0:00.0	In what kind of mood do people recite verse 35 of John chapter 11, perhaps unwittingly?
0:07.4	The answer to that at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is lateral.
0:15.6	Before we begin, a little fact for you. Did you know that a lateral speech sound is when you push your tongue to the roof of your mouth?
0:24.7	Funnily enough, just like the l of lateral. So if a lateral hadn't been invented, this show would actually be called Atara.
0:33.5	But then, then I guess the whole word wouldn't exist, and actually the entire history of the world and biology would have been very different. And, you know, I really haven't thought this through. So hoping to have an L of a time today. First of all, we have fashion and cultural historian, author, and from her own YouTube channel, Abby Cox. Welcome to the show. Hello, thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here. We just missed each other at VidCon in
0:56.9	LA this year, apparently. And it's wonderful to see someone from such a completely different niche
1:04.2	and genre from everything I work in. Like, you still find out interesting facts and history and

1:33.7	It's fine to include dead people because that makes sense.
1:37.9	And yeah, so I've been reading a lot about like corpse medicine and early medieval stuff.
1:43.7	And I may or may not have a Henry the 8th costume in my back room for later.
1:50.1	I almost wore it for this, but I was like, that might be coming on a bit too strong.
1:53.8	That might be a little, for a first appearance, it's a strong, for a first appearance on
1:57.9	an audio first podcast, that is a strong opening move.
2:01.0	Yeah.
2:01.6	Very best of luck on the show today.
2:03.4	You are joined by comedian, broadcaster and writer of children's historical fiction.
2:08.7	Izzy Lawrence, welcome to the show.
2:10.3	Hello, lovely to be here.
