Summary

This week on the show we’re discussing the magnificent inventions invented by early US Presidents! For you we have George Washington’s threshing barn (not a pub), Thomas Jefferson’s wheelie chair (as exciting as it sounds) and Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod (not as rude as it sounds). When exactly was the golden age of parking? We can’t decide if it was the coin-based or app-based eras. If you have anything on parking, inventions or anything else, you know what to do: [email protected] If you're impatient and want both parts in one lovely go next time plus a whole lot more(!), why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Oh What a time the history podcast that tries to decide
0:15.9	that in comparison with today's problems, bad Wi-Fi etc, actually the problems of the past were fairly trifling to be
0:25.4	honest. There was not that much going on and you know like I've got a sat you
0:31.8	know when I park now I can't use cash you got to use an
0:34.7	app but it's very very annoying etc etc and to be honest I think I probably would
