You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

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

with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books. And first things, first, I want to apologise if I sound funny.

I am quite unwell and I've got a chest infection and a bunch of other stuff wrong on me,

like just so much.

I'm just a broken human, but you know that.

So I'm late in getting this out to you but it's spooky season and I

have to and I can't I can't let you down with this and so here I am desperately trying to do this

and hoping the pain killers will kick in soon drugs give me. Give me all the drugs. There is so much spooky

stuff I want to cover this month. We've got vampires and cannibals and witches and other things

historically that I can actually explain to you. But they're coming and they're going to be here

and I'm very excited to talk to you

about it but um i also want to thank everybody who has been still giving me wonderful five-star

reviews you're just you're just amazing and it's it's really being cheerful when i'm like

hold up in bed feeling like crap, and posting pre-recorded

videos because I just, I don't have the energy to film right now. And I'm just like, just getting

these really nice comments. It's just, it's very nice when you're like stuck feeling measurable

like this.

Also, sorry, I can feel like chest wheezing.

Also, the Irish podcast awards are on in November.

The day after my birthday, by the way.

So I'm just saying it'd be a really nice birthday present if I were to win the listener's choice.
