- Narrator is overly dramatic
The narrator adds his own subjective opinions with way too much yelling! Battlecast is the bottom ten of Podcasts that I’ve tried and left.

United States4 months ago - Love it!
I absolutely love your show! You do great research and dive pretty deep into great subjects. Please, please do something about the volume spikes. I have to drive with my hand on the volume. It won’t keep me from listening but it would be nice to set the volume and leave it. A minor gripe in comparison to the quality of the show.
Apple Podcasts5Someone in Mew MexicoUnited Statesa year ago - Fascist?
Host not so subtly throws in comments heavily implying South Africa & Soweto were better during apartheid..? Scary stuff. Also implies he enjoys homelessness etc because he thinks they deserve it. He does list books he sources his material from so 1 star for that 👍😶

Apple Podcasts5SOLDATEN 562/ SO.CAL. 420!!United Statesa year ago - Well researched…..but leave the pontificating at home!
I’ve been a long time listener of this podcast, appreciating Dr. Wolf‘s depth of research on his topics. However, this last episode’s endless preaching of being an angry, “traditional “ male is simply just too much. I’ve had a 40 year career with our country’s great military services, and the faux macho attitude of men like this is simply not appreciated. Sadly, this is my last listen.
