"It's a PRANK!"
Apparently, these words are so powerful that grant anyone who says them is granted absolution, or even immunity, from any perceived wrongdoings. (Or at least that what we've learned from the Internet! LOL)

1) It's WHYI's Birthday 🥳 (we've officially made year of this production)
2) Clara is BACK!😃
Today, we're discussing prank culture and all its irreverent glory. We're entering a stage where we, as a society, need to take a hard look at ourselves and consider is some of this stuff worth our laughs and attention.
In this episode, we cover:

- the psychology if the prankers and the potential danger they put themselves in
- the various ways pranks can affect the "prankees"
- the effects that prank culture have on society as a whole
