  • Extremely interesting and well researched

    I found this podcast some months ago, moved by a curiosity about the maginot line: after searching various videos, podcasts for something that would go in depth I finally stumbled upon the history of the Second World War.

  • Great Way to Learn About WWI

    I have been bingeing this podcast for the last few months and have really come to appreciate the depth of Livesay’s research, and his straightforward presentation. He provides a lot of detail without being overwhelming, and I have a much better understanding of this pivotal period of history than I did beforehand (and I am a history buff and thought I knew a lot). Highly recommended!!
