This week we’ll be meeting some of the most celebrated individuals of their age. We’ve got one of the most popular actresses of the 1770s - Sarah Siddons, the most successful entertainer of the 1910s - Harry Lauder, and the absolutely huge comedy radio star of the 1920s - Tommy Handley.

Elsewhere, do we simply just have too much stuff now? Would a 16th century lifestyle be better? Do let us know: hello@ohwhatatime.com

This week we’re taking a look at the curious process through which some countries were created. We have for you: the Netherlands, Canada, and Uruguay. Plus, there's a bit of an interlace of Elis's curiosity about Empire, some football references, a bit of American-Canadian rivalry, and even a nod to (erm) currant based biscuits.

Elsewhere, did the world feel smaller in the past? What makes a Town and what makes a City? And what happens when that status changes? Join us live as we try to figure it out. If you’ve got anything to add to the conversation, do that here: hello@ohwhatatime.com

This week we’re taking a historical audio holiday to some of our favourite French towns. We’ll head to the very Roman Nîmes, we’ll dine out in Dinan and finally we’ll get the true story of Deauville/Trouville.

And elsewhere this week we’re asking: what’s better? Blagging it? Or pure honesty that you have absolutely no idea what’s going on? And do you know much about The Kooks and their burger habit?

This week we’re travelling through time to see how surgery has been performed through the ages! We’ll head to 990AD to see what surgical innovation followed a monkey eating some musical instruments, the amazing (and odd) history of artificial resuscitation, and a brief history of how humans have reset and healed broken bones.

It's another subscriber special and this time, Tom has been reading Erich Maria Remarque's harrowing 1928 semi-biographical novel on the First World War: All Quiet on the Western Front.

#129 Fascism: The Story of an Idea by Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt

It’s time for another (fairly bleak) book review by our resident bleak-book expert Elis James. In this subscriber special, El shares what he’s learned by reading ‘Fascism: The Story of an Idea’ by Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt. 

Plus, the unspoken positive about a 1984 George Orwell style society is: all the CCTV means more captured gaffes for You’ve Been Framed. If you’d like to email the show you can do so at: hello@ohwhatatime.com

From July 2025, this is..

#124 Mummies

Tom has extensively researched the process by which the ancient Egyptians prepared their mummies for the afterlife and - I’m sure you won’t be surprised by this - it’s not my idea of a spa day.

Elsewhere, is it acceptable to be eating cheese at 12pm? We also uncover the most baffling items in the West Ham shop…..condoms, yes condoms. Plus a whinge about shops shutting on Sundays, early morning booze bans and how the country has clearly lost the plot.

The Ancient Egyptians believed you needed your heart, mud filled organs and a decent track record to get into the afterlife; made someone cry once and now no afterlife? Has the game gone?

For one of this month’s subscriber specials, we’re looking at Ian Kershaw’s biography of Adolf Hitler; a man Ian describes as “the embodiment of modern political evil”.

We’ll trace the book through Adolf’s early family years, his wasted youth in Vienna, his public speaking and his gradual disappearance from public view as Germany’s war effort faltered and things draw to a close in a Berlin bunker. 

From drinking gun oil to his brief flirtation with lederhosen - we’ll try to cover the beats you might have missed from the life of one of the most infamous men to have ever lived.
