    #77 Citizens by Simon Schama (Part 2)
    Nov 19 2024

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


    We’ve got a different episode format for you this week; a book review of the 1989 classic chronicle of the French Revolution: Citizens by Simon Schama. We’ll be focussing on; the storming of the Bastille, the flight to Varennes of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and the fearsome guillotine.


    Elsewhere this week we’re trying to figure out why piano teachers are, by and large, quite mean folk. If you’ve got something to contribute, why not ping us over an email to: hello@ohwhatatime.com
