#129 Fascism: The Story of an Idea by Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt

It’s time for another (fairly bleak) book review by our resident bleak-book expert Elis James. In this subscriber special, El shares what he’s learned by reading ‘Fascism: The Story of an Idea’ by Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt.

Plus, the unspoken positive about a 1984 George Orwell style society is: all the CCTV means more captured gaffes for You’ve Been Framed. If you’d like to email the show you can do so at: hello@ohwhatatime.com

#124 Mummies

Tom has extensively researched the process by which the ancient Egyptians prepared their mummies for the afterlife and - I’m sure you won’t be surprised by this - it’s not my idea of a spa day.

Elsewhere, is it acceptable to be eating cheese at 12pm? We also uncover the most baffling items in the West Ham shop…..condoms, yes condoms. Plus a whinge about shops shutting on Sundays, early morning booze bans and how the country has clearly lost the plot.

The Ancient Egyptians believed you needed your heart, mud filled organs and a decent track record to get into the afterlife; made someone cry once and now no afterlife? Has the game gone?

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

This week we’re joined by one of our favourite historians in the whole world, it’s Dan Snow! We treat this episode like we’ve cornered Dan at a BBQ and just ping him with questions: how gruesome was the Battle of Waterloo? What was the worst job on a ship? Did the Nazi Gold Train actually exist?

We cover a lot on this pod, but if we’ve missed anything, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com
