Summary
For Gethard's birthday, we're doing something kinda stupid but also totally sincere: an entire episode about Avatar: The Last Airbender. After months of threatening to turn Beautiful/Anonymous into an Avatar podcast, Geth finally makes good on his word and talks to callers about bending, Zuko, Uncle Iroh, family bonding, and uh . . . a dog who isn't really a dog? Maybe? (Sorry, I still don't really know what the show is about - Andrea) and why this cartoon from 20 years ago still matters so much to so many people today. Happy birthday, Geth!
