“The color commentary on leaders, strategy and details of specific battles/campaigns is superb. The uneven personality of Halsey, troubled fighter aces fighting for supremacy on all levels is fascinating. The list goes on and I’m hooked!
How about a summary of British/Commonwealth naval support...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. As a Pacific War history junkie, this show gives me all the details of so many things o knew about, but had no idea how much detailed information was available. If you love WWII history, especially the Pacific War, you should love this show as much as I do.”

“I’ve started out with the Race of Aces 2 episodes which were great, and John Bruning’s book Race of Aces is fantastic so it was great to hear him speak about the book and the history. From there I started at Episode 1 and while I have studied WWII for 45 years, there is still always more to...”Read full review »

“Coming from a history nerd this show is very easy to listen to and follow. They take the overall campaigns in the pacific war and break them all the way down to, in some cases to individual stories from Sailors, Soldiers and Marines. They explain how and why decisions were made and their...”Read full review »

“Hands down the best military podcast out there. The hosts and guests are of the highest caliber. I’ve read 40+ books on the PTO and thought I had a good idea of the events. But I learn something new every episode. Bravo gentleman!”

“As an active duty Naval Officer, I love the show and I have listened to every episode while doing a model or on the way to work. My one critique is if you could chop episodes from 2 plus hours to 25-35 minutes which can be digested. Same content but adding breaks would allow commuters to listen...”Read full review »

“As a WWII naval history buff this podcast fills in so much of the grey area for me between the naval battles, both on land and in the air and adds some details from behind the scenes. I held back on full 5 stars as some of the more technical details of the naval units involved sometimes have...”Read full review »

Okay, I’m going to give it 5 stars because they work hard, they’re earnest, and it’s not easy for regular Joes to go up against some big money productions. However, there’s a few criticisms to keep in mind as you listen. I’m not sure what they mean by...”Read full review »

“It’s great and the subject knowledge is awesome. But the amount of times Seth says “literally” in every episode is about 85 and I find it distracting. It’s a throw-away word and one that chicks overuse and often inappropriately. You could make a
drinking game out of it and you’d be stumbling at...”Read full review »
