0:14.0	And this is the History of the World Podcast Unscripted. The Welcome. Welcome everybody to another unscripted episode of the History of the World
0:49.4	podcast. These unscripted episodes are not official episodes. In fact we are between volumes now and
0:57.8	volume 3 has finished and we're awaiting the start of volume 4 which will be a little bit later in the year
1:06.0	and in the meantime what we're doing we're doing some unscripted episodes
