Podcast: Avatar: Braving the ElementsPublished On: Tue Sep 23 2025
Description: Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez joins hosts Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) to break down The Legend of Korra Book Two’s pivotal double episode: “Civil War Parts 1 & 2.” As tensions explode between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, Korra faces her most difficult decision yet - choosing between her father Tonraq and her manipulative uncle Unalaq. Meanwhile, sibling drama unfolds at the Southern Air Temple as Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi confront their past and Avatar Aang’s legacy. Laurie shares her love for the Avatarverse, her favorite ships (Zutara and Korrasami!), and which bending style she’d master in real life. Plus: Bolin’s chaotic romance with Eska, Verick’s platypus bear escape plan, and the unforgettable names of the baby sky bison. And if you’d like to join Janet, Dante and their guest(s) as they react to some amazing action, check out the video version of this episode on the official Avatar Legends YouTube Channel!
