Gage EntlemanMuch more than just battlesThis is a comprehensive overview of the war PLUS the key battles. It’s an easy-to-follow and very enjoyable listen with two likable hosts.

luckypastduehamsterExcellent!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.

PatriautismGreat Addition to My Book ClubI’ve got a WW1 book club and this is fantastic extra piece of the education. Nice, succinct lessons with just the right amount of humor. Hosts have a nice chemistry.

pinverarityWow — Hideous Opening0:45 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.

$$$ethLinks to videos and booksBeen listening to the podcast and want to learn more. Where are the links for these videos, books, and movies you talk about in the podcasts? Love the show.

Familyman0484ADD historianI 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

Hofnar INice Overview of the WarI 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 of including references they recommend from youtube, books, movies, and other podcasts. They also include plenty of factoids to make it interesting. Last but not least, their passion for the subject really comes through. Enjoy!

iowa 2029Great PodcastThis awesome podcast penetrated my ear holes and it was very educational. I listened to it at work and it was very well done by both hosts. Thank you for the info and looking forward to listening to more of your work.
-
EJ16Great WW1 podcastMy only complaint is that my wife is tired of me singing “over there.” James and Scott do a great job of sharing info that is entertaining and informative.

CMaxappGreat presentation of so much history!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 you and some of your listeners might enjoy reading a book by John M. Barry, The Great Influenza. I had never realized how the war efforts and the 1917/1918 outbreak of this influenza, so impacted one another. Reading Barry’s book sent me wanting to lean more about WWI, and in turn I began listening to this podcast. Thank you for a great program!

Airborne Spoon 82ndStop Swallowing!!I literally just started listening to your podcast and the content is excellent BUT sweet be Jesus, stop swallowing so loud! So distracting, it’s like you’re struggling to speak. Very good show.
-
MeghhchjjnStop!Stop with the drinking game ideas. It’s fine once or twice but it gets old fast. Love the show!

RolandoneillOutstandingShould 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.
-
cheddarman101Loved itOutstanding podcast. Very informative and articulate
-
sssqueezeReally enjoyed it. Thank you.I loved the music in the intro. Wished more historical audio clips were added to these type of podcasts.
-
Gunther RouhausGenerally goodOverall an informative podcast led by the folksy story teller James Early who teaches at the junior college level so expect that level of analysis of history. Unfortunately his co-host Scott can be awkward and his interjections jarring really breaking up the flow of the storytelling with often off subject quotes and factoids. So if you want your history light and not too taxing, this is the show for you.
-
yourfamilyisnextLove thisWould love to hear a ww2 podcast. I generally font like history podcast but these guys make it worth it
-

MA4YJ2NE0:)Please do Key Battled of WW2Huge fan of the key battles series, I know you guys could knock out a ww2 series although it would be lengthy they are always the best! Please & thanks you both so such a great job at presenting!
-
MilelsiahAwesome Look Back at HistoryI have listened to all of their Key Battles podcasts and WWI doesn’t disappoint. There are a lot of details that I never learned in school. Getting to learn all aspects that lead to the war was fantastic.
-
ShawnceeKey battles of WWII absolutely loved this. I have been looking for something that explains WWI and this was perfect. Thank you both.
-

u28b274I’m a fan!I greatly enjoy listening to these two fine gentlemen regardless of what era of history they are teaching. Thank you both!
-
BankoBurgersGreat duo /annoying mouth sounds and gulpsGreat podcast with two very knowledgeable historians! They both seem to tell the story well, along with supplemental humor. I generally really enjoy listening to guys. But....the gulps, smacks and other weird mouth sounds is a foul. It’s just one of them who does it.
-
SF Loves PBSAwesome! ... but...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 prevent, or minimize this?
