About this listen
We all live by the clock. But where did it come from? Who built it? And what did we lose when we started obeying it?
Out of Time is the untold story of calendars, clocks, and the human obsession with taming chaos. From ancient moon cycles to atomic vibrations, James Johnson traces how we invented time, tried to perfect it, and accidentally built a system that now runs our lives — whether we like it or not.
This isn’t just a history of leap years and daylight saving. It’s a cultural autopsy of the world’s most trusted illusion.
If you’ve ever looked at the clock and thought “none of this feels real” — you were right. Now find out how it happened.
