Great podcast. I enjoy listening to this podcast. I love WWII history. I learn so much from this podcast. The hosts do a great job of describing and explaining the storyline.
Great Podcast! .. but the accents

Aug 6

welcome to the tuddys

I love this podcast, it’s incredibly in-depth and witty as well. Great chemistry and keeps your attention well! One thing, please stop with trying to imitate German accents, it’s not landing at all and the only thing I don’t enjoy about “We have Ways”.
An only European/British focus

An entertaining and informative narrative history of WWII that completely ignores the war in the Pacific and downplays the U.S. contributions to the war in Europe. In its reviews of the best commanders in the war, Douglas MacArthur wasn’t even mentioned.
Enthusiastic

I applaud the information, the research, and the effort involved. However, the presentation is… bombastic, shouting, and one feels the need for a cloth to wipe away the flying spittle. Worse, my attention drifts inexorably as the yelling drags on, to the deficit of all. Gentlemen, tone it down. Important vital information is not emphasized or enhanced by screaming it. Also, where can I sign up for Al’s speech therapy patreon?
