This is a great day by day review of WW2. Currently having problems with listening as I get messages that the episodes are temporarily unavailable.

Great until Churchill obsession

Entertaining, in-depth and monotone enough where I could listen while working, but the obsession with Churchill(‘s earlier endeavors) killed the desire to listen to this poorly produced (at least up to the Churchill stretch) podcast. The detail is great, the breath is admirable, but the distractions from WORLD WAR TWO MATERIAL is rather annoying. *probably spoilt from History of Rome, unaware of privilege and ignorance of the topic, which likely lead to this poorly constructed review* **~ Did you give credit to Robert Wallace after your lackluster rewriting of the old Time-Life WW2 series? I enjoy your replay of others work, you should just give them credit.

Truly an amazing person for putting this together. Start at episode 1 that is his original story of the war. Brilliant!
