173. The Wholympics!

Eric O'Keeffe / Starglow Media
About this episode

We’re taking a break from What If World’s regularly scheduled disaster to replay one of our favorite episodes in preparation for the Olympics! Mamma Jamma and Poppa Loo are announcing for the Wholympics, an undersea tournament of champions! We’re also checking in on some of our aquatic friends from episode 45.

Lessons include: traditions aren’t limitations; persistence is more impressive than perfection, and more achievable, too!


This episode originally aired on August 10th, 2020.
