Oh What A Time...

#9 Humour

Let's have a historical laugh shall we? This week we're analysing what has registered as 'humour' through the ages. We'll be taking a look at the kind of gags you might see chiselled on the walls of ancient Egypt, why the ancient Greek's found flatulence so amusing plus we trawl through the kind of jokes doing the rounds in the Soviet Union.
And the world's greatest feature ONE DAY TIME MACHINE returns! Let us know where in history you'd like to go for one day and also please fill us in on your time travel rules: hello@ohwhatatime.com
This first series will contain 12 episodes that we’ll be releasing weekly. If there's an episode you'd like to hear, please let us know!
Aaannnd if you like it, why not drop us a review in your podcast app of choice? (Thus taking heed of our increasingly desperate pleas for reviews).

Tackling a brand new subject each week, (from ‘childhood’ to ‘a life at sea’, ‘marriage’ to ‘holidays’) your hosts will dive into the very weirdest and worst that history has to offer, in an effort to answer the question… "Was the past as awful as it sounds?"
