Customer Reviews
Best Podcast on WWI
I got to know Spencer when he taught a class here in Georgetown Tx. Then I started to listen to his and Dan’s podcast and I have learned a great deal. They are both very articulate, well informed and perhaps more importantly very easy to listen to. I teach classes on military history and military innovations and have really learned a lot from their presentations.
Strongly recommend anyone with an interest in WWI or for that matter military history should put this podcast on their to hear list.
Spencer and Dan keep up the great work
Best podcast on the platform
Been following the podcast since y’all started, found it through the awesome youtube channel. Perfect thing to put on while I do yard work or walking the dogs, I hope anybody who gives it a listen will thoroughly enjoy it as much as I have! Props to the hosts Dan and Spence for such consistently great content, much love from San Antonio!
Not all Quiet on the Western Front, for sure!
Recently discovered this podcast in my constant search for interesting history pods. Hit the jackpot with this one as the two hosts are pleasant to listen to and are covering some unique topics one of which was all about tunneling and mine warfare. Fascinating and I learned many formerly unknown aspects and special language such as “pit sense”, “clay kicking”, and many others. If you want to learn more about WWI on the western front, this is a show to add to your list.
