“In love with this show! Content is great and although, it’s a podcast the host had a neat way of presenting the information. He tells the story like he is the one there and witnessing it. It really, for me, lets my mind wander and create the imagery rather than just “hear” the story. Phenomenal...”Read full review »

“I watch Wartime Stories on YouTube so it’s great to have just a pure audio format of it as the imagery can creep me out lol.
I will also say that I’m very skeptical of a lot of the subject matter talked about on the show, but I just love a good story and this show delivers.”

“Great show!! Thanks Marine. I was an electrician and was with Alpha co 1st CEB attached from UT platoon back in 05’. We went to Ramadi Iraq. No cool stories like these, just normal war stories. Keep’em coming. I like to listen in the pitch black sitting with my dog.
Thanks again

“I’ve listened to every single Mr. Ballen story on his YouTube channel. I was excited to hear about “Wartime Stories.” I listened to one at random… and at the end I’m like, “That’s it? So they saw a shadow move and that’s the entire story?” I listened to another on and it was, “A creepy sound...”Read full review »

“I find these stories really arresting for several reasons. First of all, what a voice for radio/poscast or any kind of speaking/narrating, Luke Lamano has! Also, the acting is solid as well. The research and writing that Lamano and his team do is top notch. These stories are from former military...”Read full review »

“The tone is very flat. It’s difficult to understand what is going on except by the words. His voice doesn’t express the mood or intensity. He has a nice radio voice. Like a commercial voice. Its a very strong clear voice. I will keep listening though for a while”
