    Question
    Now that you are done reviewing avatar the last air bender, are you going to cover the legend of kora?
  • Cloudgladiator44
    Disappointing
    All this podcast does is recap not interested, I like how the creators episodes when they are on but overall not a podcast for me.

    Missed Dante twice!
    Went to anime fiesta in my area to see Dante bad I but my kids dragged me to another voice actor so my awesome little sister took my funko pop to get signed by him. I met Janet the last time she came to anime fiesta and she is great! Dante I hear from my sister that you’re great too! Thank you guys so much!!!!

    Looking forward to Korra
    Look, I love Dante Basco as much as any ATLA fan. He’s iconic, he’s funny and he and Janet Varney have wonderful chemistry. But, IMHO he isn’t the best choice for a podcast as a platform. He often repeats himself, makes repetitive jokes and veers off track. I find it hard to enjoy certain guests because Dante can slow things down. Janet is a great host, she often takes lead and keeps the show on track. But at the same time I noticed she has to reel Dante in to focus on the episode contents. I’m very excited for Varney to host The Legend of Korra podcast. I’m realllllly hoping they bring on another co-host. Perhaps someone from Korra, maybe even Seychelle Gabriel if she’s willing! Korra is a heavy show with lots of serious talking points. I recall Dante saying he’s never even watched all 4 seasons. I’m hopeful! But I’m also such a huge fan that I’ll listen either way.

    A Longtime Fan’s Dream Come True
    Janet and Dante are incredible in every way, and this podcast has been a staple in my life since it began. Janet and Dante tease out every moment of hilarity, sadness, and overall significance while bringing wonderful guest that always add another dimension to an already vibrant conversation. Janet and Dante love this world just as much as fans, and this podcast is perfect evidence of that fact.

    Absolutely love!!!
    I recently finally joined the ATLAB fandom and find the hype completely deserved! I needed more as soon as I finished watching and this podcast delivers. Dante and Janet are so wholesome, knowledgeable, and willing to learn. I really enjoy their perspectives and the variety of segments they bring to the show. Great podcast to dive deeper into the lore and get to know the why and how behind the characters and story. Plus so fun to hear Zuko’s voice breaking down the show details! Love it and highly recommend.

    LOVE THIS TO MUCH
    I am such a Avatar FAN this is the best podcast EVER!! Also I LOVE WHEN YOU TALK TO THE CAST!!!!!!!!! THIS is literally the only podcast I listen to! If You Love Avatar then This Is the podcast for you!
  • Jone$$$$
    so close to being great
    I feel like since the episode are usually 40ish minutes sometimes less then you have these long ads. When you guys spend 25 minutes just giving a play by play of the entire episode by the time your done with that then you only have like 8 minutes to actually talk about the episode.. idk just the whole flow of this podcast throws me off I wish there was more time. but if that’s the format you prefer then you’ll love this podcast

    I love it! Can you please recap the comics📚? And do an episode were you bring in the voice actors from the whole team avatar⬇️? Recap the chibi shorts please🥺! Can you also make an episode all about ships💕, and have the voice actor for katara? (Mae Whitman)💦. Also a happy pride episode 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ but ✨AMAZING✨I LOVE KOALA OTTERS ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕 - a good bloodbender 😗
  • SELENA IS MY WIFE
    I love this podcast!! Cabbage head for LIFE
    Dante and Janet are absolutely delightful hosts. i honestly wish someone would animate this podcasts so that it looks like Korra and Zuko are just geeking over this franchise they were part of. Can’t wait for many more seasons!! Keep it up!! YIP YIP
  • i have no nik name ok?
    Y’all are good
    These kids must be firebenders cause this show is HOT. (help I’m not even a firebender)
  • Snakes 🐍 rule
    Good overall
    This podcast wasn’t bad but it was just too much review. More behind the scenes.
  • TJHR11
    As Cozy As Snuggling Up with Appa
    Great listen!! Listening to this podcast brings back all the feelings I had watching the show. Nothing like having Korra and Zuko reminisce with you about Team Avatar’s adventures.
  • Erock878
    Great Podcast, for an incredible show
    I’ve been unwell and this podcast has been an oasis for me during a rough time. I really appreciate Janet and Dante’s banter and all the inside jokes. I’m currently on the “puppet master” episode and like many it’s one of my favorites. It feels like a turning point for the series and Katara’s journey and growth. I remember watching the series originally and getting frustrated that Katara needed an obvious source of water in order to bend, I’d say “there’s water everywhere’”, then book 3 comes along and I not only felt validated, but impressed that the creators were ahead of the game. Lastly, Hama’s defeat reminds me of Olena Tyrell’s (of Game of Thrones), even though she loses in the end, she ultimately wins because she passes on her legacy. Amazing episode!
  • Ames-Bee
    It’s just really special 10/10
    This is my favorite podcast. I’m constantly just grinning like an idiot while listening to this at work. It’s just so special getting all these insider looks into these series with all the people that brought them to life.
  • sam 576

