This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

This week on the show we’re discussing regents who were, let’s say, a bit different. We’ll be meeting the 11th century Norwegian King Magnus Barefoot, we’ve got the avid collector that was George III and let’s find out how terrible Russia’s Ivan the Terrible actually is.

And this week we’re bemoaning expiry dates and the roulette of consuming slightly off food. Elis is happy to consume nuts that are 8 years out of date, but as Tom points out.. “you never see a squirrel with a Tommy ache”. If you’ve got anything on this or anything else: hello@ohwhatatime.com

If you fancy a bunch of OWAT content you’ve never heard before, why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?

Up for grabs is:

- two bonus episodes every month!

- ad-free listening

- episodes a week ahead of everyone else

- And much more

Who doesn’t love a good tree? This week we’ll discuss the awesome spectacle of the American sequoia, the slightly less massive Bonsai tree and the use of trees in political imagery.

Elsewhere, the debate is raging: what’s the most ‘off’ thing you’ve ever eaten? And what is the most universal sign of danger? If you’ve got anything on these topics or anything else, do get in touch with the show: hello@ohwhatatime.com

Finally, AN EPISODE ON ARTIFICIAL WATERWAYS. Come with us as we dig our way through the jungle to form the Panama Canal, we traipse back to Glastonbury to check out their canal, and we’re off to ancient China to take a look at the world’s oldest canal.

And this week we hear all about Alex Brooker’s hot tub boat tour of New York. Plus, more on Donald Trump once doing the Rumbelows League Cup draw. And Margaret Thatcher’s failed stand-up career. So once again, if you’ve got anything to add to the conversation, do drop us an electronic mail: hello@ohwhatatime.com

We’ve touched on conspiracies on the show, but this week we have for 100% true conspiracies that really did happen - it’s Cover Ups! We’ll have the Ozyorsk Disaster hidden away by the Soviets, what the US Government really knew about bootlegging during prohibition and how Margaret Thatcher prepared to battle the striking minders of the 1980s.

And boy are we glad we’re in the elastic age with pants securely tightened in-place. And do you work in a place that sells a historic food or drink? You can get in touch via the medium of the future, whenever you want: hello@ohwhatatime.com
