The Belgrano Diary

Beautifully done; a great listen!

I’ve always been a fan of O’Hagan and this is an exceptional piece of work that utilizes the power of the podcast medium to bring the past to life.

Terrific podcast. Had me hooked from start to finish. I’m not a citizen of either side of this war but the issues of governmental deceit, acts of conscience, and the horror of war are universal. Thank you, LRB.

As a trained historian and longtime US/European 20th century history professor, I was a bit skeptical when I first learned about this podcast. Nonetheless, I started listening and was hooked. Every episode is well done, all the research is solid and the interviews are both thoughtful and revealing. The last two episodes are so important in that they remind us of the human costs of war and of speaking truth to power. Bravo!

An outstanding documentary, presented clearly and with the highest quality production values. The presenter has an easy to understand speaking style, and paces himself perfectly for the listener to understand the material. The topic is accentuated by well-produced and chosen sound effects and background music. “This American Life” style presentation meets historical nonfiction, in the best possible way.
