I’ve been listening from start to June 1915 and suddenly episodes are unavailable. It seems to be episodes June 1915 through to February 1917. I’m having withdrawals!!! Please fix as I’d love to keep listening.
Marvellous series

I’ve truely enjoyed this wonderful series from the beginning. I’ll be sorry when November comes around and the war is over. I never thought I would be sorry for peace to come.
Wonderfully Engrossing

In the space of a month, I have binged on the whole series (Home Front Omnibus) to date (March 2018). I am completely engrossed in the intertwining stories and characters. There is something special in thinking this is set exactly 100 years ago. I've heard that the series may conclude in November this year, and I'm already dreading the end. (Please continue on into the 20s!) I have enjoyed this so much that I'm actually considering going back to the beginning and listening again. This is one of the best podcasts ever.
I can't wait for the release of each Omnibus

The storylines, characters & information relating the effects of the war are superb. I miss them when they break between series'. I have all the omnibus' saved and listen to them time & again. I love it, treat yourself.
