Pod Sing Se: An Avatar The Last Airbender Podcast

If you speak Chinese, episode S02E17: Lake Laogai's name might have already spoiled a huge chunk of this episode. But join us anyway as we discuss just how absolutely creepy this episode is, from the implications of multiple Judee's, Zuko's drama hitting a little too close to home, Jet's tragic end, and why Appa needs to commit to violence. And more! :D [Pod Sing Se is a spoilery weekly Avatar: Th...

Join us for S02E16: Appa's Lost Days, arguably THE saddest episode on the series. Jen leads our convo discussing the highs and lows of Appa's journey, including a very angry father at a circus, the morality of circuses existing at all, an epic clash between two badass all-women teams, baby Aang and Appa, and more!

We've arrived at the iconic episode, S02E15: The Tales of Ba Sing Se! Abby leads our convo discussing the merits of each vignette: how we wish Katara and Toph's episode was longer, how we legitmately love that one particular haiku, how Leaves from the Vine will forever wreck our hearts, and that maybe we should remember how awkward we were as teenagers before teasing Zuko about his love life. Ther...

Join Steph as she leads our convo with one of the most insidious and creepy episodes yet, S02E14 City of Walls and Secrets. We discuss how successfully the writers/artists were able to create this slow crawl of dread while still having some of the funnies moments (It's just a bear!?), fantastic Iroh quotes, and Zuko angst, while getting us to also feel incredibly sorry for Jet.  [Pod Sing Se...

The Boomerang Squad is here, and just in the nick of time!

With the news of Nickelodeon teaming up with Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino to form a new entity and create new original works in the Avatar universe, Nicole, Steph, Abby, and Jen decide to spend a bit of time discussing their thoughts on this news, and where it fits in with pop culture's penchant for reboots and extended universes. We'll be back ne...

How many babies named Hope can there possibly be!? This is one of the crucial topics discussed in our convo about S02E12 The Serpent's Pass, led by Jen.

Oh man, what a dire episode S02E11 The Desert is! Abby leads this like, truly upsetting episode, where we see Katara struggle to keep things together, and see Aang being so unsure how to process his grief. It's also hilarious, with one of Sokka's most gif-able episodes, and Iroh forgetting he's part of an ancient secret society of helpful old people. [Pod Sing Se is a spoilery weekly Avatar: The L...

S02E10 The Library, has Stephanie leading the convo as the gaang dives into the depths of the scary yet straightforward Wan Shi Tong.

[Pod Sing Se is a spoil...

Tensions are high for the Gaang in S02E08 The Chase.

And here we are at another fan favorite episode--S02E07 Zuko Alone. Lead by Abby, we explore Zuko's past, his extremely problematic family, his struggles to recognize his own traumas and Uncle's unwavering support, and how circumstances in his life have brought him to this point--starving to death in the Earth Kingdom and incapable of doing manual labor.  [Pod Sing Se is a spoilery weekly Ava...

Welcome to our discussion of S02E02: The Cave of Two Lovers. Stephanie leads our very chaotic convo where we discuss Zuko being a jerk who needs to find himself, Sokka's inner strength for not Losing His Shit, Aang's tragic and short lived love lives, and our insistence that even though we don't care about romance we will still talk about it for half the episode! 🙃 [Pod Sing Se is a spoilery week...

Welcome to our discussion of S01E19: The Siege of the North, Part 1, lead by Abby! There's lots of storylines and setups to discuss in this penultimate season 1 episode, but really, the main question is if we should switch out Zuko's honor count for a "how many times did he almost die this episode" count?

Welcome to our discussion of S01E15: Bato of the Water Tribe, lead by Abby!
