I am a long time listener and love the big picture view you provide in this latest series about the visionaries. I’d love to hear more of this kind of big picture perspective on other aspects of the Second World War. Keep it up -love the podcast.
Audie Murphy, and the cocaine connection

I was looking at Atlantic flute to a private airport called Peachtree DeKalb the story first announced that Audie Murphy died on takeoff and was found with two cases full of cocaine. The story was released then immediately quieted. I was there. I read the article. I saw the accident, but who knows if it’s just an urban legend about the drugs.. Hope not.

HOLY MOSES! I paused the episode to find the LEGO Bismarck video on YouTube and what a piece of work! So glad Al mentioned it! Loved hearing the kids’ reactions to it. Gotta love the giant phone! Keep up the good work, gentlemen!
Great content but frustrating

Fewer interruptions by both would make this pod better. Saying “right” after each sentence doesn’t add much IMO. Also, stick to the topics in your titles
