The introduction, goals and reasons for starting the podcast. An introductory episode from Brendon Anthony. 

Welcome to Environmentality. A podcast for environmental news, brief lectures and interviews with the experts! 

In this introductory episode, Brendon walks us through his love for the environment, how it began and why he wanted to start this podcast: to bring environmental education from the classroom to the masses, in order to foster a better appreciation and stewardship for our beautiful planet. 

Brendon then lays out the perceived format of the show, in three different styles of episodes:

1. Environmental News (5 min) - current and relevant environmental news surrounding your daily life, issues to be aware of, politics and stories of success and encouragement from around the world.
2. Brief Lectures (15 - 30 min) - popular topics in environmental science will be discussed in an Intro to Environmental Science 101 styled-format. Top and relevant issues boiled down to what the problem is, why its relevant and how your daily actions impact it, whether positively or negatively.
3. Interviews with the Experts (30 - 60 min) - guests who are working on and researching in environmental science fields and endeavors will be brought on to discuss their work, the problem they are trying to mitigate, the successes/obstacles they are seeing and how you can help in your day-to-day.
