Space: the final frontier and indeed, the subject of this week’s episode. We’ll have early astronomy, we’ll take a trip to the moon and we’ll ask the fundamental question: are we alone in the universe and has anyone from another civilisation visited us on earth? (Outside of that one particular episode of Beadle’s About in the 80s).

Elsewhere, we’ll be discussing the loneliest human in history and why leech-based healthcare was so big for so long. If you’ve got anything else to contribute, here’s where you need to send it: [email protected]

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

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

Oh What A Time! is back for 2025 and this week we’ve got an episode we’ve been promising (and threatening) for a while: milk! Whatever happened to milk bars? What’s the history behind milk alternatives? Plus, we’ve also got lots on the humble milk float.

And all this chat of milk bars got us thinking: has there been a greater loss to the high street than Wimpy? (And after a quick google, a new question: who even knew Wimpy is thriving?!). If you’ve got anything to add, you can email: [email protected].

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

Pull down the decorations and throw the tree in the street; because this week we’re discussing a few of the attempts through history to cancel Christmas. You can expect an appearance from Oliver Cromwell, Maximilien Robespierre will pop up too, as will all the critics of Elvis Presley’s 1957 Christmas album.

And this week we’ve got several great emails on the subject of “who are you playing a song to from history and what song are you picking and what do you want out of it?” (Snappier title for this feature very urgent). If you’d like to chip in you can email: [email protected]).

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

This week we’re tackling a subject Elis has suggested, the writing of history itself: historiography! We’ll be chatting about one of the godfathers of history Herodotus, the owner of one of history’s all-time great beards Karl Marx and we’ll be discussing (and mainly trying to understand) postmodernism.  

Elsewhere, Tom keeps losing his keys and claims there’s nothing he can do about it, Elis is convinced there was once a thing called the ‘Never Never Club’ in South Wales and why exactly are keys still such a big thing anyway? If you’ve got anything to add on any of these subjects, please email us at: [email protected]
