The Cabbage Cart Podcast: All Things Avatar

Welcome back! We are so stoked to be back in studio this week as we dust off the cobwebs and fire up the microphones.

Welcome back! This week on the cart we resume our Yangchen series, with Chapters 18 through 20. We are having a lot of fun with this series and Yangchen is of course another great piece of work by Author F.C. Yee....with that being said, of course we have to nitpick it! Grab your books and follow along.

Welcome back! This week on The Cart we take a break from our Dawn of Yangchen series to discuss the Industrial Revolution of ATLA/TLOK. In typical Cabbage Cart fashion, we also go off topic to discuss current video games such as the newly released Overwatch 2, and other pop-culture topics! This episode is abit outside our typical scope of discussion but we had a lot of fun and hope you do too! Yip Yip!

Welcome back! This week on The Cart we continue with the Dawn of Yangchen, chapters 16 and 17. With the Shangs of Bin-Er clearly up to no good (and ignoring the Avatars pleas for better livelihoods for workers), Yangchen takes it upon herself to figure out exactly what is going on and what this "Unanimity" business is all about.

Welcome back! This week on The Cart we are joined by none other than our friend AJ; expert linguist and professional word pronouncer! Join us as we continue the story of Yangchen in Chapters 11 through 15.

Welcome back! This week on The Cart we continue with The Dawn of Yangchen. The story really starts to piece itself together in chapters 6 through 10, but still leaves plenty of room for predictions and guess-timations! Join us in the discussion as we find out exactly what Kaviks motives are, and get a glimpse at who Avatar Yangchen really is.

Welcome back! The time has finally come! Today on The Cart we crack open The Dawn of Yangchen, written by F.C. Yee.

Grab your book and join along!

Filled with hand-written and heartfelt letters, notes gleaming with reminiscence, and a menu from The Jasmine Dragon; we experience the love and appreciation that Iroh holds for Zuko from none other then Iroh himself.
