Mobile Suit Breakdown: the Gundam Podcast

Show Notes

This week on MSB: the second of our dedicated Yugoslavia episodes! In this installment, we return to London to meet the gang of "discredited and out of date politicians" who made up King Peter II's government-in-exile, and find out how they kept themselves busy during the war years. Ready? Go!

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario.

You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

Show Notes

This week on MSB we're covering G Gundam episode 6 as the show finally sees fit to dump a big vat of mouthwatering main plot stew all over us. What deep emotional currents run beneath the seemingly placid surface of Domon Kasshu? Why was he really chosen to pilot the Shining Gundam? Who is the man in the photograph? Is his mother's cooking actually that good? And what exactly was going on in the real Japan around this time?

All this and more on MSB. Ready? Go!

Show Notes

This week we take a break from our regular coverage of G Gundam to return to a research topic that will remain salient throughout the 90s Gundam era: the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and the history that led up to it. In Part 1, Thom picks up the story during World War II, as the old powers of the world begin to come to terms with the increasing inevitability of a Partisan and Communist victory, and gives a proper introduction to the youngest of Marshal Tito's political rivals...

Show notes will be uploaded soon, thank you for your patience.
