It's a podcast. It's a long podcast. It was actually fun to put together. If you're really not interested in Somalia - stick around past 2:35. The stuff about Somalia is good information, but sort of tangential.
Listen to Somalia, College and Snobs [m4a format; iTunes recommended].
Depending on what y'all think of this one, I may or may not do podcasts in the future. Leave comments! (And if you're reading this on LJ, as always, I only see comments on the actual site.)

Most of the time, Buffy is just fun. Lots of intelligent banter and witty, geeky humor, true, but it's not always terribly deep. Slayage, monsters and big-bads.
And then sometimes, it's just very, very human.
