“Such an interesting array of guests that mixes up personal experiences with scholarly analysis… would recommend to anyone wanting to keep up to date with what’s going on with the war.
Presenters talk very well in a good mixture of relaxed and serious style”

“This podcast is excellent and full of clever boffins - I’m so glad to discover it. Episode 51 on the Georgian Foreign Legion and armoured donation pickup trucks from the UK blew my mind. Love the deep historical context - so much to learn.”

“This is a great show and I have not missed an episode since I discovered it 6 months ago. Well researched, very thoughtful and particularly interesting production.
Time well spent listening to this podcast, in my opinion.”

“Absolutely love the podcast, other than the theme music that sounds like all the cliché war sounds from movies past. Keep up the great work fellas. Don’t worry about my criticism. You do you. My opinion is just that. Take care.”

“One slight correction to the characterization by the two brilliant hosts regarding America’s “best intentions” in foreign wars, but getting it done right in both WWI and WWII. We also won The Cold War. Vietnam and Korea were but two battles within that Cold War. With respect to Iraq, we won that...”Read full review »

“Not a remotely reliable source of accurate information on the Russo-Ukrainian war. The hosts cringe at even the mention of opposing views on the war or realities on the battlefield that might favor Russia. It’s the mainstream news narrative converted into podcast form. It’s unfortunate because...”Read full review »

“A very interesting podcast on the Ukraine war. A lot more insight and content than is often the case. Some good discussion and interviews. Not quite sure about the laughing style of one of the hosts given the gravity of the content, but you kinda get used to it.”

“Excellent podcasts particularly this first mid week one. Shows how most of us do not understand Russian and it’s people. But I think this lack of understanding goes both ways. By Putin threatening us (the civilised democracies) he is having the opposite effect of what he wants, we will not...”Read full review »

“If you can get past the cattiness and the oddly inappropriate and incessant chortling, not bad. This is a decent supplemental source of chit chat and low-mid level insight.
For those that are consuming a lot of information about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, The Telegraph’s ‘Ukraine: The...”Read full review »

“The host is showing his left leaning politics. He bashes America’s right without understanding US politics at all and goes on to lionize Biden as some political god. Please stick to British politics and don’t delve into political systems you don’t understand and have no education in. In fact we...”Read full review »

Also wonder if either host read the...”Read full review »

“If you’re still Shilling for Ukraine at this point you’re willfully ignorant. We staged the 2014 coup, and we’d never let Russia back a coup like that in Ottawa.

“I really enjoyed the Falklands series but I was sceptical about the team being able to do an equally good job about a contemporary war - after all they don’t call it the fog of war for nothing. I’m afraid my concerns were justified. By the time we got to a Russian “expert” who thinks Putin was...”Read full review »

“The Falkland stuff was really great. Don‘t think it works as good with the actual war. The podcast is often outdated = irrelevant at the time of publication. Do something about the Boers war, e.g.”

“I have been a military intelligence analyst for over 30 years. The balanced analysis when assessing the military situation is of a very high standard. For me, this podcast coupled with the Defence Intelligence bulletins covers many of the bases. Great work guys.”
