    #44 Weather (Part 2)
    May 6 2024
    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday! This week we’re talking about unique weather events through history. From the great freeze of 1899 that plunged Miami to sub-zero temperatures, the great storm (in the UK) of 1987 (and how badly Michael Fish got it all BANG WRONG) and of course, the LONG-HOT-SUMMER-OF-NINETEEN-SEVENTY-SIX (which Elis’ parents WILL NOT STOP GOING ON ABOUT). Plus there’s even more Jeremy Bentham bantz. And if you want to get in touch with the show, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com And YES! You may have spotted a new numbering system. Well, we haven’t gone straight from episode #39 to episode #44 by accident (!), we have in fact retroactively applied episode numbers to old subscriber specials: #40 Heroes (OWAT: Full Timer Edition) #41 Gifts (OWAT: Full Timer Edition) #42 Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll (OWAT: Full Timer Edition) #43 Protests (OWAT: Full Timer Edition) When informed of this, Tom Craine said he felt “absolutely no emotion whatsoever” - but nonetheless, there’s the explanation for those who need it.
