Listener Feedback:
-Rob emails in, and greets us in a charming Giles-like manner.
-Rebecca tweets us to consider putting Dawson’s Creek on the possibilities list. At least one of us would be happy to superfan that show.
-The Bottle Episode tweets us to remind us how much everyone should love the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme song. “They alive, dammit.” (And it’s totally applicable to all things Buffy.)
