Hello, welcome to We Are History. I'm Angela Barnes.

0:06.5

And I'm John O'Farrell.

0:07.5

How you doing?

0:08.3

I'm all right. I made a little mistake this morning or yesterday.

0:11.8

I released our episode a day too early.

0:16.9

You arrived too early, John.

0:18.6

It's not the first time, Angela.

of those stories we've all heard about, right? But again, think that you know, but actually
