“It’s not just about the battles. They do a great job putting things in their proper geo-political context which is key to understanding 2nd and 3rd order effects of the war. I love listening to these guys.”

“Also, Dave calm down, they apologise for the bad pronunciation and they do mention the commonwealth a lot, the Anzacs and others, dedicating an entire episode to the contribution of Anzacs in WW1 in Gallipoli, and sure, it’s just one mention, but there is no reason to be so critical of a...”Read full review »

“Great detail and very knowledgeable. But very American focused. Barely even a mention of the Canadian Corps who were probably the best troops by the end of the war. But overall pretty good”

“Canada was part of the war look it up! If your doing a pod cast about something you should do more research because 650 000 Canadians fought it the war right beside everyone else”

“0:45 into Episode 1 and I’m out. What could possibly have suggested to you that *singing* was a good idea? This is the most deadly serious topic imaginable and this is how you start? You certainly set a tone right away and kept me from wasting my time. Amazing.”

“I love history and as a veteran I like hearing the stories of wars fought in the past but it’s hard to follow this podcast because they bounce around to much and don’t stay on topic at all they really should call themselves the Add Historians”

“I have been listening to the podcast with my son. We both enjoy military history. I have read a lot of the major works on the war, but my son is getting his first introduction. I think getting this overview from a couple of experts via podcast is a nice way to start a study. The guys do nice job...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying this show. I just finished one of the first few episodes. The episode about the WWI soldier caught my attention. I was expecting to hear a bit more about The Great Influenza and it’s impact on the soldiers and the war. (Perhaps you cover that in future episodes.) Anyway, I thought...”Read full review »

“Should be required for freshman high school. We cannot understand our present, without knowing our past. The United States we know today is a direct result of WW1. Thank you for your time and efforts. This podcast is a big deal. The understanding of why is most important.”

“I am really loving the fresh look at WW1. No British bias.
However, the Diggers were Australian. Not to sure if that term was used for our Kiwi cousins.
Stand to be corrected though.
Keep up the good work boys”

Unfortunately his co-host Scott can be awkward and his interjections jarring really breaking up the flow of the storytelling with often...”Read full review »

“This is a shocking podcast! It is full of inaccuracies, is distastefully disrespectful and historically awful. It is interspersed with chuckling, giggling while discussing attacks and the way casualties are referred to! Oh let’s attack (then laughter) and it’s going to fail - more laughter. It is...”Read full review »

“Awesome podcast, informative! I can’t get through a whole episode however, when James Early is a guest as he has the most annoying penchant for swallowing, and using his tongue to make phlegmy/nasal sounds that just send this listener over the edge... maybe a noise canceler on your mics could...”Read full review »
