Summary

This week we’re tackling a subject Elis has suggested, the writing of history itself: historiography! We’ll be chatting about one of the godfathers of history Herodotus, the owner of one of history’s all-time great beards Karl Marx and we’ll be discussing (and mainly trying to understand) postmodernism.

Elsewhere, Tom keeps losing his keys and claims there’s nothing he can do about it, Elis is convinced there was once a thing called the ‘Never Never Club’ in South Wales and why exactly are keys still such a big thing anyway? If you’ve got anything to add on any of these subjects, please email us at: [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

0:21.8	The History Podcasts that asks, what was life like before house keys and those weird
0:27.8	little things that you put on key rings that allow you to locate house keys.
0:31.9	And the reason I'm asking this is that Tom is having to record with the door open in his
0:37.4	little office because his mother-in-law
0:39.5	doesn't have house keys
0:40.9	and as Chris said, quite rightly
0:43.3	in my opinion, there's always something.
0:45.2	This is always something.
0:46.8	And that wasn't said with any
0:48.2	particular levity. There wasn't much. It was
0:50.2	quite cutting. I felt like I was being
0:52.2	knee-capped. Well, there's no affection
0:53.6	there. Or empathy. I felt like I was being kneecapped. Well, there's no affection there. Or empathy.
0:56.6	I kept saying it sounds like a good system.
0:59.7	So we should explain the system is that...
1:01.6	That your mother-in-law doesn't have a house key, so you broadcast or podcast with a door open so that you can hear her knock the door or ring the bell.
