It seems like this had to happen eventually. There is now a podcast for Xena lovers, the XenaCast by Amy Boatman. There's only one episode available so far, and although there's a web address attached to the episode, all you'll find at the site are the words "Coming Soon!"

I found the podcast through the built-in directory in Juice, but you can also find it through podcast aggregator sites like Podcast Pickle.

The first episode is over an hour and includes a personalized summary of the first four episodes of Season 1. This seems to be the format of the show: show summary, but Amy Boatman is asking for feedback on the podcast so here's your chance to give her shape future shows.

The podcast is subtext-friendly, but the summary format of the Xenacast puts the emphasis on plot, rather than the characters. Amy Boatman does describe Xena as she appears in the first episode as "don't touch me, don't love me," which I thought was a nice description.

I'm interested to see how this develops, and if other Xena fans decide to enter the podcasting space.
