Hello there, this is the trailer for Oh What A Time, a new history podcast presented by me, the proud owner of a degree in history, Ellis James. And me, comedian and history enthusiast, Tom Crane. And me, graduate of the University of East London, it's a real university, Chris Scull. Each week we'll be firing up our time machine and heading back in time to tackle a brand new subject. From childhood to a life at sea, marriage to fashion, all in an effort to answer the question, was the past as awful as it sounds? Or was a life without mattresses

and central heating actually better? We've actually recorded quite a few episodes and the thing that really sticks with me is what we learned about a pig that became really intelligent by claiming to have eaten books. That's the kind of historical insight that is not getting covered elsewhere. We're not afraid to tackle the big subjects.

That's what's great about this podcast. There's the bit in Short Circuit where Johnny Five is sort of up all night reading encyclopedias and stuff and just saying, input, input. There was a pig doing this first hundreds and hundreds of years ago. The original Johnny Five. The original Johnny Five was a pig who ate literature. Exactly.

And also how Vikings went about having a poo. Absolutely. Yeah. Once again, you're not getting this anywhere else. Exactly. They did it in the same way biologically just to be absolutely clear yes yeah they just they just had very very different sensibilities about what wasn't and wasn't acceptable but to be honest i mean as we've established on the podcast because we've recorded quite a few now as chris said it was a different time so that's oh what a
