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
