Hello, delicious friends and welcome to Who Did What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class, with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and reader of books. And yes, a bonus episode. What, look, I did one.

I have been planning to talk about the gunpowder plot for actual years. Like, I have a list of topics

and events in people that, you know, I'm desperate to talk about, but I feel like need the right moment.

And I finally forced myself to write this because I haven't been sleeping well recently,

and I was like, I need to do something.

And this is what I did.

And so, it's a bonus episode, it's November. It is the 5th of

November on day of release, and I think it's time for me to quit my jabber jabber in fact you.

In fact you, I will, but first, we've got to get our source on.

Our sources are The Book of Days by Robert Chambers.

The 5th of November, Guy Fawkes by Harry Hems.

Faith and Treason, the story of the gunpowder plot by Antonia Fraser.

Guy Fox and the Gunpowder plot by historic royal palaces.

Queen James by Gareth Russell.

Strategy and motivation in the gunpowder plot by Mark Nichols.

Gunpowder, Treason and Scots by Jenny Wormwald.

And of course, we have our old friends, history.com and biography.com.

Are you sitting comfortably?

Good.

Then let's begin.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November.

The gunpowder treason and plot.
