An erios original. Each week, we decide who's to blame for historical tragedy. And each week,

you tell us if we got it right. My name is Rebecca Delgado-Smith, and this is The Aftermath.

Hey, everyone, thanks for tuning into this episode of The Aftermath. We are doing a special mailbag episode where we respond to all of your pressing questions.

With us today, we have producer Amanda Lund.

Hello, everyone.

And fact checker, Chris Smith.

Hi there.

Now, Chris, Amanda, we've gotten some emails. I bet we have. Well, we've made some

controversial decisions. And that's what happens when you make a decision, you make the executive

decision. You've got to deal with the consequences. It's hard to be at the top. That's right.

You know, so, so, but I mean, we're here to answer

for what we've done. Yes. What I like about this show, though, is that, you know, people don't

start off with the latest episode. Some people are still, you know, dealing with the Irish potato

famine and letting that soak in.

It's a lot to take in.

All of those details, which we've already long forgotten about.

I don't know.

Some of those details stuck with me.

Yeah, the gooey, disgusting potato.

Yeah. Well, actually, the potato famine did predate me I wasn't

officially the fact checker at that time that's right that's right so I have an excuse and whatever

reckoning you guys have to deal with that's on you now did we put it we did not put a potato in jail
