  • Excellent

    I enjoy how these guys don’t just talk about the research subject but the wider background of the interviewee. They display a much wider world knowledge and appreciation of different views that can sometimes be the case, along with a dose of good humour.

  • A missed opportunity

    The hosts seem deliberately to want to start political conversations instead of discussing the core topic. Every guest is asked about DEI topics. Talk about military history instead.

  • Don’t Miss This Show!

    I look forward to this show every week. Brian and Bill do a fantastic job putting together thought-provoking and inspiring conversations with the individuals behind some of the most fascinating research being done today, and listeners not only have the opportunity to learn about these projects, but can also get to know the scholars themselves and gain a glimpse of what it means to be a military historian. Such a great series - don’t miss it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6E22 Jane Gulliford Lowes - Second World War Historian
Q: Tell us about yourself, where you're from, and what sent you down the path to becoming a lawyer and then making the switch to history?
Jane describes growing up in the northeast of England in a mining town, with a family legacy tied to mining and service in WWII. She pursued law and practiced for many years before realizing her passion for history, which led her to study Second World War history at Wolverhampton and eventually write books that blend archival research with human stories.
S6E19 Briana Gervat - Author and Historian
Q: What attracted you to the Western Front Way and how did you prepare for it physically and academically?
She explains the WWI pilgrimage as a purposeful, reflective journey rather than a rush; physical prep was limited by an athletic background, with emphasis on stamina, terrain, and pacing, and reading the WWI literature to contextualize sites along the route.
S6E19 Briana Gervat - Author and Historian
Q: Tell us about yourself. Where did you grow up? How did you end up getting into art history?
Briana shares growing up on Long Island with a strong Italian and Polish family background, explains how lacrosse and athletics shaped her college choices, and describes discovering art history as a path that combined her love of history with visual culture, leading to studies at Mary Washington and SCAD.
S6E09 Guy Nasuti - US Naval History and Heritage Command
Q: What inspired your recent book about kamikazes?
I started writing articles related to the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa, which turned into a longer book project due to the themes that emerged during my research.
S6E09 Guy Nasuti - US Naval History and Heritage Command
Q: What do you do at the Naval History and Heritage Command?
We preserve and share the Navy's history, operating ten museums and telling the stories important to the American people and service members.
