Great!

Not all episodes are great but there’s many that really stand out.

“Brave Men”, originally released about six days after he was killed, featured Ernie Pyle’s last book, was/is probably the best episode.

Great stuff here for Anglophiles!

Not sure where he finds this stuff but it’s superb!

Good stuff

Nice that at one time radio was made to go over important topics and inform the public... the easily digested "dialogue" I've come across with the ones I've listened to here are very good- and many of the topics are still important today.
