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.
And are we in the golden age of the peeler? Would stone-age man have struggled to peel all the potatoes and carrots for Christmas dinner using flint? I mean, who knows. But if you’ve got anything to add on this or anything else, hit us up on: [email protected]

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].

Pull down the decorations and throw the tree in the street; because this week we’re discussing a few of the attempts through history to cancel Christmas. You can expect an appearance from Oliver Cromwell, Maximilien Robespierre will pop up too, as will all the critics of Elvis Presley’s 1957 Christmas album.
And this week we’ve got several great emails on the subject of “who are you playing a song to from history and what song are you picking and what do you want out of it?” (Snappier title for this feature very urgent). If you’d like to chip in you can email: [email protected]).

This week we’re tackling a subject Elis has suggested, the writing of history itself: historiography! We’ll be chatting about one of the godfathers of history Herodotus, the owner of one of history’s all-time great beards Karl Marx and we’ll be discussing (and mainly trying to understand) postmodernism.
Elsewhere, Tom keeps losing his keys and claims there’s nothing he can do about it, Elis is convinced there was once a thing called the ‘Never Never Club’ in South Wales and why exactly are keys still such a big thing anyway? If you’ve got anything to add on any of these subjects, please email us at: [email protected]

Elis’ is off filming his stand-up Christmas special, so we’re delighted to welcome in his stead the star of Radio X, Pappy’s and the Beckenham fireworks display: Matthew Crosby! And we’ll be discussing Recreation; how the vikings spent their spare time, the smash hit Tudor game of Fives and the national obsession with modelling.
Plus, it turns out Tom spent his childhood on a chair, up a tree. If you’ve got anything to say about this or anything else, please do drop us an email: [email protected]

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday!
We’ve got a different episode format for you this week; a book review of the 1989 classic chronicle of the French Revolution: Citizens by Simon Schama. We’ll be focussing on; the storming of the Bastille, the flight to Varennes of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and the fearsome guillotine.
Elsewhere this week we’re trying to figure out why piano teachers are, by and large, quite mean folk. If you’ve got something to contribute, why not ping us over an email to: [email protected]

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!

This week we’re discussing 3 absolute icons: the iconic Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, the incredibly talented JMW Turner and one of Victorian Britain’s most iconic sport stars, Arthur Gould.
Elsewhere this week we are bemoaning the fate that has befallen the humble travel book, whilst also speculating on the fate of Horatio Nelson’s arm (which he famously lost on a disastrous lads holiday to Tenerife).
