Hello friends, benders and non-benders alike. Welcome to Braving the Elements Nickelodeon's

podcast about all things Avatarverse. I'm Janet Varney.

I'm Dante Bosco. Bosco, did you know that this is our one hundredth episode of Braving

the Elements? Wow. Hundred episodes. Time flies when you're recapping Avatar the last

skateboarder. We're like, great, man. Let's dig in. This is awesome. Now, just a little

bit of a meta foreshadow report since we're talking to Eric about all things Avatar.

I just wanted to warn everybody that we may encounter a few spoilers in the mix today

since we had a chance to talk with him and look beyond where we are in the series so far.

So if you are not fully caught up, this is a good time to press pause on the podcast
