Water... Earth... Fire... Air. Long ago, the two sisters lived together in harmony. But then, everything changed when the podcasting Nation attacked. Only the Hoot, master of all fine arts reviews, could stop them. But when the world needed them most, they vanished. A hundred years passed and my sister and I discovered the new podcast, a podcast named the Hoot. And although their podcasting skills are great, they still have a lot to learn before they're ready to save anyone. But I believe the Hoot can save the world.
