Mobile Suit Breakdown: the Gundam Podcast
@gundampodcast.bsky.social
We make that Gundam podcast you love.
Pinned
Hi! We're a weekly podcast about watching and discussing all of Gundam in order, one episode at a time, and researching the people who made it, the historical and cultural inspirations they drew on, the real (ish) science they incorporated, and the impact it's had on the world.

Also, the song my dad and I danced to at my wedding
This retroactively means the song we were announced to at our wedding reception is a Gundam reference. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, and according to the linear nature of time I can’t be held responsible.

The problem is I can't truly get revenge, because there is no single thing I love that is as colossal as "all of Gundam"
Rolling out a new perk for our Lt. Matilda tier patrons - getting to decide on one of the two bonus episodes we make this month!
The first bonus will be the long-delayed next installment of The Witching Hour, and the second, well... we'll have to see what the patrons choose 👀

As promised, we are inviting YOU, our Lt. Matilda-tier patrons, to vote on this month's exclusive bonus episode!
Our first bonus will be the long-delayed next installment of The Witching Hour, but the second bonus, the one that's just for Mr. Mnyeah and Lt. Matilda patrons? Well that one is up to you. Choose wisely!

Watch-along for a James Bond movie
UNGUNDAM (we talk about non-Gundam things we're enjoying lately)
Zero-context Gun...dress (we watch "one of the worst anime ever made" without knowing anything else about it, then discuss)
Relationship Advice from Nina and Thom
Nina's Revenge (I make Thom read/watch a long series that is important to me, then we chat about it)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:py3dxjv4ze2g3kuhcfc3lddm/bafkreiayodpnetewhl2tgjvpfpyzzqhqyys7obv4dbt3ziy57on7lk2wy4@jpeg)

Did we *completely* re-record the talkback for episode 2 because we felt as though the vibes were off the first time around?
Yes. Yes we did.
THAT'S the "MSB Difference!" 💀

One of our favorite parts of making MSB is the listener community that's grown up around it! When you become a $5+ paid subscriber, you not only get early access to episodes and bonus content, you also get to hang out in our favorite discord community ~

User 1: MSB Discord: the gay people on your phone are into Gundam now
User 2: This is the least neurotypical discord i have been in [complimentary]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:py3dxjv4ze2g3kuhcfc3lddm/bafkreiheb3zbxgn3xxht672tmydhzojvf7dfdifn6pjxukm2ti466duk3y@jpeg)

3 hours left in MSB's annual* pin promotion! (this year, with 2 pins!)
And even once the excitement of pins has worn off, you've still got the absurdly, astonishingly, amazingly awesome MSB patron-only discord! It's become a really lovely community; here's how some current members describe it ~

Why become a paid MSB subscriber? Well on top of early access to new episodes AND bonus content, you get access to our patron-only discord. What's so great about a discord, you might ask... we'll let some of our current members tell you!

Today is the LAST DAY to become a join if you want to receive the patron-exclusive year 6 and 7 pins, or our very last merch-box. But there are lots of other benefits to being a paid subscriber, including, for $5+/month, access to an exclusive discord! We asked current members how they'd pitch it ~

We asked the members of the MSB discord how they'd pitch it to potential subscribers. Here are some of their responses...

User 1: "Do you like Gundam? You wanna hang out with a whole load of cool people who also do?"
User 2: Has a secret adult only linguistics channel
