“If you’re passionate about WWII history this podcast is a gem. The bonus is Ray Harris’ own personality - he’s a mensch. Aside from chronological coverage of the war, I always look forward to his interviews with authors who continue to reveal more facets of what led us to and through our great...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy each episode. Great work. When the guest is speaking maybe stop with the, “uh-huh, mmm…, okay, right”
Just let them talk.”

“Mr. Harris Jr.’s The History of WWII Podcast is an extremely well researched look into the nooks and crannies of a well known conflict. I appreciate the years of hard work and the massive catalog available for listeners. Five stars.
NOTE FOR RAY’s EYES ONLY:
If Mr. Harris Jr. wanted to put in...”Read full review »

“Enjoying the fruits of your labor Ray. Never in the field of podcasting has so much been owed to a single man in recounting WW2 history. Unfortunately, I've fallen behind and have had trouble with episode 190. Currently, it is actually episode 191. Any help would be greatly appreciated.”Read full review »

“Very detailed, gnitty gritty look into WW2. For those who want a deep dive.
My only complaints are the 10+ episodes on Churchill, probably one of the most overrated political figures in history, who didn’t really do much besides talk (an orchestrate a famine in India then laugh it off). So...”Read full review »

“This host is clearly sincere, well-informed and prepared.
But in most shows he simply reads his lecture and tends to slip into a carelessly sing songy narrative cadence.
Otherwise this is pretty solid and documented.”

“I love the way Ray goes into details about obscure theaters of the war that I am only vaguely familiar with. The only downside is because of the audio format, sometimes it’s hard to follow the level of detail, such as which infantry brigade is in which city as described in the narrative. But well...”Read full review »

“I would also like to point out that while listening to this podcast; which is very interesting; hitler was one of the demons who possessed a girl in Germany named anneliese michel. The movie that referenced this girl is called the exorcism of emily rose. All recording of the real girl are on youtube”

“A quick summary of WWII, without a lot of insight beyond the well known stories and stereotypes. Even where the podcast goes into more detail, the narrative tells you more about the host’s preconceptions and biases than about the history.”

“Good podcast. Ray developed a sort of breathless, overwrought and “eyebrow raised” reading style over time that overshadows and upstages the stories and people I know he cares about and reveres. I hope over time he can return to a more direct, less flamboyant reading style.”

“Ray Harris Jr. has a great voice and consistent uploads with no bad episodes. The ads are put in the beginning and end of episodes and not in the middle of the episode. Keep going Ray, you can do the whole of the war at this pace!”
