## Resource

It's KT's birthday episode!!! To celebrate our lauded athlete, she's decided to clap back at several male TikTokers who think they can just throw around the term "Super El Niño" with reckless abandon. Not so fast, dweebs, KT is on the case with the first part of her El Niño/La Niña series. Then, to further celebrate, Maddie brings us the story of the Pictish Beast who is just a funny lil guy!! Join us every other Wednesday(ish) for new episodes!
