| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. From Wondery, welcome to another episode of Tides of History. I'm Patrick Wyman. Thanks so much for being here today. Welcome to 2026, friends. This is probably not the first episode that you are listening to in |
| 0:23.2 | 26, but it is the first one that I am recording. It's been a long time since I've answered |
| 0:28.3 | any listener questions, and I really wanted to give folks a chance to get their thoughts |
| 0:31.8 | and queries out there. I got some really fantastic questions on social media, and I am |
| 0:35.9 | really stoked to answer them today. |

| 1:17.9 | And I think we've got some really good topics coming up. |
| 1:20.4 | So I am hopeful that people will continue to listen. |
| 1:22.4 | But just know that if you want more content for me, you can always find it on the past lives feed. |
| 1:28.3 | We have new scripted episodes coming out every week. Right now, we're covering slavery and the |
| 1:33.5 | experiences of enslaved people throughout history. It's pretty good stuff. There are free episodes |
