Summary

This week on the show we’re looking at wars that were, frankly, weird. We’ve got the Bulgarians and Greeks booting off over a dog, the great emu war in Australia, and how about Honduras and El Salvador kicking off on the football pitch and off it.

And do you miss the days of ringing a mate’s landline to see if they wanted to do something? Or do you miss those pre-facebook days of never seeing people again? Any feedback on this weeks chat and correspondence welcome here: [email protected]

If you fancy a bunch of OWAT content you’ve never heard before, why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?

Up for grabs is:

- two bonus episodes every month!

- ad-free listening

- episodes a week ahead of everyone else

- And much more
