“Interesting that you recently put up this interview. I’ve been hoping for a while that you’d do something with Cav/Tankers. I was young when Desert Storm kicked off but I love hearing these stories and learning the history. Another amazing episode and interview. Always looking forward to the next...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, but when the story teller is in a basement somewhere else, it’s very difficult to understand them! Especially when they are smoking cigars and coughing and constantly clearing their throat!”

“It’s a cool podcast but, I wanna listen to COMBAT STORIES, not there whole life story. I’m here for the action. I hate having to fast forward through 4-60% of the show before I actually hear something good. That’s just me though.”

“This podcast is truly great in terms of the catalog of guests and the way the host allows them to tell their story. If the audio was better and more clear this podcast would be a 10/10 in my opinion. In a lot of the episodes the audio quality is quite poor. I will keep listening nonetheless though.”
