Splendid Second World War podcast which for the most part is informative, reflective and illuminating.

Every episode is a real pleasure
Dreadful to laugh at the death of the first pilot ever to fly off a ship. It really turned my stomach, I know the son of one of his squadron
Members and it shows lousy taste to make a joke of that death - often the presenters laugh at death and misfortunes. My brother had already binned the shows, I am quitting too.
