    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday! It’s our first ever sequel episode and this week we’re looking at one of our favourite subjects: Blunders.

This week we found out that Tom literally once hit the headlines and that headline was ‘IDIOT’. We also heard our first Correspondence sting and there was plenty of examples of people getting stuck in coats. If you’d like to get in touch about that or anything else, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com If you're impatient and want both parts in one lovely go next time plus a whole lot more(!), why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?
