Hello, darlings... What is it you truly desire? Let’s start from the beginning. You know Lucifer used to be God’s favorite angel... Those were the days... Oh, where to start? Well, I’m the devil. I basically invented Daddy Issues, waged a war, and got banished to rule hell but decided I needed a little vacay so I came here to Los Angeles, which let me tell you is not the city of Angels and exactly what I was after. I bought a bar, had a wonderful time partying, annoying my angel brother who is trying to get me back to hell, which I have to say was half the fun. But then something unexpected happened… I got mixed up in a murder that I helped solve which brought me to became an official consultant of the LAPD. I have the ability to draw out people’s desires you see. No human is immune to my devilish charms. There is only one human… but I talked to my therapist— I know so LA— And she’s working through it with me… Oh, and I am very aware you all are Catholic here. But don’t worry, you’re my favorites of dear, old dad’s fan clubs... So, grab a drink. You’ll need one…

Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Near the end of spring, our co-founder of UrbanPyx, Avatar Rence, told us the story of how he and his friends entertainingly discussed the ending of the Hundred Year War. Avatar Rence and Earth King Ian transformed their discussion of a popular fandom into Truly Universal, a podcast where Catholics and nerds from all over the world could gather and listen together in peace and harmony. Avatar Rence accomplished many remarkable things in the previous Avatar episode, but sadly, his time hosting Avatar discussions came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of analyzing Avatar began anew.

Welcome to another year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now I'd like to say a few words before we all become too befuddled by excellent the excellent feast of delicious nerd talk. I have a few start-of-term notices I wish to announce. First years, please note the Dark Forest of Non-canon Fan Fiction over-sexualizing friendships is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Perdiguerra has asked me to remind you that the third-floor corridor of Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood haters on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. On a lighter note, please see Ethan Kho, the quidditch captain for Gryffindor, who is looking for a new seeker. Our current seeker is fighting "He Who Must Not be Named". Lastly, I am pleased to welcome a few new professors of herbology, muggle studies, and defense against the dark arts today. Hmm... I'll let them introduce themselves.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four podcast elements lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the pandemic attacked. Only Truly Universal, master of all four elements, could stop it, but when the world needed them the most, TU vanished.A whole year passed until Urban Pyx rediscovered Truly Universal, a new podcast started by Catholic nerds. And although their podcasting skills are great, they have a lot to learn before they gain enough listeners to be well known. But I believe Truly Universal can entertain the world."In the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, certain people have the incredible ability to manipulate these elements, sometimes for good, and some for evil. As the hundred-year war rages among the warmongering Fire Nation, Katara and Sokka find the Aang, the last air-bender, and the avatar foretold to defeat the fire nation and restore balance to the world. This is Truly Universal.
