The Battles of the First World War Podcast goes in-depth into the battles of the Great War of 1914-1918. The goal is to really go into the details of how and why these battles unfolded and happened as they did. In telling the narrative of these clashes we can revisit some of the stories of the men and women who lived, fought, and died during the first titanic struggle of the 20th Century, for these people have stories that deserve to be told.

The Best WW1 podcasts to date
Mike Cunha’s Battles of the First World War podcast is the best WW1 podcast I have found to date. Each offensive and battle as part of the offensive is meticulously researched and presented from the perspective of all sides participating. Mike presents the facts in a clear and interesting way and one doesn’t need to have a military background to understand what is going on. The podcast is immersive and one can really get a feel for what is was like for the soldier in the trenches. Mike’s work is so well researched that it is obviously taking up a great deal of his time but one can only hope he doesn’t stop once the Western Front is fully covered. Thanks a lot Mike.
