MSB is a weekly Gundam podcast for new fans, old fans, and not yet fans. Nina (a Gundam first-timer) and Thom (a lifelong Gundam fan) analyze and research all 40-years of the iconic sci-fi anime mega-franchise Mobile Suit Gundam - in the order it was made. They research its influences, examine its themes, and discuss how each piece of the Gundam canon fits within the changing context in Japan and the world, from 1979 to today.

Independent and ad-free thanks to the generous support of our listeners, MSB is a deep but accessible companion guide to the animated universe(s) of Gundam. New fans can listen without fear of spoilers, and long-time fans will discover new depths to mecha’s most storied franchise as MSB dives into everything from character psychology to visual references, Japanese history to production staff biographies, and pigeon-guided-bombs to the politics of kissing.
