In this first episode, host and geologist Nick Zentner is a solo act. He settles into his backyard chair on a sunny morning in Ellensburg, Washington, and lays out the backstory and vision for Nick on the Rocks Talks. 

Nick is known for the Cascade PBS video series [***Nick on the Rocks***](https://www.cascadepbs.org/show/nick-rocks/) and hundreds of lectures and adventures on his YouTube channel. This podcast will be a little different. Nick takes a sip of water (on the rocks, of course) and explains his hopes and dreams for the new project.
