0:00.0	So Anna, how are you feeling about when diplomacy fails remastered five weeks to run wild?
0:06.8	Well, I'm really excited about the project, but I think I'm more excited to finally have my husband back.
0:12.1	Yeah, that's fair enough. Okay, let's do this.
0:15.0	Okay. And we are live at last. Welcome history friends, patrons,
0:31.9	patrons all to when diplomacy fails, remastered, five weeks to run wild. This episode should serve as an introduction
0:40.8	to what this crazy project will look like, what it will entail and give you an idea as to why I
0:46.7	thought doing it at all was a good idea. If this sounds like something you're interested in,

1:46.1	Everything changed from my confidence to my speaking voice, to my tone, to the way I get people to support this podcast.
1:53.3	I've led you guys through some incredible stories and we've witnessed some unbelievable dramas play out right here in this very pod, while we've also taken
2:02.3	on some massive projects, such as the July Crisis Anniversary Project, where we gave you a day-by-day
2:08.1	analysis of the outbreak of the First World War in real time, or the 1916 mini-series where
