Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast

Great show, talk about some interesting topics, please redo thw intro tho, kinda makes me not wanna listen 😅

These guys are uneducated, naive and frankly stupid. Don’t listen if you’re easily irritated or want to listen to anything that is remotely researched. They simply lift stuff from wiki and claim it as their own. Rubbish.

Most of the stereotypes of Britain are mostly on target and it may mark me cringe but they are true.

A great history podcast balancing well researched stories with a sense of humour but balanced with empathy. It’s a tricky thing to get right - there are quite a few with a similar model (someone familiar with a story telling it to someone new to it) which lean too much on the humour. Here you have facts, acknowledgment that war is hell, and humour all balanced pretty well! I definitely come for the history part of military history - it’s there more in some episodes than others, sometimes if a topic has been covered before they don’t cover all the context but will point you to the episodes which do. But every one is well researched just some are more specific (e.g. the story of one battleship) and some are broader (entire Iran Iraq war) so if you’re not a battle details person or not a broad history you may skip some episodes. I would say don’t start at the beginning as it has improved over time but then after starting in the 2021 episodes I have now listened to almost all of them 😅
