Solid podcast that goes in depth. I'm enjoying the story of the Somme and have learned a lot. This podcast is a great place to start if you want to find out more about WWI.

Description

The Battles of the First World War Podcast goes in-depth into the battles of the Great War of 1914-1918. The goal is to really go into the details of how and why these battles unfolded and happened as they did. In telling the narrative of these clashes we can revisit some of the stories of the men and women who lived, fought, and died during the first titanic struggle of the 20th Century, for these people have stories that deserve to be told.
