If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me

Welcome to Hello Salty Goodness, also known as If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me! This week we take a final look back on the season that was, the same that never ended, the season we'll be forced to forget as the next one approaches way too quickly. That's right: Season 3 recap time!

We keep it light this episode talking our lows (3:00) and highs (20:00). In between: a final look at Faith and the Mayor and how they stack to other Buffy villains (8:00), Daniel crunches the numbers (22:00), a quick RIP to those we lost (28:00) and a podcast-friendly segment of iconic images of the year (36:00). We set a few new rules for next year and look toward the Initiative with... gusto? trepidation? indifference? 

Full show notes (and iconic images!) at our website and @beepmepod on Twitter, InstagramFacebook, Tumblr for all the good stuff and [email protected] for general chitchat!

Next episode: "I'm all for spurty knowledge." See you October 5!

Welcome to If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me. 

We are a Buffy podcast that follows the schedule 20 years from today. Last week in 1999 two cowards shot up their school in Littleton, Colorado and America took pause. "Earshot" was preempted for a rerun of Season 3, Episode 14, "Bad Girls." 

Kelly addresses the moment (1:00) before "Bad Girls" is replayed in its entirety. 

"Earshot" aired on September 21, 1999. We will cover it in context then.
