Thank you for making an informed and entertaining podcast. You explore WW I with a clear passion, fed by your own curiosity. Your tone and cadence makes it easy to get lost in the story and visualize the scenes. This in my top plays alongside Mike Duncan’s Revolutions and anything Dan Carlin releases.
I was fortunate enough to go on the tour in 2024. I may someday forget the year I went, but I will never forget the experience. It was a big item on the bucket list and Mike and Rob kicked it over like a refrigerator rolling down a hill. Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime.
