## Resource

We're constructing a narrative and drawing up our own pantheon on this week's episode of the Overly Sarcastic Podcast! Plus! We assign historical figures their modern-day vice, pander to libraries (as they deserve), and reveal our self care secrets. Our podcast, like our videos, sometimes touches on the violence, assaults, and murders your English required reading list loves (also we curse sometimes). Treat us like a TV-14 show.
