I want to give a big congratulatory shout-out to @Zak King for being the first TCU member to hit level 5 thanks to their activity in the group. A true achievement. Thank you so much Zak, for being here and being such an active contributor. Zak has earned and unlocked his level 5 bonus and gotten a shout-out in one of my podcasts! You can hear his shout-out airing in the Smash Writer's Block Podcast - Episode 10, airing on Spotify January 28th 2026. Don't want to wait that long?
