That's Nice, Grandma

S2 Ep4: Wibbly-Wobbly

Listen Later
This week, Rhiannon discovers the history of clocks. She explores the concept of time, cultural approaches to timekeeping, the history of temporal accounting methods, and more, all while doing her best not to exclaim that time is fake every ninety seconds. Listen to the end to hear a sentimental monologue about staying hopeful.

This podcast is produced and edited by me, Rhiannon. Music written and performed by our resident noisemaker, Tay Clarke. Find the show online at www.thatsnicepod.com, or follow our Instagram, @thatsnicepod.
