You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Dead What Now, the History Podcast

that's not your history class, with me, your host, Katie Charlwood, history

harlot and reader of books.

Speaking of books, I'm going to be at the Red Line Book Festival in Tala, so the Civic Theatre in Tala, where I'm going to be debuting, reading between the lines, the dark sides

of the authors you love.

Now, being a history person, these are going to be dead people, of course, but...

Yeah, we all know how I feel about Charles Dickens.

He can go choke on a bag of Dickens, to be honest.

And of course, there are other authors throughout history who we may have a perception

of, especially regarding, you know, the way and manner which they write, but we don't know

that much about them. And I'm going to ruin everybody's day by telling you the truth about

them. And I'm really excited. So, like, it's a wee thing.

I thought, if I'm going to do a book festival, why don't I talk about authors?

It just seems fun.

It just seems right.

It just seems, like, a good thing to do.

And so that's what I'm going to be doing this Saturday, which is the 19th of October.

It's the 19th of October. It's the 19th. And then I think I might be doing something at the Dublin

Horror Club for the afternoon showing, not the evening showing, because I've got to get back home

because I've been done a goal and it's a bit of a trick, to be honest. But it is spooky month

and of course I promised you more dark and horrible history.

And this week is no exception.
