  • I love this podcast

    Great podcast! I love how they go into depths about culture items of WWI instead of just an generic overview of the war like most podcasts. I find it fascinating, topics like the specifics of the rainbow division, to origins of a cup of joe and even how the French used wine rations to build moral. Really love the podcast; my only two requests are to keep up what other counties were doing besides just the US and work on the audio quality. Thanks!!

  • Parker Hitt author/speaker boring

    This author/speaker on Parker hit is so enormously detailed that she is missing the big point, she never really gets at the significance of HIIT, she ignores the audience. Whoever she is talking to her, in her head, is not any of the listeners of this podcast. I suggest you do a redo of this Hitt interview, ask someone else about this great man. But this author is a minutia disaster.

  • Informative, informative, informative

    If you are looking for a podcast that will almost bore you to death with how informational it is then this is the one for you! Now you might think I say “bore” as a bad thing but if you are a true history nerd then you know that boring is actually just a testament to how good the content is. It largely focuses on the Americans in WW1 but they do a good job of giving you some info from the other belligerents as well.

  • Good work

    Very informative and excellent that the podcast goes through a lot of subjects about the war that doesn’t get talked about in different WW1 podcasts. Way to go 👍👍
