0:00.0	Hello, friends.
0:20.7	Welcome to Braving the Elements, Nickelodeon's podcast about all things
0:25.0	Avatarverse. I'm Janet Varney and I got to break the news that our dear Dante Bosco is still
0:32.7	working on location and he could not be here today, but have no fear he will be back, my friends.
