- Purple Heart Warriors
Fantastic drama. Utterly astounding how they capture the feelings. I didn’t know anything about this part of Japanese-American war history. 💜

United Kingdom9 months ago I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes, clunky exposition dump with characters explaining things to the audience not each other. Don't waste your time

United Statesa year ago Yet another in the increasing, misleading list of scripted podcasts. I'd been looking forward to this one, and downloaded all the episodes available- then left, deflated, disappointed, and duped after about 10 minutes. I'd much rather hear real voices, not some lame, sophomoric writing read by high-school caliber actors. If it's a scripted show, then SAY SO IN YOUR DESCRIPTION. Do better, BBC.
