You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hi everybody and welcome or welcome back to Who Dead Want Now, the Hestry Podcast. It's not your history class. With me, your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books.

Before I get into anything else, that was very enthusiastic, but yes, before I get into anything else,

I want to thank everybody who's been rating and reviewing five stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts

and y'all, y'all are just so amazing. Really, you're just fantastic. You know, when you

wait in review, when you

actually write something in the review, it doesn't really matter what it was. You can tell me

your favourite period in history. You can compliment my accent, which happens quite a lot and

is making me feel very good about it after being mocked incessantly for most of my life. But thank

you. You're making it worth it now. When you write a review,

it really bumps it up like the iTunes, iTunes, Apple Podcasts algorithm. It really moves you up there

and it really helps me on a business end because I'm actually starting to get noticed by like,

how do I put this,

by networks and sponsors and other things.

There may be a few things happening and it's very, very exciting.

Also, if you are listening to this on Tuesday, on day of release,

then you get to hear more of me from Thursday.

So I am actually the guest historian on Louisa O'Malan's radio show,

Gaslit, Groomed and Ghosted.

So on Thursday, the 19th of May, you can hear me on Radio 4 at 11pm GMD. GMD so you can listen to it live which would be very exciting

you can you can tweet and say nice things about me which would be even better tell the BBC I'm

awesome more Katie more Katie on the BBC I'm awesome.
