Summary
Errol Flynn was a Hollywood heartthrob in the Golden Era, a swashbuckler who the ladies would swoon at the sight of, but beneath that dashing exterior was a man filled with demons and more narcotics you could shake a stick at. Accused of affairs, assaults and sympathising the enemy there is more to the man than swordplay and tights.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, delicious friends and welcome to Who Did What Now, the History Podcast that is not your |
| 0:19.8 | History class, with me, your host Katie Charlwood, |
| 0:23.8 | History Harlet and Reader of Books. My body is finally reducing to being back in the country. |
| 0:31.5 | Oh my goodness, jet lag is a bitch, let me tell you. Like, I thought it was a really smart idea. And here's the thing I wouldn't |

| 0:46.0 | Tuesday. So, like, fly across the Atlantic, lose a day effectively and then just go straight to work. |
| 0:53.3 | Like, my idea was that if I do this, |
| 0:56.5 | then I won't like force my body into some weird cycle |
| 1:01.5 | and I'll just make it like readjust. |
| 1:04.4 | Basically like turning it off and on again. |

| 1:29.0 | busy because a lot of the time I'm reading or I'm writing, I don't get a chance to like listen |
| 1:35.1 | to a lot of stuff and yeah, I realized that I used to have a disclaimer at the beginning of episodes |
| 1:43.7 | like way back because history as a disclaimer at the beginning of episodes, like way back, |
