    #44 Weather (Part 2)

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


    This week we’re talking about unique weather events through history. From the great freeze of 1899 that plunged Miami to sub-zero temperatures, the great storm (in the UK) of 1987 (and how badly Michael Fish got it all BANG WRONG) and of course, the LONG-HOT-SUMMER-OF-NINETEEN-SEVENTY-SIX (which Elis’ parents WILL NOT STOP GOING ON ABOUT).


    Plus there’s even more Jeremy Bentham bantz. And if you want to get in touch with the show, you know what to do: [email protected]


    And YES! You may have spotted a new numbering system. Well, we haven’t gone straight from episode #39 to episode #44 by accident (!), we have in fact retroactively applied episode numbers to old subscriber specials:

    #40 Heroes (OWAT: Full Timer Edition)

    #41 Gifts (OWAT: Full Timer Edition)

    #42 Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll (OWAT: Full Timer Edition)

    #43 Protests (OWAT: Full Timer Edition)


    When informed of this, Tom Craine said he felt “absolutely no emotion whatsoever” - but nonetheless, there’s the explanation for those who need it.


    If you're impatient and want both parts in one lovely go next time plus a whole lot more(!), why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?

    In exchange for your £4.99 per month to support the show, you'll get:

    - two bonus episodes every month!

    - ad-free listening

    - episodes a week ahead of everyone else

    - And first dibs on any live show tickets

    #39 Survival (Part 2)

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


    In this episode we’ll be taking a look at incredible stories of survival through history; from the men of the American Civil War who had their lives saved via a Bible in their pocket, Alexander Selkirk - the man whose story inspired Robinson Crusoe, Violet Jessop - who survived three infamous ships of the White Star Line and the bonus bit for the OWAT: Full Timers this week is ‘the miracle of the Andes’ ie. the story of the Uruguayan rugby team who survived a plane crash in the Andes and were forced into cannibalism to overcome starvation (among many, many other hardships).


    Elsewhere, this week we’re discussing ‘Custardo’ and whether this is a realistic alternative for Tom given his love of drinking neat custard. We also discuss whether it’s appropriate to bring the embalmed bones of Jeremy Bentham on tour with us. If you’ve got anything to add on anything here, you know what to do: [email protected]

    #38 Corpses (Part 2)

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


    This week we’re looking at some of the all-time great corpses. We’ll be taking a look at the Tollund Man, a whole bunch of corpses still on display around the world, what the Roman’s did with corpses; plus our bonus bit for the OWAT: Full Timers this week is the yarn of what happened to William The Conquerer’s mortal remains.


    Plus, Corrections Corner is back and it’s Tom on the naughty step. We also get to hear what Welsh sounds like in a Manchester accent. If you’ve got anything to send our way, feel free to ping it to: [email protected]

    #37 Prime Ministers (Part 2)

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


    This week on the show we’re taking a trip to 10 Downing Street to analyse Prime Ministers from yonder. We’ll be taking a look at Lloyd George, Margaret Thatcher, Ramsey MacDonald and the full timers will this week get their bonus 4th part on Robert Walpole (who was not, I repeat NOT, the world’s tallest man).


    On that note, is it possible to look 22 years old when you’re nearly 9ft? And Elis’ mum would regularly walk two miles to school when she was 4 years old; do you know anyone who can beat that record? To touch on this or anything else, you can get in touch with the show via [email protected]
