Host James Early has a keen sense of when to provide context for weekend warrior historians, and when to use his deep historical knowledge to challenge the experts and shine a light into the less well-explored corners of our nation’s military past. Often funny and always engaging, KBOAH lies in the comfortable space between a TEDtalk by a West Point military histo... more

  • Learned better Texas and American history than I did in my public school

    Podcast puts complicated military history into the political and cultural context. Still absolutely begging for a long term series on ANY major USA/or Colonial-Native America conflict. Not the French and Indian war type stuff.

  • Very accessible and interesting

    Thank you, James, as well as to your team and co-hosts and guests, for breaking down these important and interesting nuggets of U.S. history. More often than not episodes lead me to searches for ancillary information which in turn open other new doors.

    I love this podcast’s style and vibe and because I only learned of it a couple years ago, I enjoy goi g back through the archives. Well done, sir. Looking forward to more.

  • Nobody cares about movie reviews.

    What happened??? Self serving “humor” from Early. Surprisingly Scott and everyone else puts up with the slow death of this podcast. Used to be informative. Brutal.

    What are you…Siskel and Ebert?
