I really appreciate the variety of programs and viewpoints you included. My father was a WWII veteran and my mother worked in a factory during the war. I feel like I know a little more about my parents and others that lived through the war. They really are the greatest generation. I've recommended this podcast to my children. You've created a great resource for people to enjoy for years to come.

I'm new to Adam's podcasts, but not to WWII-era radio. This mixture of news and entertainment programming, presented generally in historical sequence, is not to be missed. I can't believe he can keep up the one-podcast-per-day rate, but hope it works.

Adam does a great job on all of his podcasts and The War is no different. What an interesting view of pre-war isolationism in America. Really a different perspective of America is shown on the radio programs of the pre and early war era. Thanks Adam for this great series of Podcasts.
