season 4, Episode 8). It also references bits that haven’t yet appeared on the podcast yet (like LaToya’s amazing NASA joke). You have been warned.

BONUS: AMPie Mailbag, Volume 2

A podcast about The Vampire Diaries that is part re-watch, part first-watch, and all horny for Mystic Falls and its various conspicuously attractive characters.
