Believe It! A Naruto Podcast

In this week’s episode of Believe It!, the hosts reveal that they really don’t know anything about Naruto or any pop culture beyond it actually, but they are so sweet for trying. They do expose a lot about their lives, including all of their individual ninja vices and whatever the opposite of “hometown pride” is.    Naruto engages in alternative learning and shows some good ADHD represen...

This episode of Believe It! is much like Kakashi and Lee's comas - a "mental trauma only" type thing!  The hosts discuss some extremely stacked episodes of Naruto: Itachi and Kakashi face off, we finally get Sasuke's tragic backstory, and Itachi and Sasuke finally have their long-awaited showdown... which only adds pain to Sasuke's No Good Dirty Rotten Week.  Kt bids you welcome to Itach...

Trigger Warning : At minute 45, Believe It! cast talks about Orochimaru's toe length for a while. Please listen at your own risk.  Believe It! is back and ready to burst on the haters! In this episode, we cover the aftermath of the Naruto/Gaara fight and the assault on Leaf Village. Duncan reveals his Akatsuki-apologism with nonstop Itachi simpin', as the rest of the cast falls in love w...

This week, the Believe It! hosts learn that Naruto is so bad for your eyes. Between puppets, bugs, and half-transformed demon Gaara, it’s really not worth looking. Duncan gets to talk about the plot of Naruto for one full minute. Does Dom just know the whole Pokédex? Should you ever send an Orochimaru gif to a lover? Did Kt miss an opportunity to say “Gaara-goyle” and decide to just write it here...

This week on Believe It!, the hosts reveal some behind the scenes podcasting secrets, like only sharing one brain cell between four people and verbally describing memes. Oh, I’m sorry, did you come here for a Naruto podcast?  What was the Third Hokage's name? Shubert? Subaru? Kielbasa? What does it take to be the Hokage? What does everyone name their kids in Boruto? Why does Orochimaru double...

This week, your handsome hosts (and Duncan) watch helplessly as Gaara keeps murdering people, and The Chunin Exams get a major shakeup in the form of the Sound Ninja invasion.  Sasuke is back and KT is just thrilled. Dom defends Rock Lee by way of Piccolo, and reveals his real-life fitness inspo. Duncan has another bone to pick. Liam drops some bad animal facts. Sasuke makes Gaara bleed his o...

In this episode of Believe It!, the hosts watch the last round of the Chunin exams. After a brief chat about all the cursed Naruto merch to sift through this holiday season, there’s an uncharacteristically serious discussion about Edgy Neji’s tragic backstory and his reasons for being (sad).   It quickly gives way to Choji’s Chip Corner, Uchiha eye transplant jutsu, and “my dad can turn your...

Sakura and Ino pay Sasuke a visit in the hospital, only to be blessed with finding Lee instead. Naruto lives out his (Dom's?) perfect day before the ultimate test from Jiraiya. The entire cast ends up in the hospital for your new favourite horror film starring Gaara, and watch the longest monologue known to Naruto. Liam still has beef with the logistics of the Sand Village's plan; Dom muses t...

The immediate aftermath of the first round of the Chunin Exams leaves the hosts feeling existential, but the Pervy Sage Jiraiya quickly becomes their entire reason for living. The whole gang finally unanimously love Naruto Uzumaki, who apparently just needed to ditch half of the cast of the show and adopt another father to reach his full potential. Liam takes the cast on the strangest (holiest) de...

In a monumental tenth episode, the hosts celebrate and honour the podcast’s origins by watching Rock Lee vs. Gaara. Oh, there’s also Naruto vs. Kiba, and the Neji vs. Hinata fight (fight?) happens. Mostly this is a Rock Lee worship episode. You should have expected that.    The cast of Naruto is a squad of sad puppies. Duncan basically cries about his sweet baby Lee the whole episode. Do...

In an episode of Believe It! without any jokes whatsoever, the hosts solemnly discuss their favourite moments of the first few fights of the Chunin Exam tournament. Sasuke still can't read, but has somehow recently learned the word "Avenger" to compliment his Copy+Paste Jutsu. Orochimaru is basically a good guy to Liam, turning Garbage Boyz 2 Garbage Men. Dom has Shikamaru big brain. Duncan reveal...

In the most unhinged episode of C̶r̶u̶i̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶W̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶M̶y̶ ̶N̶a̶k̶a̶m̶a̶ Believe It! yet, the hosts descend into insanity, chipping away at Duncan's will to live like an Orochimaru curse mark. Liam writes fan-fiction on air, Kt's lovelist gets a last-minute shakeup from a returning Kakashi, and Dom can't stop talking about Adam Sandler.  This episode covers Naruto Episodes 33-37, dubbed...

Some of the hosts have ( allegedly) committed Naruto Crimes. The punishments are doled out accordingly: a filler episode, Orochimaru body horror, and more Choji.    Sasuke hard carries the team through the Forest of Death. Naruto’s belly is so full and his head is so empty. Sakura shows up to the fight, and Dom unabashedly joins the Sakura fandom.   This covers Naruto episodes 26-32...

The Chunin exams begin and we’re all riled up — mostly because we’ve just exited an alternate reality. Team 10 who? Join our new Konohamaru fan club and listen along as we meet new characters like some animator's Groucho Marx dad, Te-mami, and sex icon Rock Lee. The lists are long, the judgement is plenty, and we dodge talking about major plot points like it's substitution jutsu.  This episod...

The gang says goodbye to “Zabazu”, reminisce about 9-foot-long (in bed) Haku, and witness Kakashi’s herd of dogs. Liam has beef with The Great Naruto bridge and proposes a new name. The Anbu are ninja-cops. The love list dies. Join us on our most unhinged episode yet, as we convert our trauma into yet another episode of Believe It!  This covers Naruto episodes 17-19, dubbed. 

This week, the hosts take a trip to Dumb Bitch City. Population: The entire cast of Naruto. Liam briefly feels happiness while everyone else pays a karmic toll, the “When Does Sakura Get Good” betting pool opens, and you can listen to heads slamming against walls for 45 minutes, if you’re into that kind of thing.  Could Naruto be... bad? This episode covers Naruto episodes 14-16, dubbed.

Our hosts discuss the socioeconomic intricacies of the Land of Waves, Inari being an awful rotten child, and the fallout of Team 7's encounter with their most fearsome foe yet, the villainous Zabuza. They also talk dogs ("dogs"?), e-boys, the shonen Bible, and continue their unadulterated simping for unanimous best-boy Haku. This episode covers Naruto episodes 11-13, dubbed.

The hosts witness Team 7’s first encounter with child-murder-soldier-ninja Zabuza, spitball ideas for a way cooler Naruto, and ponder the ever-important question: what’s a bingo book? Liam’s a contrarian bitch; Kt simply isn’t watching the same show. Drink every time we call Haku beautiful. Let’s go wild!  This episode covers Naruto episodes 8-10, dubbed.

The hosts share their dark anime histories before diving into 7 episodes of Naruto — which is, by any metric, way too many. A trusted source says they could have easily skipped right to Shippuden. It’s called masochism. But hey, it’s 2020. We’ve all got time to watch anime, listen to a tasty double-length pilot episode of a Naruto podcast, shop online for Kakashi body pillows… This pilot episode o...
