Hello, history fans, I'm Eris James. I'm Tom Crane and I'm Chris Skull. And we're the hosts of

Oh What a Time, the History podcast, which tries to answer the question,

was the past as horrific as it seems. Each week we tackle a brand new subject, from life in Nelson's

Navy, to death in ancient Rome, from maniacal monarchs to Soviet spies, to the history of milk.

Yes, this is Oh What a Time, the podcast, The Times newspaper, described as

very funny, if less scholarly, then it's rivals. Probably fair. And we've got a real treat

for you right now. You're going to hear one of our favourite episodes. It's Life at Sea.

Yes, today I'm going to be talking about life on a Viking longboat. Pretty tough, to be honest.

I'm going to be talking about the history of Welsh pirates. West Whalian pirates were world-class

pirates, but it's 100 years ago, so we can have a laugh about it.

And no life at sea episode would be complete without Mr Christian, sir, a mutiny on the bounty.

So I'll be taking you back there just to see how bad it got.

That's oh what a time available every Monday and Tuesday on Wondry with two bonus episodes every month on Wondry Plus.
