This show provides some of these podcasts I’ve heard regarding seminal moments in American and World history. This past series on the Guadalcanal campaign was masterclass.

Thorough, interesting, well researched and presented topics. Each podcast imparts knowledge that in a way that makes the listener want to keep on listening. I wish my history classes were all like this. Continue to March.

Presents meaningful, important material in an interesting and entertaining format. It is a survey level approach which gives good overview and allows a listener to choose areas to pursue in greater detail as suits their taste. Production quality is good and topics plentiful.

This has become my favorite podcast. Thank you.

The host and his guests do a really good job of providing a fair and balanced expose on the topic of the day. It is also useful as an educational tool for my younger children, who lost the direct connection with those who fought in WW2.

James is prolific and does a great job in presenting these programs. Even his recent podcast on Sioux Indians was well done. Yes, the Indians being nomads had no chance against the Euro settlers. However, breaking our treaties with them (the Cherokees for example) proved what a lowlife politician...Read full review »

What happened??? Self serving “humor” from Early. Surprisingly Scott puts up with the slow death of this podcast. Used to be informative. Brutal. What are you…Siskel and Ebert?

I skip episodes I am not interested in but really enjoy vast majority of the episodes, topics and guests. I’ve been rewatching Band of Brothers along with the episode reviews and enjoy the additional information about the people and events. Highly recommend!

WW2 movie reviews have been great. Suggestion? Winds of War miniseries is a bit soapy for sure, but great WW2 epic. I think it was the highest rated TV miniseries of all time.

Enjoy it on my commute. James and Sean are a great combo.

I have listened to many podcasts. Many are good. Your podcast is good, easy to listen to and informative. Sometimes your jokes are a little bit dumb, but you’re so much fun that I keep on listening and will as long as you’re doing it. Thank you.

Just finished the last regular episode of the Key Battles of WW2 series. Another great series, appreciate every episode. Keep up the great work.

Took them all of 11 minutes to say the stupidest thing you can say when talking about movies: “the book was better than the movie”. Pretty much foreshadows that they don’t understand the medium. And it wasn’t a one off, the entire first episode has him saying it. But even more disappointing was...Read full review »

James has an amazing ability to describe a 10 second concept in two minutes.

Sort of disturbing hand gun advertisements suggesting civil unrest. Very odd and off-putting.

Love the podcast every week. But I was a little disappointed that you did not address the invention of the shipping pallet. This humble technology enabled efficient supply of the Pacific theater. I have heard the opinion that the Navy could not have been adequately supplied without this...Read full review »

Listened to the 12 O’Clock High episode. I was definitely excited to hear commentary on this exceptional movie. The duo narrating ought to use a script for starters, dangling sentences, errors of fact, interplay btwn the two narrators thinking they were humorous, the list is endless. Final rating...Read full review »

When your review for a movie about D-Day is longer than your entire episode about D-Day, then you’ve got a problem. Still enjoying the podcast and learning lots, but you could go more in-depth if we didn’t have all these episodes about movies
Jackalope87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/23
Found by accident but stuck around on purpose. James is doing an incredible job tell our history in just the right way, bite sized to stick. I’ve listened to his Revolution, 1812, Civil War, WW1, and Battles of the Pacific and they’re all wonderful. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to many...Read full review »

I love this podcast! James is so good at relaying history in a fun and interesting way :) I also love when he brings guests onto his show to help explain further historical events. I also personally love the movie review segment! I’m an imperial war history buff so any new movies or shows I...Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast every time a new episode drops. There is a lot of good information delivered in a cool conversational way. Funny and informative. I love the relevant movie reviews sprinkled in between the history episodes. Give this podcast a listen!

Shh I love the way I can see the way you do it all in a fun game but it doesn’t get any more fun and then the next

The podcasts are great. Stop with the movie reviews. Your history podcasts are at the top of my list every time I see a new one. Movie reviews just get marked as played and I have to wait until the next history one comes out.
TwinsRobloxMusica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
The constant chuckles are as annoying as people using “like” in every breath. This is an outstanding podcast though for history buffs though. Keep up the good work!

I stumbled upon this podcast by recommendations from another podcast to another podcast etc. Essentially the method that I’ve followed since COVID upped my podcast breaks. Really enjoyed the War of 1812 series and had already decided to make this one of regular podcasts, when I am treated to an...Read full review »

A very general description of the pacific theater. The constant focus on the Marine Corp and only a cursory look at the US army contributions is bizarre. The Army had 21 divisions in the pacific theater whereas the Marine Corp had only 6. To only give a passing reference to the battle to retake...Read full review »

If you are a history buff like me this show is for you. These short episodes are perfect for getting a ten thousand foot view of wars and other historical events. Thanks for making this show James!!!

I can listen to James Early talk history forever and never grow bored. He does a phenomenal job on his work and everyone interested in military history needs to check this one out.

Well researched and well presented, great podcast.

Great podcast, loved the war of 1812-Mexican American war and am looking forward to Key battles of the European Theater. (And also am very glad that the movies are beside and not in place of the main episodes) (:

Just the right amount of detail and energy. One of my favorite historical podcasts out there.

James Early is great at describing battles. These casts are the right length and the right amount of information nad James is good. I like this series - I also say I like him when he's on History Unplugged.Read full review »

I’m working my way through it now. The hosts do a great job teaching this newbie to the important stories. It starts with the key battles but takes some time to color the fights with entire episodes on what life as a soldier was and information on important innovations in boats and planes.
David_Dawson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/23
I’ve been following James’ podcasts for a few years now and even go back and enjoy them a second or third time. The research and history telling is excellent.
Mark Salmon via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/22/23
I love history, but have never much understood military history or strategy. This podcast has been so informative for me - now I know so much more about these battles and their significance than I ever did before. James and Scott explain everything clearly, so that even I can understand it and...Read full review »

Hey guys, new to the show. Love it so far, but the audio is a bit rough. Something with the microphone? Idk. That’s my only complaint
