Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Episode 1.
Snorkel and Max Outer spaceadventures kite-flying on
Saturn's rings.
Max adjusted his astronauthelmet a colander with shiny
aluminum foil wrapped around itand glanced at Snorkel, who wore
a makeshift space suitfashioned from an old sweater
and tin cans.
They stood in their backyard,which had transformed, at least

(00:23):
in their minds, into a bustlingspace station.
The garden gnome doubled asmission control their treehouse,
a towering rocket ready tolaunch.
Max's hand tightly gripped thestring of their kite, a creation
of paper, tape and glitter thatshimmered in the sunlight.
But to Max and Snorkel itwasn't just a kite, it was a

(00:44):
stardust flyer designed to soaracross galaxies.
Snorkel, are you ready forliftoff?
Max asked his voice filled withexcitement.
Snorkel barked in response,wagging his tail
enthusiastically.
All right, then.
Countdown begins now.
Five, four, three, two, oneBlast off.

(01:06):
Max tugged the kite string andit leapt into the air, climbing
higher and higher against thebackdrop of a bright blue sky.
He could almost feel the hum ofrocket engines beneath his feet
.
As the world around themshifted, the backyard began to
fade, replaced by the glitteringexpanse of outer space.
Saturn with its golden ringsloomed ahead and stars twinkled

(01:32):
like tiny diamonds in theinfinite blackness.
We made it, snorkel, we're inthe Kite Galaxy.
Max exclaimed, adjusting thestring to guide the kite closer
to Saturn's majestic rings.
Snorkel barked again, his tailwagging so hard it seemed to
propel him forward.

(01:52):
His sweater space suit was alittle snug, but the excitement
of the adventure made him forgetall about it.
As they approached Saturn, therings stretched out before them
like a golden highway made ofice and rock.
The kite dipped and twirled,catching the stardust that
glimmered in the cosmic breeze.

(02:13):
Max marvelled at how thestardust seemed to power the
kite, making it glideeffortlessly through space.
Effortlessly through space.
Look, snorkel, it's working.
The stardust is giving us thelift we need.
Max said his eyes wide withwonder.
Snorkel let out a playful barkand jumped up, trying to catch

(02:35):
the shimmering stardust in hismouth.
But before they could celebratefor long, the peaceful hum of
space was interrupted by a loud,rumbling voice.
Who dares to play on my rings?
Max looked around startled.
The voice seemed to come fromeverywhere.
At once, snorkel froze, hisears perked up as a gust of wind

(02:59):
swirled around them, tugging atthe kite.
Who's there?
Max called out, trying to soundbrave.
From the swirling wind, a figurebegan to take shape.
It was a towering, being madeentirely of shifting air and
sparkling particles.
His face was stern, with bushyeyebrows made of storm clouds
and a long moustache thatswirled like a tiny tornado.

(03:22):
I am Zephyr, the keeper of therings.
The being announced, his voicebooming like thunder.
And these rings are no placefor silly kites.
Max tightened his grip on thekite string and stepped forward
unafraid.
We didn't mean any harm, mrZephyr.

(03:42):
We're just here to have fun andexplore the galaxy.
Fun.
Zephyr bellowed, his cloudyeyebrows knitting together.
Fun is not allowed here.
These rings are for seriouswind business, not for playing
around.
But the Stardust powers ourkite.

(04:03):
Max protested it's the perfectplace to fly it.
Zephyr's eyes narrowed.
The stardust belongs to thewind.
If you want to play here,you'll have to prove you're
worthy.
Let's see how well you canhandle the winds of Saturn.
Before Max could respond, apowerful gust swept through the

(04:24):
rings, sending the kitespiralling.
Max held tight to the string,digging his heels into the
ground, or at least what feltlike ground in this imaginary
space.
Snorkel barked wildly, leapingup to help steady the string
with his teeth.
You'll have to do better thanthat, zephyr taunted, sending

(04:45):
another gust their way.
This one was colder, sharperand faster.
The kite whipped, dangerously,threatening to snap free.
Hold on, snorkel.
Max shouted we can do this.
Max thought quickly.
He remembered the kite's designIts tail was long and weighted
with tiny ribbons.

