## Resource

Happy 2025 everybody. Brandon and the Old Naturalist are kicking off the new year with a tail from Africa. As a reminder, we'll be doing video podcasts this year so the best way to follow us will be on Spotify. Our Apple Podcast listeners will still be able to listen in, but you won't be able to see us...which is probably not all bad.
