| 0:00.0 | Hello world, wake me up to another good, good morning time to go. |
| 0:07.6 | Are you ready to explore God's wild and wonderful world? |
| 0:12.7 | Welcome to the Nat Theo podcast. |
| 0:15.3 | I'm your host, Aaron Linum. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm a certified master naturalist, Bible teacher, and author, and I am so excited to dive into God's written word, the Bible, and his created world with you. |
| 0:41.5 | Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on TV? |
| 0:47.0 | I imagine being on TV would be a lot of hard work. |

| 1:50.1 | Let's meet Peter. |
| 2:09.7 | Thank you. Peter, we are very excited to have you on today. |
| 2:14.0 | My kids and I have loved following your adventures on hike and seek. |
| 2:20.2 | And meeting the incredible creatures that you teach about, you introduce viewers to creatures like sandhill cranes, millipedes, wolves, a corn snake, which I actually had a pet corn snake |
| 2:26.8 | growing up. So that was, yeah, that was really interesting to me. And then my kid's favorite |
| 2:31.6 | episode was the hellbender Salamanders. |
