Oh, hey, it's that lady who's both a stranger and also your internet dad.

Alley Ward, back with a light and a fluffy episode of Ologies.

Ooh, things are getting dark and stormy, or maybe puffy and beautiful and shaped like a

dinosaur because it's clouds and this is smologies and smologies are versions of our

classic episodes that we've edited down to be shorter and we've also

taken out any language that might be objectionable. So it's safe for kids and it's

safe for all ages. If you are looking for the full version of clouds and you got some more time and you're not around smalligites, then the full length version is linked in the show notes.

But if you're here for the smaller shorter episodes that are g-rated, enjoy.

Okay, this is a big one.

It has been looming overhead since the first time I encountered a list of

possibility.

This was over a decade ago,

and I remember seeing Nephology and thinking immediately like who does that? Who is one and it was on my mind like a puffy thought bubble over my head so much that if you listen to the ending theme music, you will hear

meteorology, technology, nephology.

So, of course, you know I'm pumped to get my head into the clouds for this. Okay,

Nephology is a study of clouds. Okay, this is very much a real word. It can mean a

scientist of clouds or just someone who likes to gaze up and look at the

clouds and would hug a cloud if they could, and it's like, clouds are tight.

Now, Neff comes from the Greek for cloud, straight up, but it is not to be

confused with the objects of nephrology which has an R in it. That means the

kidneys, your P organs, which we will explore another time I promise okay so this ologist this nephologist

I happened upon on Twitter and she was like hit me up for that cloud chat anytime. I was thrilled. I was nervous.
