This was back in the summer.

So what did I do?

I didn't say anything.

Kept it to myself.

It's better this way, I thought.

But then I remembered a date I went on many years ago with a girl who told me that she turned her birthday every year into a seven-day marathon.

She called it, wait for it, Princess Week.

Picture me in the darkened bar making sense of that revelation.

Good Lord.

Good Lord.

But if someone wants Princess Week, shouldn't we just give them Princess Week?

So all of you insufferably sentimental people out there in listener land, this is for you.

A little Revisionist History 10th Anniversary Celebration.

To get started, I did a little homework.

Sent out a tweet, asked listeners for feedback, scoured some Reddit threads, talked with people who'd been involved in the show over the years, trying to generate a highlight reel for the big birthday party.

What was her favorite moment, memory?

First thing I got back was from my colleague Ben-Nadaf Hafri, who talked to my old producer Eloise Linton about a reporting trip we took back in 2021 for the episode, The Dog Will See You Now.

Let me just butt in here and say that no one loves doing Alabama stories more than me.

Back in season two, we did The Foot Soldier of Birmingham.

Season 8, we did an episode called Footnote, remember?
