Hello, friends,

Benders and non-benders alike.

Welcome to Braving the Elements, Nickelodeon's podcast about all things.

Avatarverse.

I'm Janet Varney.

And I'm Dante Bosco.

So last week, we recapped the King of Amash who would boomie himself.

And in this episode, we're going to be talking to someone who's responsible for many of the words that came out of my own mouth when I was

voicing Prince Zucco. Wow, Dante, that's, that seems kind of intimidating. I mean, just in terms

of all the things that, you know, Zuko did wrong and just, like, screwed up in his attempts

to capture the avatar. I mean, like, you were, I mean, like things, and all the great things, all the great things.

Well, yeah, but, you know, I'm focusing on, you know, the negative.

A lot of things that Zuko went through, that he put other people through, that this person that we're talking to might ultimately be, you know, responsible for.

So you're sort of the puppet and he's the evil puppeteer, I guess, in this scenario.

You sure you want to do this?

Do you want to talk to John or?

Let's do this.

Everybody, let's welcome our writer, John O'Brien.

Hi, everybody.

I'm sorry my camera is not working.

I do love the idea of you insisting on anonymity as if

writers, like that that's part of an oath they take.
