Excellent historical information of all things World War One. The hosts are very good and easy to listen to as well. They really put myths to rest whilst giving a depth of context to one of the biggest and perhaps horrifying conflicts in human history. Great job.
I was delighted to see Dan Hill and Spencer Jones working together on this project. Both are academic heroes of mine from their previous work. Keep it going gentlemen. You bring a little more enjoyment to the day.
Insights and battle details, soldier’s point of view and command as well. I feel like I’m back in an upper level history course only I get multiple professors. The guest on the Verdun episodes is really good too along with the main hosts. Love it!
Phenomenal. Love listening to Dan and Spencer discussing all these fascinating topics. I not only gain a lot of in-depth knowledge, but have an ever-growing list of books I want to read based on their recommendations. Out of the many podcasts I listen to, this one has very quickly become my absolute favourite.
No improvements possible, except that I hope that you will do more episodes about equipment.
