Buffycast
I've been listening to the
Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcasts at
Buffycast, and I have to say that they really are very good, and well worth a listen for people that are interested in the show. The fellow who performs these audio shows, "Revello", is a knowledgeable individual, and unlike some
Buffy fans is not afraid to dissect the show, analysing its shortcomings and pointing out how it could have been better. Of particular interest is the third, which is concerned with the character arc (or lack thereof) of Xander, and the eighth, which pokes all manner of holes in the character of Angel and his storyline in
Buffy (it ignores the character in his own series, pointing out, quite rightly, that they might as well be completely different characters). Oh, and number 12, on the controversial character of Dawn, is also excellent.

I agree. I like the way he looks at themes of the show rather than just recapping each show.

I find him a bit rambling on occasion, I'm afraid, but he's dead accurate about Angel. I've always seen Angel and Angelus as completely different entities in any case, meaning that I'm not too convinced that Angel constantly has to agonise.

He waffles a bit, to be sure, but I do think the content is unusually good. I like that while he is critical of the show at times, he doesn't go overboard in his bashing of Seasons 6 and 7, which to be honest is sometimes the easy thing to do.
