This month for our Lil Sips episode we were inspired by the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics as well as our Book Club book for February: The Hunger Games. We cover stories from sports including hockey, skeleton, and baseball while also discussing other forms of recreation.
If you’re interested in more Olympics history, please listen to our Episode 6: Olympics Mini History.
