Dear podcast listeners,

We're baaaaaaaaaack, but not in a creepy Poltergeist way. More in a Katherine Peirce being badass way. We have changes to the show: we are going bi-weekly for our release schedule, and we will be getting back to wrapping Season 2 in December, starting Season 3 rewatch in January! 

We made the top 10 list of Vampire Diaries podcasts from Feedspot (check it out): https://podcasts.feedspot.com/the_vampire_dairies_podcasts/
