Hello, I'm Ellis James, I'm Tom Crane, and I'm Chris Skull and we're the hosts of

O Water Time, the new history podcast where we try to answer the question was the past

absolutely rubbish.

From life at sea to parenting, from pets to crime to adventurers and we ask the questions

other history shows us get to.

How would you feel about consummating your marriage in front of your in-laws in medieval

Britain?

Already done it.

O Water Time available every Monday, wherever you get your podcasts.

How you doing?

Just before we get stuck into today's podcast, a little note from our sponsors, Better

Help.

We teamed up with them in order to help you.

Everybody's been dealing with this pandemic and various other things that have come along

with it in their own way, and you may have dealt with that successfully, but if you haven't,

if you're struggling a little bit and need a little bit of extra help, why don't you tap

into the world's largest network of licensed, accredited and experienced therapists who can

help you with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship trauma, grief,

much more.

Anything that is bothering you, these guys can help you out with it.

With their therapists, you get the same professional quality that you would expect from an in-office

therapist, but with the ability to communicate when and how you want, which is most important.
