Because of the Show - Ep34 - Spirits & Supernatural

Twenty years ago a sci-fi show premiered on the WB. Soon it moved to the CW and only grew from there. In this episode, Dawn and Jenny invite some friends to talk about the fandom that has been built around Supernatural. It's amazing the places we've gone because of the show.

Guests: Theresa of 3sa Photography, Valerie of Spotted Hound Design, and Amber of My SPN Fix.
