Music Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who at Wartnow, the History Podcast, that's not your history class.

With me, your host, Katie Chorillwood, History Harlet, and Reader of Books.

I hope you had a fantastic weekend.

Clearly I did, as you can tell from my lack of voice.

Yeah, I was in Belfast for La Felaideck of Padraig at the St. Patrick's Festival.

I was here in my cousins.

Many of him, many of him, two of him,

I hadn't seen in, like, solid decade, like a full 10 years.

See, a few years ago, we actually made the decision that we were no longer only going to see

each other at funerals, because that seems to be our main family social gathering.

And, you know, in general,

your social life shouldn't revolve around funerals unless you're just, you know, that level of goth and bereavements, wakes and other such grieving opportunities are, you know, just your, you know,

fun times. Love your best life. So yeah, we decided we were no

longer going to do that. And so we were actively trying to like meet up and do things. So we went to

Galway for our cousin's 40th and then we went to Belfast for Paddy's Day. And, you know, we're just

starting to go about and actually do

things. It was really funny because my mom was asking me like you know where many people were

like asking to take photos with you and stuff in Belfast and I was like no I didn't get recognized

once. Nobody knew who I was um which is fun. Because, like, again, I always get recognized

in really weird places and people come over to me and talk to me, but like, yeah, not one

person recognized me at all the entire time, which is quite nice, but also wee bit annoying.
