**PLEASE NOTE: This episode was recorded just before Leslie Lemon - the custard-loving WW2 hero that so many listeners emailed us about - died at the age of 106 years old, last week. In tribute to the great man, we’ve left in our celebration of his custard-guzzling ways.**

This week we’re hitting the road and exploring the incredible travels of the likes of Eva Dickson, we’ll be getting in a canoe across Belgium with Robert Louis Stevenson and we’ll head to the Pacific Ocean with Meriweather Lewis.

Elsewhere, what on earth did writers do before google docs? Meet up in person? Imagine! If you’ve got anything on this or custard or anything else, you can email us: hello@ohwhatatime.com

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

Let’s have a look at some of the most interesting self-made millionaires that history has to offer! This week we have Sarah Breedlove and her lucrative beauty revolution, Richard Crawshay’s Welsh ironmongery bonanza and, more recently, let’s discuss Apple’s main man Steve Jobs.

Elsewhere, haircuts come and go - from center parting curtains to the mullet - but the medieval monk circular-shaved-bald-spot-at-the-back refuses to come back. Plus, what era of your life would you choose from for your ghost form? If you’ve got anything on this or anything else, you know what to do: hello@ohwhatatime.com

This week we’re discussing various tunes and music genres which popped up in surprising circumstances. We’ve got North Africa’s blues inspired Tuareg Rock, western music behind the iron curtain and modern attempts to recreate that original Tudor sound!

Tom’s joined the rechargeable nasal hair remover revolution and we’re talking hair removal through history this week; we’re talking Norman Lamont, we’re talking Margaret Thatcher’s press secretary. To contribute on this subject or anything else, please email: hello@ohwhatatime.com
