Hello, delicious friends and welcome to the second part of a two-part special on Who Did What Now, the History Podcast, that's not your history class, with me, your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot, and reader of books.

And you may be thinking, Katie, wow, would you mean it's the second part of a two-part special?

This is your regular posting day. It is, it is. Um, but here's the thing. Um, this is the second

part of John Brown. The American hero, the very first man,

to be convicted and executed of treason in the United States of America.

And the reason that this episode is being released today

and not Thursday or Friday, like I initially had intended,

is because I was covering American history for this month and I was

planning to discuss the great molasses flood but with recent events in Texas with

the flash flooding and the loss of life, it didn't feel appropriate. Like,

um, morally iffy was kind of how it, best way I can describe it, because there's nothing wrong,

technically about me putting out the content that I plan to put out. But it's like when I was doing the Beverly Hell spy,

that was supposed to come out earlier than I did.

But I pulled it right before.

Except that one was recorded.

And I pulled it because it talks about, like, Hiroshima and Nagasaki

and like these mass sort of bombings of civilians

and literally the night before

there was mass bombings of civilians in Palestine

and so I pulled the episode because it's like no

like no no it's like, no. Like, no, no.

Like, it's just not right.
