0:00.0	You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
0:11.0	Music Hi everybody and welcome to Who Dad What Now, the History Podcast.
0:29.2	That's Not Your History Class.
0:31.2	With me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot, and Reader of Books.
0:37.0	Now, before we get into anything else in this podcast,
0:40.1	we have to start with the disclaimer. I have been known to use language, which some have called
0:47.4	colourful, some have called abhorrent, but it is what it is. And I have been known on occasion to make a sailor blush so if you don't like
0:57.9	the use of expletives at all this is a gentle nudge to the door don't let it slap your butt on the way
1:05.9	out okay okay good so hi everybody welcome back or if you're new here, welcome for the first time. Hey, I want to thank everybody who has been giving ratings and reviews. They get them Apple Podcasts, Spotify, everywhere. Fantastic. I love you. I do. It actually, I've not been feeling great this past week. As it turns out,
1:29.3	I stressed myself so much that I triggered my menstrual cycle, even though I'm on contraceptives,
1:37.6	hormonal contraceptives. And it has exacerbated and amplified ADHD symptoms, and I am struggling.
1:48.4	So it's been a bad, bad week for me.
1:51.6	And again, you're going to love this, right?

2:03.5	about Winston Churchill, after I blocked him on Instagram, went over to our podcasts, gives me a
2:11.2	one-star review complaining about my Instagram and saying that I'm playing a character because apparently being a
2:19.4	historian and having coloured hair and being correct just doesn't work in his tiny little lizard brain.
2:28.8	Yeah. So if you haven't already rated and reviewed five stars, it would be so sweet and lovely if you
2:36.6	would do that. If you've heard of cracking, that was my rest. Oh, I don't know why it did that.
2:42.7	But yeah, I read the reviews and I get some really amazing ones, honestly. I was in the top, like,
2:49.3	30 in the spot of our charts this week. Like, what is that? Wow. And I was in the top, like, 30 in the Spotify charts this week. Like, what is that? Wow.
2:54.1	And I was in, I was in the top 50 for Apple Podcasts. This was really fun. I was not in the right place
