Another great podcast. Excellent detailed content. Btw if you're converting weight for Europeans you need to go from lbs/ stone to grams and kg. Cheers
thank you Wesley, heard the last episode just now, after a year and a half of listening to your podcast every Saturday.The best ww1 podcast on the net, by far!
Good content, ads are obnoxious and happen unexpectedly during the episodes
ads are sooo damn loud! can't listen to this with earbuds.
"Obviously not important at all. it's just a random day in November. "
There's a book you might like that I dont see in the sources called "A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and the Great War", about Tolkein, CS Lewis, their friendship, and how the war affected their writing
3 syllables. Myu-tin-nee. Not myoot-nee.
Great podcast. Detailed, quite unbiased, well documented
Wonderful podcast I love your approach to it.Bravo
fantastic podcast that tells the story of the first world war with loads of entertainment and respect for every country involved, ads are repetitive tho
