About this listen

It’s time to embark on a journey through history with "Oh What A Time…" a comedy history podcast hosted by renowned comedians Elis James and Tom Craine along with award winning podcaster Chris Scull. 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?"

Listen to Oh What A Time... on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Start your free trial by visiting https://wondery.com/links/oh-what-a-time/

You can get in touch with the show by emailing: hello@ohwhatatime.com.

  • 🚨 EMERGENCY PODCAST 🚨
    Sep 28 2025

    Hey listeners,

    As you may have seen, our podcasting host Wondery has closed its UK operations — which has left Oh What A Time a little homeless for the moment.

    Wondery+ has been the home of our bonus content for the past year, so with those doors closing, our paid subscriber episodes also needed somewhere new to live.

    The good news: as of today, we’ve found that new home — Patreon! 🎉

    On our Patreon you’ll now find:

    • The full archive of bonus episodes
    • Brand new bonus episodes each month
    • OWAT subscriber group chats
    • Loads of extra perks for supporters of the show
    • PLUS the first two episodes of our new series (Technophobia and Memorials), which we can’t wait to share with you.


    Join us at 👉 patreon.com/ohwhatatime

    And as a special thank you, use the code custard for 25% off your first month.

    Thanks so much for sticking with us — and apologies for the little pause while we find a new long-term home for the show.

    Chris, Tom & Elis x
