Funny, smart, and always a few details that are completely new to me.
Katie Charlwood is engaging, and covers interesting pieces of history, with many little “asides” during the episodes, making listening feel like you’re having a great conversation with a friend or coworker.
I never liked podcasts but Who Did What Now came up on my algorithm on my Facebook reels. I loved her facts and entertaining delivery so I checked out a podcast…. And now I’ve been listening to every episode I can find and it has been my hyper fixation for the past few days. I tried listening to other podcasts in between to see if I’m just a podcast person now. But nope I am just a Katie Charlwood person!!
I recently found you via Tik Tok. I have started from the beginning and listen to several episodes per day. This pod cast scratches something in my brain that I cannot get enough of. Thank you for this!!!!
I love how conversational it is while having clear and strong information and sources. Also love the accent, if I’m being honest 😜
Definitely recommend.
