I love this show! The variety of topics, the hosts ability to make those topics interesting, and the quality production make for a must listen pod. Keep it up!
A podcast with a different spin on military history. I like that various topics are covered and that it isn’t the normal stuff. Could use some audio improvements but overall I like it.
This podcast makes military history approachable for even a novice like myself, without sacrificing the details and facts. I really like it’s more of a discussion about the topics than a lesson on the event.
