The Podbender in the Iceberg

In this first episode of Avatar State Radio, Kev and Mike dive into Avatar: The Last Airbender (Season 1, Episode 1: The Boy in the Iceberg). As Kev experiences the show for the first time, he shares his impressions of Sokka’s rough edges, Katara’s strength, and Aang’s shocking discovery that 100 years have passed. Mike explains bending and debates whether it’s a skill for the few or the many while they question Uncle Iroh’s true nature and Zuko’s impulsive decisions.

Kev quickly falls for Appa, Aang’s love of penguins, and the quirky animal mashups. Mike drops trivia about Zuko and Iroh being late additions, Katara’s original name, and Dave Filoni’s involvement—though Kev might have spoiled that fun fact! Together, they embark on this rewatch, with Kev loving the show already.