(05:05):
He adjusted his grip on thestring and began manoeuvring the
kite against the wind, lettingit catch the stardust currents
to stabilise.
See Zephyr.
Max called out we're not justplaying, we're mastering the
wind.
Zephyr's expression softenedslightly, but he wasn't ready to

(05:26):
give up.
With a dramatic wave of hiscloudy arm, he summoned a
swirling vortex that twistedtoward the kite.
Hang on, snorkel.
Max yelled as they were pulledinto the whirlwind.
The kite twirled wildly, butMax leaned back, using all his
strength to keep it steady.
Snorkel, still gripping thestring in his teeth, dug his

(05:49):
paws into the ground.
The vortex spun them around andaround, but Max and Snorkel
worked together, guiding thekite out of the chaos and into a
calm patch of stardust.
That was incredible.
Max cheered, his heart racing.
Snorkel barked triumphantly,his tail wagging like a

(06:10):
propeller.
Zephyr watched in silence as Maxand Snorkel guided the kite
with precision and teamwork.
For the first time in centuries, a smile appeared on his stormy
face.
Well done, young explorers.
Zephyr said his voice no longerharsh.
You've proven that you respectthe wind and the stardust.
Perhaps there is room for funafter all?

(06:35):
Max beamed Does that mean wecan stay?
Zephyr nodded Not only can youstay, but I will show you a
secret few have ever seen.
Follow me".
Zephyr extended a gust of windthat gently lifted Max and
Snorkel into the air.
Together they soared toward thefar edge of Saturn's rings,

(06:55):
where the stardust sparkledbrighter than anywhere else.
This, Zephyr said, is theStardust Fountain.
Before them was a breathtakingsight a swirling geyser of
stardust shooting into thecosmos, creating shimmering
trails that stretched for miles.
The kite danced in the currents, glowing brighter than ever.

(07:18):
It's beautiful, max whispered.
It's magical, zephyr agreed,and it's yours to enjoy whenever
you return.
As the adventure came to an end,max and Snorkel thanked Zephyr
for his guidance and friendship.
They promised to always respectthe wind and the stardust.

(07:39):
With a final wave, zephyr sentthem on their way, guiding their
kite back through the galaxyand safely to their backyard.
When they landed, the treehouseand garden gnome reappeared and
the shimmering space faded away.
Max looked at Snorkel andsmiled.
Another successful mission,commander, snorkel, he said,

(08:02):
patting his loyal friend on thehead.
Snorkel barked in agreement,his tail wagging happily.
As the sun set, max and Snorkellay on the grass gazing up at
the stars.
The kite, now a little dustybut still glittering, rested
beside them.
Do you think Zephyr is watchingus?
Max, asked.

(08:22):
Snorkel let out a soft bark, asif to say Of course.
And with that Max and Snorkelclosed their eyes.
Dreaming of the next adventureawaiting them in their backyard
turned into an out-of-this-worldadventure.
Later that evening, in Max'sbackyard, the stars were out in

(08:43):
full force, twinkling brightlyabove him and Snorkel.
As they lay sprawled on thesoft grass, max's favourite
telescope, an old but trustypiece of equipment his
grandfather had given him, stoodready nearby.
Snorkel rested his head onMax's lap, his fluffy tail
occasionally wagging as hestared up at the night sky.

(09:05):
There it is, snorkel, max said,pointing toward the moon, the
biggest and brightest light inthe sky.
It's like a giant nightlightfor the whole world.
Snorkel barked softly inagreement, tilting his head
toward the glowing orb.
But as Max stared closer,something seemed off.

