WOW, Kristin got the chance to sit down and chat with the mayor of Sunnydale himself, Harry Groener!! We couldn't think of a better way to close out season 3 than to share this fantastic conversation with all of you. You'll hear them dig into Richard Wilkins III's complicated relationship with Faith, discuss how a mayor ascending is similar to Bruce Banner hulking out, and you'll also be delighted (or perhaps terrified) to find that Harry and the mayor have the same laugh... though in this context, it's considerably less ominous. Today we're saying a fond farewell to Season Faith, with this very special Episode Mayor!
