The podcast that shares stories
Ali celebrates the 250th episode of the podcast by sharing all about her experience attending a live performance of Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert: The 20th Anniversary Tour!
Other ATLA-related episodes:
Ali commemorates the 20th anniversary of Avatar: The Last Airbender by reflecting on what the show means to her, sharing a few silly memories based on what little she saw of it back when it was originally airing, as well as why she’s always loved Kataang from the very beginning.
Additionally, she expresses her infinite excitement for the new upcoming animated projects from Avatar Studios, including the limited series, Avatar: Seven Havens, and the first theatrical movie featuring the Gaang as young adults titled The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender. She also shares her love for the cast of the live-action Netflix adaptation of the series.
To close out the episode, she shares a mushy Kataang story she wrote called “An Air of Certainty.”
“Will you go penguin sledding with me?”
Other ATLA-related episodes:
Ali recaps her experience attending LA Comic Con for her third year in a row, sharing fun tidbits from panels featuring the cast of Rick and Morty and Avatar: The Last Airbender, as well as industry insights from other panelists about writing for animation, post-production, sound editing, and more. She also shares about meeting the voice actor behind the beloved Cabbage Merchant, James Sie, and almost missing the opportunity (but thankfully it worked out) to meet the voice of Aang, the Avatar himself, Zach Tyler Eisen.
More episodes on fan conventions:
