Yes, yes, we know about Balto, but this story is so much wilder than the cartoon entails, I assure you. Also... Justice for Togo!!!

0:11.0 | Music Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Did What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class, with me, your host, Katie Charlwood, history harlot andader of Books. If you are listening to this on |
0:40.2 | day of release, you might be thinking, hey, this is late. And it is. You are correct. You see, |
0:47.9 | what happened was, I had another episode up. It was ready to go, it was on a schedule. |
0:55.6 | And it involved a double agent, it involved like scenic journeys and natural disasters |
1:03.5 | and espionage and a strange connection to the IRA. |
1:09.4 | Like it had all this stuff and it also, in the centre of it, |
1:15.5 | had a mass bombing of civilians. |
1:20.1 | And it felt to me personally that given the current situation in Gaza, |
1:27.4 | with the strikes on the refugee camp, the UN refugee |
1:31.2 | camp in Rafa yesterday that it seemed exploitative, it was just not the right time. |

2:15.3 | had ready to go. I had notes put together. So hopefully I have enough |
