The Aqua Naturaliasts podcast dives into the stories and relationships of people and the fascinating aquatic environment. If you ever have any interest in the aquarium hobby, or just curious about the aquatic natural world, then this is the podcast for you! Not only will I interview some of the legendary figures in the hobby, we'll also have some deep conversations with experts and scientists all over the world, getting to know what the hobby and the aquatic environment is like in different countries and cultures. In this Episode, Casey and I talk about our hobby origin story, and the reason for the podcast to exist, and of course a ton of other fun stuff and nerd out.
