I like this podcast
Episode 300 with John, Jonathan and Alex was excellent. Intelligent and scholarly without being pompous or elite.
This podcast has some really interesting episodes, some appear a few months after other podcasters have produced similar content.
The main issue is the sound quality is appalling, mostly recordings of telephone conversations or zoom calls … who knows. Up your game.

Providing a deep examination of various aspects of the Great War, the content focuses on lesser-known stories, personal narratives, and contributions of different groups during this tumultuous period. Episodes often feature scholarly discussions on specific themes such as the psychological impacts on soldiers, including Shellshock, the role of various military units, and the evolution of public perception toward the war. The unique approach of integrating personal histories alongside significant historical events allows listeners to connect emotionally with the subject matter while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Great War's complexities.
