#127 Revolting Peasants (Part 1)

29 min • 27 juli 2025

This week we’re discussing some of history’s most revolting peasants! Now no episode like this would be complete without rumoured West Ham fan Wat Tyler, plus we’ll have the New York story of Dr Smith Azer Broughton, and we’ll hear from the Kulaks that riled against Stalin’s rule in the 20th century.

And this week we’re talking about historical marketing offers that went wrong. Sunny Delight turning you orange! McDonalds and the olympics in the 80s! What else have we missed? hello@ohwhatatime.com

Up for grabs is:

- two bonus episodes every month!
