Oh What A Time...

#10 Jobs

Up this week we're looking a collection of absolutely random jobs from history. From the folk who sang the news, to professional knocker uppers plus we take a look at the people paid to clap the arts in 19th century France.
And ONE DAY TIME MACHINE is back; is there somewhere in history you'd like to go for a day? You can let us know here: hello@ohwhatatime.com
