Bonus - Oops! All Interesting Facts (Will Just Got Over Covid)

Will finally tested negative for Covid, but we couldn't record our normal podcast for you in time to get it to you on schedule so here's an 'oops, all interesting facts!' episode to tide you over for now.

Interesting Fact Links:

Phoenix' fact: Antarctica and Space Rocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NUUNo43b3A

Will's fact: Longest Living Things On Earth https://www.interestingfacts.com/longest-lived-species/ZFBg6jgK3gAHvM6w?

Bonus Pod of Recommendations Because Will Caught Covid

The title says it all. Will caught Covid on a work outing a few days before we were going to record our next episode and lost his voice. He's mostly fine, just a bit fatigued and needs more tlc. He's been through a course of anti-virals, and come out the other side with his tastebuds intact.

So far I (Phoenix) haven't caught it, and Sokka is also fine.

Anyway, here's a short 'bonus' pod of recommended things because it was all we had the energy to do.
