How in the world will we ever find out how World War I end even more importantly who wins? Hope to hear your top-of-the-line podcast soon and you better have a good reason for being away! We missed you.
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.
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!
This is very informative podcast delivered beautifully and passionately. I’ve learned a great deal from this show . It’s like sitting with the narrator and just listening to a subject each week from across the table or chair .
Thank you !
Great interview. The book just came and I’m starting it when I go to bed tonight👍
