We're the Angels and the Darlas, and in time we'll be syndicated too.
But for now, there's not a door that you can close and we we can't creep through

Angels and Darlas by Say Hi

Listen as Carra and Clover do a deep dive into one of our favorite vampire relationships, Angel and Darla. The hosts go through the timeline starting from 1609 covering up to Darla's tragic and always untimely death in Angel season 3. We cover several flashback episodes of Buffy and Angel. This has been SUCH a fun project, but we're definitely taking some additional time off before starting BTVS Season 2!
