    #185 Abandoned Theme Parks (Part 2)

    23/06/2026 | 27 mins.
    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

    This week we’re looking at theme parks which simply no longer exist! We’ve got London’s glamorous and failed Segaworld, the slightly less glamorous Mr Blobby inspired Blobbyland and Wales’ own Penscynor Wild Life Park.

    Elsewhere, who was the last person to have read every book? How good was Kim Il Sung at golf? And can Jimmy Carter read 2,000 words a minute?! If you have anything on this, please email: hello@ohwhatatime.com

    And from now on Part 1 is released on Monday and Part 2 on Wednesday - but if you want more Oh What A Time and both parts at once, you should sign up for our Patreon! On there you’ll now find:

    #184 Tough Gigs featuring Elis ‘3x microphones’ James (Part 2)

    16/06/2026 | 25 mins.
    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

    We’ve got a brilliant episode this week: we’ve turned to history to find the worst jobs we can. We’ve got tanning (leather, not the sun beds), bridge painting, and the Victorian workhouse.. and take our word for it, they are all absolutely awful.

    Elsewhere, Elis’ grandad had tools for a career down the mine whilst Elis has 3x microphones for his career down the audio mine. If you’ve got anything to send us, please do it here: hello@ohwhatatime.com
