REPUBLIC CITY DISPATCH #7: BONUS EPISODE!
BE FOREWARNED – Discussion includes Avatar: The Last Airbender, Chapters 1-7 of The Legend of Korra and could expand to include The Promise (Part One), Nick.com’s “Welcome To Republic City” at any time.
Good Morning Benders and Non-Benders alike and Welcome to The Republic City Dispatch, a radio programme covering Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra series. This week: a special bonus episode while time stands still in Republic City. This episode goes out to Air Temple Island with this special message from our listeners: “Korra, Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, Pabu, Naga, Assami, Pema, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo – everyone take a moment to relax!” It’s time for Matt, Da7e and Devindra!
This week-without-and-episode, we talk about internet fandom and how it relates to criticism, how we got involved in online fandom, if it’s fair to apply straight criticism to Korra before it is over – PLUS – a Lightning Round covering our most frequently asked questions and posed theories and each member of the podcast has something you should check out to tide you over until next Saturday when Korra returns (or that’s what it looks like – that’s on the podcast too).
Hosted by Devindra Hardawar of the /Filmcast and Da7e and Matt Patches of Operation Kino.

I couldn’t find a link to the original artist, but Here is the original post! fully anthropomorphized Pabu and Naga are pretty sweet.
First off, we’d like to thank you for shooting Republic City Dispatch into the #2 spot on iTunes Film & TV podcast chart after less than a week of being there. We’re coming, Pop Culture Happy Hour!

Second:
LET US ALL BE FRIENDS!
We’ve been loving your responses/comments/questions and have been receiving a bit more than we were expecting (we can HANDLE it, we just weren’t expecting it).
You can submit questions to us via Tumblr or e-mail.
As you all reveal your inner genius, I promise we will read everything, we will publish theories, comments, questions, freakouts, art, links and suggestions on the blog if we think they contribute to the greater discussion of Korra and the world of Avatar.
What we won’t respond to are anonymous comments like this:
I don’t exactly have any questions. But I do have some things I’d like to say. I love listening to the podcast, but I feel like I HAVE to correct some things that you said. Amon’s name is pronounced like a Jamaican guy saying “A man” (A mon) and not like “A moan”. Also, I bunch of people died in Airbender. Commander Zhao, Princess Yue, Combustion-man, and we also saw Roku and Katara’s mom die in flashbacks). And lastly, I don’t know which one of you called Aang, “Ong,” but that is unforgivable.
Your corrections and Getting-Mads-At will be read, and be assured that we all have great shame when we’re listening to the episode and hear someone pronounce something wrong or represent something wrong. Also, if you’re right and we’re in the position to correct it (like yesterday’s brief fiasco when Da7e got Iroh’s son’s name wrong with the best intentions), we will.
We’re getting it: a woman podcaster, exclusives, correct pronunciations. We really, really, really want to be part of your cool kids club, and are taking it very seriously.
We just can’t respond to criticism left anonymously and still get anything done.
Everyone who has submitted thus far has done it completely right, our inbox is brimming with great theories from the wild (“Tenzin is Amon!” to the likely “I want Korra and Aang to meet in The Avatar State”) and interacting has been so much fun.
