The Witches of Letters: A Supernatural Rewatch PodcastEpisode 12: S1E12 “Faith”This week’s episode is apparently really popular within the fandom, but we weren’t feeling it. We thought it was really depressing, but we did record on a Monday so that may have had something to do with it.

We didn’t think this was the best episode for many reasons that we will get into.
