Tiny Fences: A Buffy Podcast

Tiny Fences is a conversational rewatch and recap show with a fondness for genre television, films, and the side roads of fandom canon. It began as a Buffy-centered project and, in these episodes, stretches into Dollhouse, Firefly, Serenity, graphic novels, The Dark Crystal, and seasonal movie specials. Andrea Westaway and Taylor Hennessey anchor the discussion as recurring named voices. Their style is loose, playful, and detail-hungry. They can linger over a plot point, then swing into a joke about a costume, a prop, a song, or a very specific comic-book panel. The Firefly episodes show the format clearly. Serenity becomes a full crew conversation, with attention to Mal, Kaylee, Simon, River, Wash, Book, Zoe, and the emotional damage still carried by the movie. The graphic novel episodes treat tie-in comics as real story objects, crediting writers, artists, colorists, letterers, covers, and alternate editions before working through the action. The Shepherd's Tale leads them into Book's past and the meaning of simple, hard-won grace. Better Days opens the door to fantasies, jokes, money, and lingering questions about character history. Leaves on the Wind lets them track the feeling of a second Serenity movie on the page. Dollhouse coverage is more puzzle-like, especially around Echo, Bennett, Caroline, and the Washington D.C. dollhouse. The Dark Crystal special brings childhood memory, first-time viewing, scary imagery, and bigger questions about power and innocence into one table-talk rhythm. Holiday specials loosen the structure even further. The show is funny without needing to be polished smooth. It is fannish without being closed off. Its best moments sound like two people making sense of beloved, messy media in real time, carrying the listener through the story even when the listener has not read the comic or revisited the episode.
