| 0:06.0 | Welcome. |
| 0:07.0 | This is the show where we bring science. |
| 0:09.0 | What that essentially means is discovery is |
| 0:11.0 | advances, research, technology, unbelievable. |
| 0:14.7 | Without further ado, this is the naked scientist. |
| 0:17.8 | Hello, welcome to the show where we bring you the latest breakthroughs in science, technology and |
