This week we’re crossing the audio velvet rope to enter some of the most renowned and exclusive clubs in history. We’ll be heading to 70s New York for a night out in Studio 54, we’ll be heading into the UK’s capital to experience the world’s first members club White’s of London, and we’ll finish by heading to revolutionary France for a cup of tea with the Friends of the Constitution.
And this week we’re talking about 2012 technology and how much someone from 2012 might have their mind blown by 2026. If you’ve got something for our mailbox (or if you want to petition Tom & El to make new music), send it right in here: hello@ohwhatatime.com
