Summary
We’re diving into palace intrigue, starting with the assassination of Philip II at a wedding that makes Game of Thrones look tame.
Also, Tom has an idea for glasses innovation that sounds suspiciously like the glasses Dutch footballer Edgar David’s wore in the 90s. Please email in your criticism to: hello@ohwhatatime.com
If you fancy a bunch of OWAT content you’ve never heard before (and the entirety of the mini-series right now!), 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
