Absolutely love, love, love these podcasts. I listen daily on my dog walks everyday. There’s always something new to learn in them. It’s so good to get the personal stories which makes it all seem much more real. Many a time I walk with tears in my eyes from some of the stories.

Terry recently helped me find out a lot more info about my Great Uncle Horace who was killed during WW1. His passion and knowledge is unrivalled, his research unbelievably detailed and this all comes across in the podcasts. A must-listen as I walk my dog every morning.
