This week on the show, it’s a veritable feast as we discuss some of the most infamous dinner parties from history. We’ve got the super-sweet suppers that the teenage Emperor Elagabulus loved to throw, the horrendous story of the Black Dinner at Edinburgh Castle in 1440 and finally, we’ll hear what spectators saw when they gathered round to watch Louis XIV eat his massive daily dinner.

Lots of chat this week about stocks, pillories and the nature of Rod Stewart’s massive train set. If you’ve got anything to add on that or anything else, please do get in touch with the show: hello@ohwhatatime.com
