Hello everyone,
As regular visitors to the site will know this section is usually reserved for the latest Amber news. I've taken a few days holiday and I decided it was time to go back and look at a couple of things that I didn't get the opportunity to post about when they were first released.
In October 2023, Amber made an appearance on the ‘Comic News Insider Podcast’. This episode is not a typical episode with a one-on-one interview situation. It was recorded at one of the press events as part of New York Comic Con 2023 where ‘Slayers: A Buffyverse Story’ was one of the featured panels.
The podcast features interviews with Amber Benson, Christopher Golden, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield Ford, Juliet Landau, Laya DeLeon Hayes, James Marsters, and James C. Leary.
Amber and Christopher talk about how ‘Slayers: A Buffyverse Story’ came about, the process of recording the series and why creating an authentic experience for fans was so important to them.
Amber talks about her emotions at having Tara alive again and making sure that even though this version of Tara does some dark things, her goodness, kindness, and empathy are all still there. She highlights why keeping the integrity of the character of Tara was so important as she means so much to fans. Amber also discusses working with Juliet and there are some laughs along the way too.
Charisma discusses a new role for Cordelia while Emma talks about the process of voicing three different characters. Juliet talks about Drusilla as a character and how she drives a lot of the action and working with Buffyverse actors that she didn't get the chance to work with on screen.
Laya discusses being the newcomer into this world and how welcome she was made to feel by the cast and crew. She touches on working with Amber and how she was able to have conversations with her as part of the process while recording.
James Marsters and James Leary talk about stepping back into their roles and the multiverse nature of this new world that Amber and Christopher have created.
Before I go any further, I just want to let people know there is a lot of interference on the audio recording itself and at times it can be very hard to hear certain parts. Comic News Insider explained to fans about this both on their website and as a disclaimer at the start of the recording itself.
Years ago, I studied media so I know first-hand that sometimes technical problems can arise. I just wanted to make people who want to listen are aware. I would recommend listening through headphones rather than trying to play via speakers.

Despite the time that has passed and the issue with the recording, I wanted to post it here as I’m trying to create a full resource of all things relating to ‘Slayers: A Buffyverse Story’.
If you haven't already done so, please check out this link to a petition to Save Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. (click the hyperlink).The petition was set up by Beth Ricketson. I don't know Beth personally but as a fan of both Amber and Buffy the Vampire Slayer I wanted to let fans know about the petition. When I listened to the podcast and the excitement of all of the cast and journalists covering this event I didn't understand Disney's decision to cancel the show.
Despite the sound problems, this is definitely worth a listen for Amber fans.
