Oh What A Time...

We’ve touched on conspiracies on the show, but this week we have for 100% true conspiracies that really did happen - it’s Cover Ups! We’ll have the Ozyorsk Disaster hidden away by the Soviets, what the US Government really knew about bootlegging during prohibition and how Margaret Thatcher prepared to battle the striking minders of the 1980s.

And boy are we glad we’re in the elastic age with pants securely tightened in-place. And do you work in a place that sells a historic food or drink? You can get in touch via the medium of the future, whenever you want: [email protected]

This week we’re looking at horror throughout literature. Come with us as we meet the undead of Ancient Greece, Werewolves and the absolutely terrifying Wendigo.

This week we’re trawling through history to discover how people got cancelled in the past. We’ll have the ancient Egyptians striking people from the record, how Stalin photoshopped associates away and how ‘getting cancelled’ worked during the European renaissance.

And when did New Year’s resolutions kick in? Did anyone ever think “this year of 1024 is going to be MY year!”? If you’ve got anything on this, OR MEAD to be fair, please do drop us an email: [email protected]

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]

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].
