Love this podcast. So interesting and well thought through. War of the roses series particularly well explained.
Has fab guests who know their stuff, and film reviews are fun. Love the book recommends too. Really good.
Always interesting
The NAM Rogers professor has no respect for the US Navy. He got the facts wrong about how the dive bombers got away with their attack at Midway land when, and said the battle was a mess despite the US clobbering all 4 of the Japanese carriers. It is very amusing to Pommies that the US armed forces are good at good at anything and would be hopeless without the help of the mother country. Love the show.
Fun and informative
Thank you to Ollie and the rest of the crew for putting this on.
The podcast adds something valuable to my days
