About this listen
Read by the authors and hosts of the hit podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, this memoir reflects on heartbreak, perseverance, building community, and life lessons learned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This audiobook features bonus songs, jingles, and clips from the podcast and live shows, and contributions from fans/committed Scoobies.
Kristin and Jenny’s marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny's favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of “Scoobies,” unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.
Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other’s lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy-related content (and Buffering!) for true fans, this is ultimately a memoir of queer love and chosen family. It's a heartwarming story for anyone who's experienced lost love, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Story
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family. There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family’s latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees. But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters’ bond but also their lives will be at risk…

Critic reviews
“At turns inspiring, hilarious, and devastating (in the best way), Slayers, Every One of Us underlines the truth that the hardest thing to do in this world may be to live in it, but found family and love of story can help ensure that you *will* be slaying—no matter what. The warmth and goofy wit that Russo and Youngs bring to everything they do is the perfect antidote for anyone who feels like cookie dough that’s not *quite* done baking.”—Joanna Robinson, cultural critic and podcaster at The Ringer
"A heartfelt story of how one couple's mutual obsession allowed them to remain in each other's lives, this tender, funny, and totally charming tale of love, divorce, and podcasting is as much an ode to queer community as it is to a certain vampire slayer."—Gabrielle Korn, author of Yours for the Taking and Everybody (Else) Is Perfect
"Recently I found myself enchanted by a book about a podcast I didn’t listen to, that recapped a TV show I’d never watched; a testament to how good Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen Youngs’ memoir Slayers, Every One Of Us is. This once-married duo cut to the quick in their deeply personal memoir recounting the creation of their massively successful podcast, Buffering the Vampire Slayer, which recaps the '90s teen drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The memoir’s subplot—Youngs and Russo’s meeting, falling in love, subsequent breakup and divorce, while they taped seven seasons of their wildly popular podcast—was like a dagger to the heart. A spellbinding read."—Tegan Quin, award-winning musician and New York Times bestselling author

In 1795, Catherine the Great of Russia was in search of a bride for her grandson Constantine, who stood third in line to her throne. In an eerie echo of her own story, Catherine selected an innocent young German princess, Julie of Saxe-Coburg, aunt of the future Queen Victoria. Though Julie had everything a young bride could wish for, she was alone in a court dominated by an aging empress and riven with rivalries, plotting, and gossip—not to mention her brute of a husband. She longed to leave Russia and her disastrous marriage, but her family in Germany refused to allow her to do so.

Its creators had a sweeping ambition—to build machines that could not only communicate, but could do all kinds of other activities, better than humans ever could. But was this goal actually achievable? And if reached, would it lead to our liberation or our subjugation?

If there’s one thing Landon knows, it’s the South. His anthropological dissections of customs and traditions celebrating all things Southern are a mix of humor, history, and head nodding. In his debut book, Landon discusses everything you've ever wanted to know about the South, including why they say the things they say, why they eat the things they eat, and what it really means when someone says, "Bless your heart."

Yet I know these stories are meaningful to lots of folks who’ve listened along for years, myself included. Your pod was a lifeline during COVID.

Scoobies Forever
I came to the Buffering podcast in 2020, looking for something hopeful to fill the long quiet hours of lockdown telework. Listening to Kristin and Jenny navigate the landscape of a post-election 2016 helped me through the 2020 campaign season. I listened in order, only finding out about the turmoil that had happened in their relationship years after it happened.
This book is an amazing walk through the best, worst, and best times between two amazing women. Chosen. Family. Matters.
Thank you both, so damn much.

Beautiful and Vulnerable
As someone who got to the Buffering podcasts late in the game, I was so excited when they announced this book was coming out. It is beautiful, brave, vulnerable, and shows their strength and the strength of this community that has and continues to persevere through the most challenging of times. The audiobook was perfectly done, combining elements of the podcast lore and Jenny’s Buffering music to show how the story unfolded. I listened to it quickly but will go back and listen again soon. Keep on fighting!

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and hopeful!
I have been a fan of Buffering the Vampire Slayer Podcast since somewhere around the middle of Kristin and Jenny's coverage of season 1 of Buffy. This book is a beautifully told story of their lives while recording the podcast.
I love that they included recordings of the songs from the podcasts in this audiobook. The dual narration made me feel like I was listening to an extended episode of the podcast as they wove their personal story through the seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you're a fan of the podcast.

A True Work of Heart
After jumping on the podcast bandwagon during the pandemic in 2020, I have been a devout listener. This book is a stunning achievement and provides so much insight on the blood, sweat and literal tears that went into the making of Buffering the Vampire Slayer by these two incredible people (and their associated partners and supporters). Even if you are not a current fan of the podcast, this audio book is a beautiful journey and I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Life is Strange and Love can survive heartbreak when you have something to hold on to
I loved the inclusion of the music and jingles from the podcast. I cried on and off through most of the book. It gave me that profound happy sad feeling, love and loss, found family and community supporting each other. Life is a strange winding road that takes you places you didn't expect but if you're lucky it takes you somewhere beautiful. Relationships in your life may change but that love can take a new shape and flourish.

A book about time
This is an amazing story that exemplifies the journeys we all go on over time, the different paths our lives take and the ways we connect with each other. It's beautiful to see how Kristin and Jenny were able to transform their relationship many times over time, continuing to make something that grew and evolved while building such a beautiful community around it. Buffy has always been one of the best shows for long term character arcs, and it was beautiful to watch the podcast evolve along side it. Reading the journey condensed in this book makes it easier to see the meaning of the last ten years, in the way that sometimes is hard to see in our own lives. Whether we want to or not, life will always force us to change and evolve, but we can choose who to surround ourselves with along the way. And of course the world will keep changing too. Evil will pop up in many different forms, and we can choose to just keep fighting.

My Favorite Podcast About My Favorite Show
Kristin and Jenny are a dream. I’m a devout listener of the podcast (but found it late in its creation) and have re-listened many times. The book gives profound context to the podcast oeuvre and had me in tears many times. The intertwining of life and fandom is so relatable to anyone who deeply loves a popular property and sees themselves in it and in return that property in themselves. A moving and sweet story that anyone can enjoy; absolute heaven for a fan of Buffering and/or Buffy.

Cried multiple times while listening but in a good way. Awoo!
I listened to the podcast as it was coming out. This memoir shares so much more of what was happening behind the scenes, while also taking you through the journey of the podcast again.
