Episode Synopsis

This week on Ordinary Observations we stop the clocks and take a timely look at a history of time zones. How did we get here? Short answer: The steam locomotive. Listen in to hear the long answer and how ultimately it all ends in a personal anecdote of Jack missing a football match. We also discuss a few strange time zones from around the globe, and attempt an explanation as to how the International Date Line got that bug hook it in. I promise you'll learn something, this time on Ordinary Observations.
