Oh What A Time...
đ¨ EMERGENCY PODCAST đ¨
Ep. 188
â˘
Hey listeners,
As you may have seen, our podcasting host Wondery has closed its UK operations â which has left Oh What A Time a little homeless for the moment.
Wondery+ has been the home of our bonus content for the past year, so with those doors closing, our paid subscriber episodes also needed somewhere new to live.
The good news: as of today, weâve found that new home â Patreon! đ
On our Patreon youâll now find:
- The full archive of bonus episodes
- Brand new bonus episodes each month
- OWAT subscriber group chats
- Loads of extra perks for supporters of the show
- PLUS the first two episodes of our new series (Technophobia and Memorials), which we canât wait to share with you.
Join us at đ patreon.com/ohwhatatime
And as a special thank you, use the code custard for 25% off your first month.
Thanks so much for sticking with us â and apologies for the little pause while we find a new long-term home for the show.
Chris, Tom & Elis x
