Description
Every soldier has a story. Some, they try to forget. Others, they can’t stop thinking about – stories that no one else would believe happened. Something that terrified them. Something they cannot explain.
From Ballen Studios, and hosted by Marine Corp Reconnaissance veteran, Luke Lamana, this is Wartime Stories. A weekly podcast that is a mix of horror, mystery, and awe inspiring tales. Where the strange, dark & mysterious meets the battlefield and beyond.

sadly it seems that language fillers are increasing more and more. I would rather have a short story than a padded out story, please.
nasa mocking people for the truth, weather manipulation is real. Operation Popeye. look it up.
I hope this trend doesn't continue.
stopped half way through, a first for your content on here or YouTube. hope this was just a one off 🫤
This one sounds like AI. I tend to drop subs when this sort of this starts happening on otherwise decent podcasts. I'm not going to pay in for an AI storytelling session.
This doesn't sound like Luke
episode 18. vivid picture, awesome
this has been a most interesting series, thank you
excellent episode. night vision goggles comes with demons
Why does this episode sound like it is AI generated?
brilliant
I remember seeing this story on your YouTube channel 2 years ago
great but very horrific and tragic story.
the voice of the host is a bit off-putting. Otherwise, decent show
is that "get out" line from mr. ballen lol
Great show and podcast, there's a great channel called Bedtime Stories they got me on to Wartime Stories. I now eenjoy both of these shows.
