Equivalent Exchange: A Fullmetal Alchemist Podcast

Ed and Al reconnect with their teacher Izumi. They chat about their travels and demonstrate how much they’ve progressed in their studies and alchemical practice. Izumi realizes that all has not been well with the boys since they last met, and demands that they spill the beans. We learn more about how Izumi, how the three met, how Ed & Al demanded to be taken under the old lady’s wing, and just how she trained them for the first month of their apprenticeship...

The gang arrives in Rush Valley. In the chaos of all the mechanics there ooh-ing and ahh-ing over Ed’s automail, a pickpocket named Paninya makes off with his State Alchemist’s pocket watch. Winry eventually catches her, and it turns out that she too has automail to ooh and ahh over. Winry convinces Paninya to take the gang to see the mechanic who made her automail.

Deep in the mountains, they meet said grouchy mechanic Dominic, his son Ridel and daughter in law Satera, who is heavily pregnant. All the talk of automail and Winry asking to become his apprentice falls to the wayside when Satera goes into labor during a crazy storm. With no way to make it into town to the hospital, Dominic goes to get the doctor. Babies don’t wait around for storms to end or doctors to arrive, so despite her nerves, Winry takes charge and manages to deliver the baby safely.

After all the hijinks, Ed & Al finally make it to their teacher’s house in Dublith...
