Hello, delicious friends and welcome to Who Dead What Now, the History Podcast that is not your history, with me, your host, Katie Charlwood,

0:22.8

History Harlet and Reader of Books.

0:26.5

You know, I'm really trying to be positive about everything, anything, but my God,

0:33.9

the world is on fire, and it seems like some people are intent on just not only lighting the match,

0:41.9

but dousing the place in accelerant, you know, it just seems to be happening more and more.

0:49.2
