From Providence, Rhode Island, welcome to Outlandercast. It's a podcast dedicated to the show Outlander on stars.

Hello, everybody, and welcome back. My name is Mary Larson. My name is Blake, and I have been looking forward to this chapter.

This is one of the chapters that when we got this book, I was thumbing through it initially, and I saw the title and I said, yep, I'm ready. I'm ready for this one.

I think it comes at a right proper time, if you will.

A right proper time. I've been watching too much Harry Potter. That's a thing.

Hey, welcome. Welcome to life, man.

Way too much Harry Potter. It's time to adopt all the vernacular.

Why is it a right proper time for us to be coming to Colaudin?

Well, I mean, we're getting towards the end of the book, and we got a lot going on, I think, as a company here, and between men and kills, and in clan lands, and this is us, and all the other shows, and everything that we're doing, it's kind of like clan lands.

While I love it, and it's been a really fun, deep dive, we just haven't had as much time as of late, as we've wanted to, because we've been so focused on men and kills and getting everything ready, because it's so time-appropriate that we do those things at that given time.

So when you get back to it, and you start reading the chapter again, you see that it's Colaud, and you said, okay, yeah, I get it now.

I can do it. This is what we're doing here, and I think we can do it anyway. We love it anyway, but...

Yeah, right, right. But the fact of the matter is, it's been maybe a few weeks since we did the last chapter, and it's just a breath of fresh air to get back in there and see the kind of chapter that this is, and knowing the history of it, and having such a personal connection to it, obviously,

because of Outland, you get motivated to read it, and this is a chapter I think that does not disappoint, at least in my estimation, or at least from my perspective, it doesn't disappoint.

But that's because I'm a history dork.

Yes, you are.

And I cannot wait to get your thoughts on this chapter, because this was pretty history heavy.

And, you know, I could see how someone may get a popsicle headache reading this stuff.

Okay, so before we get into this, before we get all into this chapter, we do want to remind you that everything you hear is thanks to our friends at JoinTheNerdClan.com.
