"We've Got Spirit", of course. ;)

Polgara · 10 months ago

argh. I cannot download you podcast from the office (our security filter is annoying above all). I have to wait 'till the end of the day. Frustration

Guido from Boston · 10 months ago

Great show... the audio is very clear and the content is fun. nuff said.. :)

Cherie · 10 months ago

Wow, what a nice podcast! You are deefinitely a multi-faceted person. I am enjoying watching your new endeavors......it's very inspiring!

Kim, that's too weird - I was just thinking my one movie would be Groundhog Day and that would be an unusual choice..! And my favourite Buffy episode is Once More, With Feeling - I thought a musical episode was a terrible idea and that I would hate it but, of course, Joss turned it into a thing of genius. I can't get the songs out of my head even now.

Mandi · 10 months ago

Fixin' to listen right now...
My go to crafting show is Gilmore Girls, or the Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth.

Julia · 10 months ago

Great show, very impressed with the audio quality.

Kiba · 10 months ago

Buffy is absolutely my go-to crafting show, to the surprise of no one.

(It was originally Firefly, though! I made my first afghan during a Firefly re-watch.)

Tara · 10 months ago

Kim, I'm loving the vibe of your podcast!
"sometimes life just favors those with excellent taste in TV" - ha!

I'm just watching Buffy for the first time, so it's not my go-to yet. Because spinning requires some attention-paying, my go-to show is something like Sex & the City or the Gilmore Girls or Project Runway. My I'm-sick-and-just-want-to-stare-at-the-screen-movie is Wayne's World. Party on!

And my fave episode of Freaks is probably Tricks + Treats - Sam's last grasp at childhood is *so* sweet and his lowest moment is *so* heart-wrenching. Oy. I just love Sam!

Laurie May Coyle · 10 months ago

loved the podcast/interview -- awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on Jenny's book!

I have just finished the entire season of Freaks & Geeks from netflix and I think my favorite episode was the second one "Beers and Weirs" where Lindsay throws a party when her parents are away. I always wanted to do that but never had the guts! And the fake beer... hilarious!

Julie · 10 months ago

I listened to your nameless podcast this morning in my car. I love your laugh, you made me laugh out loud! Great show, interesting interview. Would love to get my hands on that book. I have never seen either of the shows you mention but my favourite is The Office. The one where Michael organizes a "run for rabies" is hilarious.

This is Kim posting Kari's comment because she hit a bug I can't figure out; she emailed this to me:

I loved this podcast! In fact, I listened twice. Anything about Books + Buffy is tops in my book now. You both have great radio voices and I liked the background music as well.
I like to craft and write to Project Runway. Something about the people on screen using their hands and facing challenges just like I am really works for me creatively. Also, I pretend Tim Gunn is talking to me when he says "Make it work." Comforting. Also I am super late to the Buffy party and haven't even seen season 7 yet - I'm waiting for it to come from the library. I'm not sure I have a favorite episode exactly but I loved the episode where Buffy and Faythe switch bodies. I liked the Freaky Friday aspect Buffy style. Also, I read Twilight and I kept wishing Buffy would show up, stake Edward and kick Bella's ass. But that's just me and off topic.

KathyElkins · 10 months ago

Kim - superbly done! Good sound, editing, etc. Very well done! Not a Buffy gal but love me those Freaks and Geeks!

Maura · 10 months ago

Thanks for the podcast. I really loved hearing Jenny talk about making being crafty a full-time job. It got my mind thinking so much that I made my husband listen as well.

The audio quality on the call was great, but it sounds like you were recording in a empty room. A bit of sound dampening material would likely help that a bit. Fabric, blankets, pillows, rugs etc are great. Pretty much anything that muffles sound rather than giving it something to bounce off of. But, I was impressed :)

Haven't watched Freeks and Geeks yet, will have to see about ordering it. My favorite buffy episode is Doppelgangland. I loved vampy Willow.

Carrie · 10 months ago

What a great crafty podcast! Subscribed to your RSS feed :)

I've only seen the first season of Buffy (sadly!) but I love Firefly and Dollhouse.
Freaks and Geeks sounds really good :)

neens · 10 months ago

I'm definitely listening to this in the morning... I have been catching up on Freaks and Geeks over Netflix so I totally got excited when I read about this :) When Buffy first came out I was totally addicted and at then high school (and Dawson's Creek) happened I regret what inevitably happened to my imagination and creativity for a while... I keep meaning to watch the episodes I never saw and at some point that will happen... hopefully. Especially since my boyfriend's DVDs of Firefly and then the birth of Dr. Horrible refreshed my love of Joss Whedon :)

Can't wait to check out your podcast

gehl · 10 months ago

Great podcast! What fun you guys must have. Thanks again!

