Hello, friends, vendors and non-vendors alike. Welcome to Braving the Elements, Nickelodeon's podcast about all things avatarverse, I'm Janet Varney, and my beloved co-host Dante Bosco is out on set.

And this, just in, we can officially announce that Dante and I will be back for Braving the Elements Season 2, we cannot wait for what is to come.

But, we both got so excited about releasing a very, very special episode. That's right, many of you have asked me about this on social media, the episode we recorded live at New York Comic Con.

We are finally releasing, it was so, so amazing to do that. It was very emotional. I was re-listening to the episode as we were getting it ready to put out and a couple of things occurred to me.

One, I feel like you hear the tears streaming down my face as we come out to this amazing, amazing group of folks, getting to see everybody in person was very emotional and very lovely.

And I think possibly because it was so emotional and because I was doing something we don't usually do on the podcast, which is read some scenes.

For some reason, I say Shirsu, instead of Shirsu, every time I read it on the page, but I say it right when I'm not reading it on the page.

It's one of those beautiful, natural mysteries that can only occur at New York Comic Con at just the right time, just the right time of year with just the right group of people.

So while your temptation might be to give me a hard time about it, and listen, if you're going to, you're going to and I love you for it.

Let's pretend like it's a beautiful miracle that happened. And we're all going to remember the time Janet said Shirsu like 18 times. So enjoy that.

We didn't want to pull it out and try to cover it up because deep Bradley Bakers doing all these wonderful things live. So there it is preserved perfectly forever.

And then you'll also hear very deep in this phenomenal episode, a moment in which a curtain started to rise.

You will hear a sort of reaction from the audience who hear a little ad lib from us on stage.

It was very goofy. And so if you wonder what that was, now you know, stay tuned for that and a great conversation we had with deep Bradley Baker, who of course is the genius behind so many of our avatar hybrid animals, regular animals.

You will also hear some of the questions that you are audience got to ask us live. And we just had so much fun. Can't wait to share this with those of you who couldn't be there. Let's get into it.

Let's go.

Water. Earth. Fire.

To avatar is in the house. Give it up for Prince Super!

This is crazy.

I'm so excited to be at New York City Comic Con.

This is so amazing. And I'm very emotional just being able to be back at a con with all of you. This is very cool.

Welcome back. Welcome back.
