Summary

It’s Book One’s spectacular finale episode, and we’re talking about it with the spectacular author of the first five ATLA graphic novels, Gene Luen Yang! Janet and Dante wrap up the recap side of BTE in the second-to-last episode of the podcast’s first season, and they’re doing it in style, thanks to Gene’s insight and perspective. Highlights include Gene’s own background (in teaching, which we love!) and how he came to the Avatarverse, the creepy coolness of Koh (and all the faces he loves to show off), and of course, a lot of talk around Princess Yue and a pair of very important fish. An epic Book One ending deserves an epic conversation. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:54.9	He owns it so proudly. No, that was a blast. And yeah, it was so fun to hear from his perspective,
1:00.1	like just being in the early stages of the show. And I love the story he told about seeing the pilot and being like,
1:05.9	oh, my friends are up to something really cool and having no idea that eventually they were going to ask him to be a
1:11.7	part of it. That was great. Great stories. Speaking of being very excited about people who have