Stardust B. · 10 months ago

Loved the podcast. My fav. Buffy episode is Hush. Very creepy.

rosesd · 10 months ago

That book looks sweet!

LisaB · 10 months ago

Fabulous podcast! Buffy is definitely one of my go-to craft shows, for exactly the reason Jenny says. Favorite episode is hard - I love the Halloween one where Buffy is a useless lady from the 1800s (and I love that Zander retains some of his military knowledge from that episode in later episodes). But, my fav has to be Once More With Feeling. Too brilliant for words.

Freaks and Geeks was a little to realistic in the high school angst department for me. I loved it, but found it painful too.

Other go-to shows/movies for crafting: Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, and Ever After. I've seen both an ungodly number of times.

turvid · 10 months ago

Congrats! - a great podcast!

I don't know the name of any episode - even if I love Buffy. The name in Norwegian is probably not the same as the name in English anyway ;)

Erin Ferree · 10 months ago

Yes, I am a Buffy crafter as well. Tabula Rasa is one of my faves.

reesbees · 10 months ago

Choosing my favorite episodes is way too hard (partly because I am taking it way too seriously). For F&G I'm going to go with "Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers" mostly because that's the episode with "Lady L". And Buffy... Tabula Rasa is a really good one... argh, I can't choose.

I will tell you that my go-to crafty movies are, and this is kind of embarrassing, "Wayne's World" and "The Muppet Movie".

thelittlefluffycat · 10 months ago

I can't sew either, but any crafter who's a Whedon fan's okay in my book! If I could sew I would make a slinky dress . . . ;)

amanda allen · 10 months ago

the question i have not yet found the answer to is where do i find cute white dishtowels to embroider :-(

andrea · 10 months ago

Thanks for sharing. Love the podcast.

Steffany P. · 10 months ago

That was fun!
My craft-fantastic show is always Firefly.
"Also, I can kill you with my brain.... " (Sorry, whenever I mention Firefly, random quotes fly right out of my mouth...LOL)

Deadly Knitshade · 10 months ago

I have a tiny Hello Kitty sewing machine I have never used. Sew Darn Cute sounds like it would be the perfect book to introduce it to the world with.

Love the podcast. Inspiring to hear about someone making it to the quit your day job stage through craft. :)

As for fave Buffy episode I am a Firefly girl. So have only just realised I really should sit down for a Buffy marathon and catch up with more Whedon. Kinda nice to think I have the entire unwatched set of seven series in front of me, eh?

Laurie · 10 months ago

Very much enjoyed this nameless audio fun.
I've never watch Freaks and Geeks, and the only episode of Buffy that I ever saw was the one where Willow comes out. The internets tell me that one's called New Moon Rising.
My favorite show to watch while crafting is Mythbusters. They're more makers than crafters on the show, but it gets me wanting to create either way. I love when Discovery runs marathons!

Dawn · 10 months ago

I have been getting Buffy via netflix and am currently in season 5. I think my favorite episode so far is Innocence and the one after it. I am a big sucker for evil Angel.

Also, great job on your first podcast.

Catherine · 10 months ago

I will be listening to the podcast right after dinner.

earthchick · 10 months ago

Ooh yay. Can't wait to listen!

Kim Werker · 10 months ago

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments! Please keep them coming (heh), but do note that only comments appearing before this very one were eligible for the book giveaway.

Greg Werker · 10 months ago

Favourite Buffy episode is "Normal Again". But I don't think I'm eligible to win.

LittleWit · 10 months ago

I finally got to listen to this podcast. Very well done. The book sounds adorable. Alas, I know it's blasphemy and I have never seen either of those shows.

jenn · 10 months ago

welcome to podcasting! looking forward to hearing more.

my go-to crafting show is definitely the simpsons! i haven't seen either of those shows..

CAT · 10 months ago

Great Interview. I couldn't help but answer the bonus question....."Once More With Feeling"

Mia · 9 months ago

Excellent podcast! I kept marking this blog post unread in my reader because I didn't have a chunk of time to listen until now. I'm so glad I did. I'm really looking forward to hearing the next one.

I also just watched the first 2 Dollhouse episodes last night, and am thinking it may be a show I could get into. For now, my go-to craft show to watch is Bones, I love it! ...though I do have to say, I adore the West Wing too, particularly the first couple of seasons.

Anyway, I just have to say it again, I loved the interview!

Froggy · 9 months ago

This was a great podcast. I totally understood what Jenny Ryan meant about wanting to be an enabler.