    Flameo Hot Men ( and women )🔥🔥
    I love this show and when I found out about this podcast I was all over it. You two are the perfect people to host this and I love how you did it. But if I could make one request I would make more shows like legend of Korra, where they show an earth bending avatar, and maybe even a fire bending avatar after that. And maybe see who Kora marries 👉👈 if she does. This show is so good and has brought me so much happiness.😀😀Thank you so much. And a note to nickelodeon, yall need to make another podcast about The Legend of Kora. That would make it all complete.

    Awesome Podcast
    I enjoy the podcast. Both Dante and Janet put so much effort to fully dissect episodes, iconic moments and just having a good time. I’m rewatching the series along with the podcast. I’m going through a difficult time and this podcast keeps me distracted and entertained. Sending much love from a fellow waterbender. Sorry Dante 😜
  • Jerry Geho
    Love the Pod, Premium mixing into general feed not so much
    FaIthful listener and lover of ATLA. The premium subscription add on has kinda blocked up my feed. Makes it hard to find things and know when new stuff drops for the non paid listeners. Other than that I’m glad they are back and hope they do Korra!
  • Sum Bumbadil
    So much love to Braving the Elements
    I’m a huge fan of the show and have been listening since it began! I had the utmost pleasure of meeting Janet at Granite State Comic Con a few years back. (I was wearing the purple velvet coat and Raccoon vertebrae earrings with the amethyst we both bonded over). You were such a gem to meet Janet! Anyways thank you for working so hard on the podcast. I look forward to the rest of this season and can’t wait to get into Korra! I’m also currently listening to the new episode (The Avatar and the Firelord) and I think we just need to mention the huge name that voiced Sozin mister Ron Perlman! But I believe that Hiro Kanagawa voiced him as well. Perhaps the older version.

  • FireFerret324
    Amazing
    Didn’t think it was possible to love and appreciate the brilliance of ATLA and LOK until listening to this podcast. All the insight you never knew you needed… all delivered from Zuko and Korra. You guys (along with everyone else who worked on the show) are amazing. Thank you!

    This has nothing to do with the podcast
    There was a add that made this cereal seem like it would get your kid high

    Get through season 1, because season 2 is much better!
    The production quality for the first season wasn’t great, but the interviews were great. The two hosts Janet and Dante did talk over each other quite a bit in the first season, but I think it’s just because this is a new format for them. The second season is excellent. Not only did they come to a consistent style to present the show, but they also got a production team and the audio quality is much much better. The first season was almost intolerable to listen to, from a technical perspective, because the episodes were mixed very poorly. There was no compression on the vocals, and sometimes Dante would speak very loudly, and it would blow up my speakers. I had to ride my volume control every time I’d listen to the show, especially if I had it turned up to combat the road noise of my car. I’m very much looking forward to listening to the rest of the show as the quality has improved so much more. I’m even looking forward to listening to the Korra episodes.

