Oh What A Time is moving to the Wondery network!

We’re thrilled to be joining forces with one of the biggest names in podcasting, and we couldn’t be more excited. They’re the home of some truly incredible shows - and 2 Elis James podcasts - and now, we’re joining that lineup!

So what does this mean for you, dear listeners? First off, don’t worry - Oh What A Time is still the same show you know and love.

If you’re one of our loyal “Full Timers”, here’s where things get interesting. We are moving our subscription offering to Wondery Plus, where you can enjoy Part 1 and Part 2 of each episode topic on the same day, one-week early and ad-free. Additionally, you’ll still have access to 2x bonus episodes a month.

If you’re a “Full Timer” subscriber on Apple Podcasts, you will soon receive a notice of cancellation, with a refund to your subscription at the time of the next billing attempt. For annual subscribers, this may mean that your refund will be processed at the end of your annual subscription term.

To re-subscribe, you will need to sign up to Wondery Plus via Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app. And as a gesture of goodwill, our friends at Wondery are offering an extended 3-month free trial of Wondery+ to first-time users in the UK & US. So not only can you access all of our subscriber benefits early and ad-free, but you’ll also have access to Wondery’s 250-strong catalogue of shows, including some of our favourites: British Scandal, Kill List, and How I Built This

To access this 3-month free trial of Wondery Plus, all you need to do is download the Wondery app and follow the instructions to activate your free three-month trial.

If you're a subscriber on AnotherSlice, you don't need to do anything; you'll still get bonus episodes and everything else as normal.

Excited for the Wondery years to get going!

Chris, Elis and Tom x

And this week we learned that one of these two things are true: 1) Every dark urban myth that went around Britain did actually REALLY HAPPEN in 90s Carmarthen and Elis simply didn’t have enough time on google to find the evidence, or; 2) Elis is the most gullible podcaster in Britain.
