Summary

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

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
