You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

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

bettysodes, the little bits of history that don't quite fit anywhere else, with me your host,

Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books.

So my voice still hasn't fully returned, obviously, and I'm not feeling great, but I'm hoping you find this voice very alluring and sexy. But yeah, it's just been a a bit of a it's been a bit of a week but look

here's a betty sword haven't had one of these in a while and it's festive yay it's it's it's one of

those things so i've been trying to um do a lot more work for the podcast,

and I have some plans for some really fun stuff in the new year.

And it's a lot of, I've taken a lot of notes.

And I want to be able to do stuff when my brain and voice are working

in tandem, you know, instead of just, I'm going to say coasting, coasting.

So I had some amazing brilliant reviews actually from some of you and I was heading like number 20 on like

the UK pastry Spotify chart which is amazing I mean it would be amazing to go higher if people

would just rate me on Spotify and then share me with all their friends and make them

listen to me I'm just I'm just giving you options.

And I had like two people reach out to me about like maybe helping me find an agent,

which would be really nice because I really think I need one because things are progressing

and I think I need an agent so that I can make money so that I can

pay an editor to make this just a better quality like podcast because it's it's tough when it's

just me recording in my pajamas curled up under the covers in my bedroom.

Listen, it's fucking Baltic here.

It's so cold.
