#58 Bad Ideas (Part 2)
This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday!
On the show this week we’re discussing some of the most absolutely disastrous ideas that history has to offer; we’ve got airships, the infamous Sinclair C5 and various attempts at creating ’smell-o-vision’ (which sometimes involved a ‘smell-brain’).
Plus, we’re still struggling to get over the concept of trifle, especially with the possible inclusion of veal. If you’ve got any more of trifle, savoury trifle or anything on the worst excesses of Victorian cuisine, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com
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!

#57 Health & Safety (Part 2)
This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday!
On the show this week we’re going mad for health and safety. We’ll be discussing what health and safety looked like in Ancient Rome, the various procedures in place in medieval monasteries and also, we’ll be talking about Peter Duncan cleaning the clockface of Big Ben in 1980 armed with only a mop, a plank and a rope.
Lots to discuss elsewhere this week too: does buying a single toilet seat mean you’ll be buying toilet seats constantly forever? Was landfill the golden age of rubbish? And what animals could a human theoretically breed with? If you want to contribute to the conversation on this, one of Britain’s most popular history podcasts, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com
