About this listen

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re taking the stage with Season 1, Episode 9 — “The Puppet Show.” Sunnydale High hosts a talent show (already a red flag), Principal Snyder makes his unforgettable debut, and somehow a ventriloquist dummy becomes suspect number one in a string of very real murders. Peak early-Buffy chaos.


We break down Buffy’s suspicion of Sid the puppet, Giles’ descent into talent-show-director hell, and why this episode works so well as a classic Season 1 monster-of-the-week entry.


Grab your spotlight, your wooden stake, and try not to heckle the performers — it’s Buffy at its creepiest, goofiest, and most surprisingly sincere.


Slay along with us every Tuesday!

Watch Episode 10: “Nightmares” before next week — and until next Tuesday… if the apocalypse comes, beep us!
