  • The Best History Podcast Out There

    The level of detail this podcast goes into is unparalleled, yet the episodes are very clear and easy to follow. The research is meticulous. The narrator discusses so many perspectives, and acknowledges areas that could do with greater research. The best history podcast out there, the depth it goes into is what other podcasts should strive for. Recommended for history enthusiasts well-versed in WW1 history and students just starting out.

  • Superb atmospheric and detailed

    It is hard to overstate how good this podcast is! I came to it because of my 52 year obsession about the battle of Verdun and the titanic struggle. Mike covers it superbly. I shall listen on because of the presenters knowledge, and his soldiers eye for the important details that others might ignore. Bravo!

Q: Could you imagine figuring out the lineage of these things?
That's what happens, you buy medals and then you want to know about the battle of the medal you bought.
Montreal to Courcelette via Paardeberg, a Discussion with Michel Gravel
Q: What is the medal we're looking at? What is it called again?
Well, this is the 1914-15 Star. This is if you arrived in after November 22nd, 1914, up until December 31st, 1915, you got the 1915 Star and there are no bars.
