audio podcast, has a mission of getting kids outside, but it doesn&#8217;t stop there. \u00a0 Host Kenny Ballentine, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturekidsinstitute.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nature Kids Institute<\/a>, says, the podcast is &#8220;completely dedicated to reconnecting children families and the entire human species with the wonders of nature.&#8221; That dovetails nicely with our mission of getting everyone outside. \u00a0Ballentine\u00a0just started the podcast&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0second season with an episode featuring Richard Louv talking about topics associated with Nature Deficit Disorder.<\/p>\n<h1>Interview with Richard Louv<\/h1>\n<p>Louv is, as we have mentioned before, the author of several great books including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li
