Oh What A Time...

#67 Complaining (Part 1)

Listen on

Episode notes

This week we’re looking at how the art of complaining has evolved over history. You’ll hear the evidence of people having a moan in Ancient Babylonia, Pliny the Younger and his tear-ups with his pal Septicius Clarus, plus.. how medieval scribes expressed a displeasure with their lot. 


And the big conversation that’s got the nation thinking this week: could anyone feasibly build a house out of Chomps? I’m sure you’ll have thoughts on this subject so please do send them in: [email protected]
