Hey, Twisted History listeners, you can find us every Wednesday night on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Hey, everybody. Welcome on back. It's the Twisted History podcast. You may notice we're in the new

studio that we have. We're pumping out Twisted History. You've got to try this. Rubbin is racing

all from this new digs. And before we get started, I just wanted to remind you that this show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Shorter days don't have to be so dismal.

It's time to reach out and check in with those you care about and to remind ourselves that we're not alone.

As seasons change and days grow darker sooner, it can be a tough time for many.

This November, BetterHelp is encouraging everyone to reach out,

check in on friends, reconnect with loved ones, and remind the people in your life that you're always there.

Just as it can take a little courage to send that message or grab coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while,

reaching out for therapy can feel difficult too, but it's worth it. Better help does the initial matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals. A short questionnaire helps identify your needs and preferences. And our 12 plus years of experience and industry leading match fulfillment rate means we typically get it right the first time. If you aren't happy with your match, switch to a different therapist

at any time from our tailored wrecks. This month, don't wait to reach out. Whether you're checking

in on a friend or reaching out to a therapist yourself, BetterHelp makes it easier to take

that first step. And our listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash twisted.

That's better help, help.com slash twisted.

Thank you for your continued support.

BetterHelp.

We're actually going to go upstairs to the most classy podcast studio we can find

just to fit our guest this week,

who's Ken Burns,

legendary historian, documentarian. So we're extremely excited about this whole thing.