(09:26):
Wait a second.
Max squinted through thetelescope, adjusting the lens.
The moon looks a little dimtonight, doesn't it seem dim to
you, snorkel?
Snorkel sat up, wagging histail with curiosity.
Max adjusted the telescopeagain, his brow furrowing.
The moon, which normally glowedwith a silvery brilliance,

(09:50):
seemed dull and shadowed.
What's going on up there?
Max muttered, as if in answerto his question.
A faint beam of light shone fromthe moon, stretching across the
sky and landing right in frontof them.
The beam wavered and flickeredlike a dying flashlight.
Max and Snorkel scrambled totheir feet, both staring in awe

(10:12):
as the beam formed a face, aface, a sad, tired-looking face,
with drooping eyes and a faintsmile.
Max, snorkel, the moonbeamwhispered I need your help.
Max gasped You're alive, I am amoonbeam.

(10:34):
The figure replied, its voicesoft and melodic.
I light up the moon and bringits glow to the world, but my
spark is fading and if I lose itcompletely, the moon will go
dark.
Snorkel barked in alarm, histail wagging furiously.
Don't worry, moonbeam.
Max exclaimed, his heartpounding with excitement.

(10:56):
Snorkel and I will save you.
Just tell us what we need to do.
The Moonbeam smiled faintly.
To restore my spark, you mustjourney to the moon and find the
Lunar Spark Crystal.
It lies deep within the moon'sheart, hidden in the cavern of
shadows.
Only the bravest explorers canretrieve it.

(11:18):
Max grinned, his imaginationalready racing.
We're the bravest explorersyou'll ever meet, right, snorkel
?
Snorkel barked in agreement.
His ears perked up.
Then there's no time to lose,the moonbeam said, its glow
flickering again.
Then there's no time to lose.
The moonbeam said its glowflickering again.
But be careful the Cavern ofShadows is guarded by mysterious

(11:39):
forces.
Only those with pure hearts andstrong teamwork can succeed.
We've got this, max saidconfidently.
He grabbed his trusty spacesuit, made from a patched-up
raincoat, and his dad's old workgloves and pulled Snorkel's
matching sweater space suit fromtheir adventure chest.
Come on, commander Snorkel.

(12:01):
Max said adjusting his helmet.
Time to blast off.
With the moonbeam's guidance,max and Snorkel climbed into
their makeshift rocket, a largecardboard box covered in foil
and powered by their boundlessimagination, max flicked
switches, twisted knobs andcalled out all systems, go Woof.

(12:23):
Snorkel barked his tail,thumping against the rocket's
interior.
Five, four, three, two, one,lift off.
Max shouted.
In an instant, their backyarddisappeared, replaced by a
dazzling sea of stars.
The rockets soared higher andhigher, the earth shrinking

(12:44):
behind them as they raced towardthe glowing moon, stardust
swirled around them and Snorkelwagged his tail in delight as he
peered out the rocket's window.
We're almost there, snorkel.
Max said gripping the controls,hold on tight.
As they approached the moon, itssurface came into view vast and

(13:05):
cratered, with silvery hillsand valleys stretching as far as
the eye could see.
But the glow was faint andshadows loomed larger than usual
.
They landed softly in a smoothclearing the rocket's imaginary
thrusters.
Puffing out a final breath, maxand Snorkel stepped out their

(13:25):
boots, crunching against themoon's surface.
Wow, max whispered.
Looking around the moon is somuch cooler up close, max
whispered.
Looking around the moon is somuch cooler up close.
Snorkel sniffed the air, hisnose twitching as he picked up
unfamiliar scents.
His tail wagged cautiously andhe stuck close to Max's side.
We've got to find that lunarspark crystal, max said.

(13:48):
Let's start looking.
Following the moonbeam's faintglow, max and Snorkel journeyed
across the lunar landscape.
They climbed craggy hills,crossed wide craters and
marvelled at the strange glowingplants that sprouted from the
moon's surface.
Finally they reached a toweringcliff with a dark, yawning

(14:08):
opening at its base.
The moonbeam flickered weakly.
This is the cavern of shadows,it said.
The crystal lies deep within.
But beware, the shadows can betricky.
Max looked at Snorkel, who gavean encouraging bark.
We've got this, max said,taking a deep breath.

