A Yona of the Dawn (or Akatsuki no Yona) podcast.

    Chagol Arc (205-240)

    Chagol Arc (205-240)

    We are finally back with our final episode! Until the end of the series, that is. We're talking about everything post-palace. As I mention in the beginning of the episode, wait to listen to this one if you're avoiding spoilers or anything not officially translated!

    **Please note that this episode is not fully edited. Frankly, my dad has been on a slow decline since the beginning of the year and is probably not going to make it much longer so I don't know when I'll have the time or energy to edit anytime soon. I didn't want to come back to this after a year, though, so I'm releasing it now. I apologize for any long pauses, awkward lulls where we try to figure out what to discuss next, or audio level issues.

    Mentioned in the episode:

    Where Your Heart Leads by Tavyn

    @Ann_archyy on twitter

    (I don't know that we addressed your questions very well, but I appreciate you sending them in!)

    Alright, everyone. Stay safe. Thank you for listening. See you next time. Bye!

    Palace Arc Part II (191-205)

    Palace Arc Part II (191-205)

    Part two of the Palace Arc is here! We talk at length about Yon-Hi's diary and dive into the morally grey realm of Soo-Won and Yona's dead parents. Then, we get a new character - Mei Nayan - and really struggle to figure out how to pronounce her name. 

    If you're listening as these come out, thank you for your patience. I had a family emergency and wasn't able to edit for a while. 

    You can, as always, find us on twitter or gmail @ theyonapod or tumblr @ theyonapodcast. Otherwise, we'll see you all next week for the final episode of the podcast (for now)!

    Palace Arc Part I (179-190)

    Palace Arc Part I (179-190)

    Is this arc good? Unclear! Is it better than you probably remember it being? Almost definitely! 

    This week, we're diving into the first half-ish of the Palace Arc. Everyone's having a no good very bad day (except for Kye-Sook), the drama is off the charts, and Hak doesn't make stupid decisions. It's great. 

    Also discussed: Kung Fu Panda, asking saints to help football teams, and the Obiyuki Madness bracket (which is now halfway over but you can definitely still vote in the last few rounds if you want!) https://snowwhite-andtheknight.tumblr.com

    Speaking of, if you're curious about the Snowdrop fic I mentioned, here it is: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10508889 

    As always, come find us on twitter or gmail @theyonapod or tumblr @theyonapodcast. We'll see you next week for Yon-Hi's diary and, like, a little bit of stuff after that.

    Kuelbo Arc Part II (Chapters 160-178)

    Kuelbo Arc Part II (Chapters 160-178)

    Jen is back to help up finish out the Kuelbo arc. We finally talk about the Big Damn Kiss, the incredibly sad end to this section, and writing smutty fanfiction.

    I have to assume everyone is caught up at this point, but super mild spoilers from 23:00-25:00 for the next arc.  

    If you're interested, The Power of Love from Sailor Moon R the Movie: Promise of the Rose is here on youtube (or you can search for it since links don't always show up?).

    You can find Jen on tumblr and AO3 @sabraeal and twitter @sabraeal1. 

    We are on gmail and twitter @theyonapod and tumblr @theyonapodcast. 

    See you in a few weeks with the ~controversial~ palace/castle arc!

    Kuelbo Arc Part I (Chapters 160-178)

    Kuelbo Arc Part I (Chapters 160-178)

    So...we tried something new. We attempted to cover 18 chapters. With a guest. It went very long and will have a Part 2 next week. 

    But the info for this week! Our guest Jen (Sabraeal) has returned for a second time to talk about alpha romance hero Kuelbo. Jen does not understand the Kuelbo hype, but Evan and I do. Oh do we.  

    PLEASE NOTE: we discuss non-con and dub-con quite a bit throughout the episode. Words like "rape" and "sexual assault" are used. Please tread lightly or skip this episode if that's something that will bother you. Be safe! 

    Final notes: we're on twitter and gmail @theyonapod and tumblr @theyonapodcast. Jen is on tumblr and AO3 @sabraeal and twitter @sabraeal1.

    Chapters 158-159

    Chapters 158-159

    We're back with the same guest from last week! Karyn is still hanging out to talk about the funniest chapter in the series. The gang goes to Tae-Jun's special house and basically immediately have to leave because no one can act right. Shenanigans ensue. Meanwhile, Lili thinks Kye-Sook is a dumbass.

    Also discussed: The Bell Jar. 

    If you don't make it to the end of the episode, please note that we will be taking a bit of a break after this episode and it will probably be a couple of weeks before a new one comes out. We hope you'll join us then!

Awesome show!

Obsessed with this pod

Love it

This podcast is so much fun. I disagree with a lot of what Alex says and I find myself grumbling at my AirPod haha. That said she’s great and so is Evan. I go to bed listening to their narration of the chapters and have coffee next morning to their anime opinions and predictions. Can’t wait to be caught up! Keep up the good work.
