11.9: London Falling

About this episode

The episode discusses various Gundam Fighters and their fates while acknowledging the indigenous heritage of the land.

Show Notes This week on MSB, Gundam Fighters never die they just fade away (in the arms of a beautiful woman). A new Ramba Ral shows Domon the fate of a Fighter (or maybe he's a new Duker Iq trying to revive the lost art of shooting and the guns of the middle ages? It's hard to keep track), a new Hamon Crowley proves Rain isn't the only gadgeteer on the sidelines of the Gundam Fight, Thom sees a robot that is cool, and Nina can't believe her ears. All this and more on Mobile Suit Breakdown. 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 .