(14:31):
They entered the cavern, wherethe air felt cool and still the
walls shimmered faintly withtraces of stardust, but the
deeper they went, the darker itbecame.
Strange shadows danced acrossthe walls, twisting and
stretching as if they had livesof their own.
"'stay close, snorkel', maxwhispered.

(14:52):
The shadows began to whispertheir voices low and eerie.
Turn back.
They hissed you don't belonghere.
Max felt a shiver run down hisspine, but he stood tall.
We're here to help the moon.
You can't scare us.
The shadows swirled, forminginto a towering figure with

(15:13):
glowing eyes.
The shadows swirled, forminginto a towering figure with
glowing eyes.
"'you seek the lunar sparkcrystal', it said in a deep,
echoing voice.
"'prove your worth or you shallnot pass' the shadow figure
gestured and a maze of darktunnels appeared before them.
To reach the crystal, you mustnavigate the maze of shadows, it

(15:35):
said.
Only those with courage andcleverness will find the way.
Max gripped Snorkel's leashtightly.
We can do this, he said, hisvoice steady.
They entered the maze, the wallsshifting and changing with
every step.
Shadows darted across theirpath, trying to confuse and

(15:56):
distract them.
This way, snorkel Max said,using his flashlight to guide
the way.
Snorkel sniffed the ground, hiskeen nose leading them through
twists and turns.
At one point, a wall of shadowrose before them, blocking their
path.
Max hesitated, but Snorkelbarked and jumped through the

(16:17):
wall, revealing it to be anillusion.
Good job, snorkel.
Max cheered, following hisbrave companion.
After what felt like hours, theyreached the maze's centre.
There, on a pedestal of glowingrock, sat the lunar spark
crystal, a radiant gem thatpulsed with light.
Max carefully picked up thecrystal, its warmth filling his

(16:41):
hands.
The shadows around them beganto fade, replaced by a soft
silvery glow.
You did it, the moonbeam said,appearing beside them.
Now place the crystal in themoon's heartstone to restore its
glow.
Max and Snorkel followed themoonbeam to a high ridge,

(17:03):
overlooking the lunar surface.
There, nestled in the centre ofa glowing crater, was the
heartstone, a circular platformetched with ancient symbols.
Max placed the crystal in thecentre of a glowing crater.
Was the heart stone, a circularplatform etched with ancient
symbols.
Max placed the crystal in thecentre and a surge of light
erupted from it, spreadingacross the moon.
The dull, shadowy surfacetransformed into a brilliant,

(17:24):
glowing landscape and the starsseemed to shine brighter in
response.
You've saved the moon, themoonbeam said its voice full of
joy.
Snorkel barked, happily, wagginghis tail as he ran in circles
around Max as the moonbeam'sglow returned, max and Snorkel
climbed back into their rocket,waving goodbye to their new

(17:47):
friend.
Thank you, max and Snorkel.
The moonbeam said You'vebrought light back to the world.
With a final wave, they blastedoff the glowing moon shining
brightly behind them.
When they landed back in theirbackyard, max looked up at the
moon and smiled Missionaccomplished, commander Snorkel,

(18:09):
he said, patting his loyal dogon the head.
Snorkel barked in agreement,his tail wagging with pride.
As they lay on the grassstaring up at the now brilliant
moon, max whispered "'I wonderwhat our next adventure will be'
.
And with that they drifted offto sleep, dreaming of the

(18:31):
endless possibilities theuniverse had to offer.
Join Max and his loyal doodleSnorkel every week as they
transform their everyday worldinto extraordinary adventures
filled with wonder, laughter andheart.
From exploring outer space todiving into magical realms,

(18:51):
their imaginations know nobounds.
Don't miss a single moment ofthe fun.
