This week we’re talking Dragons from down the ages! They’ve come in all different forms through the annuls of history, we’ve got; what the ancient Romans referred to as the ‘Draco’, the Asian Dragon and the featured servants of ancient Central America.

Elsewhere, has THE INTERNET made a historians life far easier? The internet has ALL THE INFORMATION EVER - surely Hugh Redwald Trevor-Roper would’ve loved it. If you’ve got anything to add on this or IF YOU HAVE ANY 2003 PROBLEMS, do get in touch: hello@ohwhatatime.com

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

This week we’re taking a look at the curious process through which some countries were created. We have for you: the Netherlands, Canada, and Uruguay. Plus, there's a bit of an interlace of Elis's curiosity about Empire, some football references, a bit of American-Canadian rivalry, and even a nod to (erm) currant based biscuits.

Elsewhere, did the world feel smaller in the past? What makes a Town and what makes a City? And what happens when that status changes? Join us live as we try to figure it out. If you’ve got anything to add to the conversation, do that here: hello@ohwhatatime.com
