You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Music Hi everybody and welcome to Who Dead What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class,

with me, your angry feminist host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet and Reader of Books.

And lest we forget, I'm also your friendly neighbourhood social scientist,

as long as you don't give me a reason to not be friendly with you.

That's a very, what a very aggressive

way to start the show, Katie. Well, you know, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. So yeah,

first things first, I should probably say hi to a lot of the new followers who have, um, hi. Me and my hot sauce,

how's it going? Anyway, thank you for joining. Welcome to the Guild of Historical

Descent. For the Newbies, for the Newbies, I should probably say that when I get the opportunity

hence why it's a Guild of Historical Descent. I don't think I've even said that

in a long time. But, you know, the reason I started this podcast was so that I could talk about

stuff in history that I found interesting. And unfortunately, a lot of history is told through the

perspective of the pale and stale men, you know, and what we learn

is through their very limited scope and perspective. Not only that, but it's very Eurocentric.

And you'll find that a lot of history is shown and taught through the lens of European standards.

And it's very myopic and it's very classist and it's, and racist and Eurocentric.

And it's a whole bag of cats.

So when I get to dispel myths and provide a truer version of history, and I know, you can go,

but this is your perspective, and I was like, well, it is far too easy to go, oh, well, I don't like

how this is, so I'm just not going to believe it, which is actually part of the backfire
