Amber Benson is here with us, in conversation with Kristin & Jenny, and we could not be more overjoyed!!!! We talk about witchcraft, memories from the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the impact of queer characters on television, the beauty and power of the Buffy fandom, and even that time that Amber thought no one noticed her dancing into a pole in Once More, With Feeling...

The biggest of all thank yous to Amber for spending time with us this week, and for everything she has done and continues to do in her brilliant work!!

This episode contains spoilers through the end of Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
