Buffering the Vampire Slayer

Buffering the Vampire Slayer is a podcast about the TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hosted by fans Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo. Each podcast episode analyzes one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and concludes with an original song created by Youngs and Russo recapping their analysis. There are also notable interviews featuring actors and collaborators from the series.

Kristin Russo (born December 17, 1980) is an American speaker, personality, and LGBT activist. She is the CEO and editor-in-chief of Everyone Is Gay and My Kid Is Gay. She also supports organizations that provide advice, guidance, and education to LGBTQIA youth and their families; and is the co-author of This Is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids (Chronicle Books, 2014).

Jenny Owen Youngs (born November 22, 1981) is an American singer-songwriter. She has released three albums and several EPs, both independently and via Nettwerk Records, and has toured worldwide. Youngs also collaborated with artists such as Brett Dennen, Ingrid Michaelson, Shungudzo, Pitbull. She is a co-writer on the 2018 Panic! at the Disco single, "High Hopes".

Youngs and Russo were married when the podcast began, though they separated in May 2018. They have been described as contributing to a "golden age of queer women in podcasting".

The podcast recaps every Buffy episode, talking through each scene in the episode with commentary on the wider themes. The episodes are spoiler free, and do not discuss any plot points beyond the current point of the series.

On 7 November 2024, Russo and Youngs relaunched the podcast from Season 1 of Buffy, titled Once More, With Spoilers.

Each episode of Buffering includes an original song by Youngs and Russo, reflecting the episode discussed. All songs from completed seasons of the podcast are compiled into albums that are available on Spotify and Apple Music. The lyrics are also published on the Buffering the Vampire Slayer website.

Youngs and Russo have also created jingles honouring specific characters from the Buffyverse, including Spike, Giles, and Vampire Willow.
