06/10/24 • 87 min
We welcome Shanan Custer to tell her the story of the exhibition.
Drona wants to show off all he has taught his students, to bring unity to the Kuru clan and dazzle everyone with Arjuna's unparalleled skill. It doesn't go well. ☹️ Shannan expects the grudge match between Bheem and Duryhodana to be what ruins everything. Azure has specific questions on who did all the arranging. No one was expecting this character to return and level up the boyish taunting.
Who do you think would have won if the contest between Arjuna and Karna went forth? Let us know in the comments section of the episode page

NYMM 09: The Jungle Kid with Mad Skills.
For this episode we continue our adventure with Nick Mroczek by introducing him to Ekalavya, the forest kid with archery skills that inexplicably are better than Arjuna's. He claims Drona taught him, but what is the real truth? Nick is skeptical of Ekalavya's methods, and Azure is disgusted with Drona's actions to keep his promise to Arjuna.
What do you think of Ekalavya using just his imagination to perfect his archery? Let us know in the comment section of the episode page.

NYMM 11: ‘Why are Teenagers Warring with my Kingdom?’
Aaron Bodling joins us to hear the story of Drupada as he is attacked by the Kuru clan.
Drupada is a good king who has ruled by the wisdom he has gained from his guru, so he has no idea why a bunch of teenagers are leading an army against him. Aaron and Azure love the flashback and different version of Drupada's daughter/son Shikhandi. Satish is thrilled to rediscover Drupada's importance in the Mahabharata, and foreshadows galore with the new characters introduced at the end.
Which of Drupada's three children are you most invested in? Shikhandi, Drishtadyumna, or Draupadi? Answer in the comments section of the episode page.
