Bit of a Bore Now
Over the years this pod has devolved from sincere history into a promotional vehicle for Holland and Murray's careers. It can be quite good, but all too often it's just Al and Jim yukking it up and shilling for themselves. The occasional political commentary betrays an elitist bias (Murray is a direct descendent of William Makepeace Thackeray, after all), as well as a frankly bigoted and shockingly simplistic view of American culture and current affairs. Still, the pod's stature does attract big-name guests. Listen, but be aware that the hosts are mighty pleased with themselves -- and they might consider your views beneath their enlightened intellect.Read full review »

Holland and Murray are phenomenal! Their bit of banter makes this military history flavored podcast absolutely entertaining. If you grew up thinking history was boring, give this a lesson- they’ll set you straight!

Two historians who chat knowledgeably about their topics, but with a real desire to share their expertise and not afraid to discuss their inner geek and see the lighter side, of a very serious period of our history. Looking forward to learning more
