I'm pleased to announce @gundampodcast.bsky.social is getting a new cohost! Everyone say hi to Mersey:

It's time for MSB's guide to visiting Mexico during the 13th Gundam Fight! Home of fan-favorite, the Tequila Gundam, there's lots to do and see - let us show you around ~ www.patreon.com/posts/msbs-g...

Our Lt. Matilda patrons vote on each month's exclusive bonus episode! The past 2 months they've chosen "Nina's Revenge," where Nina is making Thom read a favorite series of hers: the Temeraire books by Naomi Novik. They just finished Book 2, and eligible subscribers can listen here: buff.ly/LXgnbST

I won't lie I am very proud of this illustration!!! I loved drawing Chara, please enjoy it! Thank you so much for asking me to design this card <3

It's official, and everyone who said I was wrong about this is now legally required to apologize

G Companion #8 - once again, things get musical! For G Gundam episode 8, we listened to the 1985 album, "Merci," by French band Magma... www.patreon.com/posts/g-comp...

Welcome to MSB's Guide to Visiting Japan* during the 13th Gundam Fight! *It is against Gundam Fight regulations to leave Earth while the fight is in-progress. Surely neither Domon nor the Neo Japan government would risk breaking the rules, even for a possible advantage in the competition...

[email protected], @thaliarchus.bsky.social, @spacequeenemily.bsky.social, @sundownmcmoon.bsky.social, @mecha-tho.bsky.social, @ninagonzalez.bsky.social, and @minovskyarticle.bsky.social! We couldn't be more excited!!! HAIL, BIG FIRE FREQUENCEY!!! ALLEGIANCE OR DEATH!

Covering the Gundam series in production order has been fun but we're getting bored so after G we've decided to save everyone some time by skipping ahead to Reconguista and then wrapping up the podcast. Thanks for listening!

That's right! Paid subscribers can listen to this one TODAY

Finally got around to adding the latest MSB pins to the panel for my ita bag!

It has taken me five years but finally one of my absolutely correct Gundam opinions has been immortalized in a episode of @gundampodcast.bsky.social 🥌

📌📌 @gundampodcast.bsky.social

Shield Chan is now Sleep Chan! @gundampodcast.bsky.social

Nina came down with a cold, which prevented us finishing this week's episode. We're going to take a few days off so that she can recover, and be back on our normal release schedule next week!

there is no universe in which Char turns down an interview with Chotiner

That’s not true, but as of the year 0079 of the universal century, a half-century had passed since mankind began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

Reposting this original G Gundam ‘Flying in the Sky’ karaoke lyrics clip, that came bundled as a data perk on the original mini CD single. I had to buy custom karaoke software to extract this 😆 youtu.be/4c9wSB-8_TU

@gundampodcast.bsky.social Something most excellent has arrived in the Scottish Highlands!! Now I need Domon to fight a kilted G-Fighter, Highlander style across some rolling hills!

Just got my pins from @gundampodcast.bsky.social Damn they look super good. Glad I finally broke down and supported them. Almost caught up to current eps. Now where do I display them?

Are the locations in G Gundam's third episode real or imaginary? Are they faithful depictions of famous sites or an effort to conjure Chinese "vibes" based on an amalgam of pop-imagery and classical art? We try to figure it out: www.patreon.com/posts/msbs-g...

We are proud to present MSB's Guide to Visiting Paris during the 13th Gundam Fight! Thom and Nina agree that the best way to see Paris is on-foot, but they didn't have access to an airship... www.patreon.com/posts/msbs-g...

February's bonus episodes: the return of The Witching Hour, and a new series we're calling Nina's Revenge! What's in store for March? Stay tuned...

RIP Neil Sedaka, the man responsible for the opening and ending themes for Zeta Gundam.

G Companion #5: With a prison that looks like THAT and a character who calls himself "Birdman," this one felt obvious! www.patreon.com/posts/g-comp...

Stitched together panning shot from Mobile Fighter G Gundam episode 2 showing past participants in the Gundam Fight:

sometimes the exactly-right words just come to you, exactly when you need them.

More for the pin collection! @gundampodcast.bsky.social

Was going to take the first two-thirds of the pin packages to the post office today, but the SNOWICANE laughed at my plans...

It’s true I’m a Tomino sicko. Shout out to @gundampodcast.bsky.social who I got this from.

G-Companion pt 4: We watched a single music video! youtu.be/amUiQ9krzM0 Why did we watch it? In an interview, Imagawa talks about using the video to get a sense of the streetscapes of Paris. (After watching, I can't imagine it was terribly helpful...)

Because someone asked, the missing states are Vermont, South Dakota, Montana, and Mississippi. Also most of the other US territories (Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Marshall Isl., US Virgin Isl., US Minor Outlying Isl., Palau, Northern Mariana Isl.) and two of the 3 armed-forces postal codes.

Pins? PACKED This year, 500+ pin packages are going to 15 countries, and to 49 different US States and Territories! Once they've got their shipping labels, they'll be ready to send off into the world - expect another update when they've all been mailed 😊