    Greed
    The first two season were 5/5, but hiding the entire book 3 except for the first episode behind a pay wall just leaves a bad taste.
  • RFQ21
    Forever fans!
    My husband & son introduced me to this show when it first came out. I was pregnant with my 2nd son. I love to say he is as old as the original series. We have been fans ever since. We own the original series on DVD. We dressed as the elements one Halloween. When it came out on Netflix we were thrilled & it is often something we watch when there’s nothing to watch. I have recently discovered this podcast & even though I have watched it from the inception, I have learned soooo much just listening. Thank you for bringing new insight to a show my family & I have watched since the start.
  • Niki2728
    The Best podcast ever!
    These two are the perfect hosts! I do think it would be an interesting episode to talk about the live action movie or “the movie that must not be named”. I would love to hear Dante’s and Janet’s thoughts on it. But they are doing a fantastic job!
  • shachadourian
    So much fun with great insights!
    I learned about this show from a youtube channel i’m subscribed to and i couldn’t be happier to have been introduced to it!! I adore ATLA and Korra, so this show is a great listen because i get to learn more about the show but also hear thoughts from those involved! Wish i could give it more than 5 stars ❤️
  • Mooney Tenkaichi
    Great podcast great insight on the show!
    Kora hosting is ❤️
  • Katakus
    So excited for this
    My family LOVES avatar. We have watched it since the beginning. And I say since because we do regular re-watches. This was the one show my whole family could always agree on. My 16 yo son just started a rewatch recently, so I’m looking forward to listening to more of these episodes.
  • rabbitlover17
    Amazing
    I don’t know this podcast exist until I come across it on social media. I grow up with this show as kid and this podcast is amazing and funny. I am always been a fan of the show 🪨💧💨🔥
  • StarWarsV-Man
    The best show ever
    I am a person who loves to listen to my two favorite characters in the Avatar universe talk about Avatar. Thank you so much for helping me enjoy Avatar so much more now. Janet is so amazing and so is Dante. Sometimes I need that pick me up and this is how I help myself. This is my favorite podcast ever and I can’t wait for more
  • kobefanlakersfan

    Ahhs, awes and ughs
    Started off LOVING it. I wish I could give it 5 stars. Was so excited to hear from behind the scenes writers, directors etc- people actually involved in the show! Having guest stars that are completely unrelated killed the mood. And I feel Janet interrupts a lot and needs to have her words poured over everyone’s. It makes other people stop and sometimes not finish where they were going. Really annoying. The playful attacks on Dante, I wonder if it bothers him? And when he was out for a while it was really sad. Also it kind of bugs me to hear Janet tell Dante to ask a question but she says the question aloud so it’s redundant… I’m complaining a lot but one more thing- the recycled episodes are AWFUL. If I wanted to hear an old episode I would go back. If you have nothing new to add then don’t post! HMPH! But…! I still listen because it’s still good and interesting. Voice actors/actresses are super fun. The guest stars are very insightful! I was trying to watch along but it takes forever to get to the next episode sometimes. So I watched all the way through a couple times. I listen to this at work which is really awesome. Give it a listen. The lost days cracks me every time. </3

    Flameo!!!!!🔥
    I love Avatar Last Airbender so so much I’ve watched the whole thing like 5 times ( which isn’t enough!) and this podcast is amazing! I never knew I needed a podcast hosted by Zuko and Korra. But I need it. Zuko is my favorite character.Then Toph. Then Sokka. then everyone else. LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST! I am so happy your gonna end hiatus soon! Keep up the great work!

    Can’t wait for the next season
  • her0visi0n
    Where was this podcast all my life?
    Somehow this flew under my radar for the past 3 years. Foreshadow report - ended up binging all the episodes in two months comfortably. Janet Varney and Dante Basco have such an endearing dynamic, and the love and cohesion feels very authentic. Love the deep-dive-episode format, mixed in with appearances by incredibly talented people. People who worked on Avatar that provide incredible behind the scenes takes. Or colleagues in the podcast and voice over spheres that are a treasure trove of funny or heartfelt or enlightening stories. I was genuinely sad when I got a few episodes in, and realized there haven’t been any episodes in months. So I can’t tell you the utter excitement that was channeled when I saw the season 3 announcement!! Seriously can’t wait. If you’re a fan of Avatar or Korra, this podcast is definitely for you!
  • Avatar layara
    Sooo awesome
    I found avatar and will not let it go. So blessed to be part of this amazing and wonderful fandom! ☁️💧🔥🪨
