The WW2 Podcast

It was the best

I like this pod a lot. The format is simple; usually there’s a new book and the author is, basically, pushing it. But they are mostly interesting and sometimes I get the book and read it. Or look for it at the library. I really liked the episode about Budapest last year. That one turned out to be a really good read. There will be always be more books about the war being written so Angus will always have guests for his show.

I felt that the Battle of Leyte Gulf episode was rather weak. despite the guest podcast, having recently written a book on Leyte Gulf, the story of this epic We2 naval engagement was told is a somewhat disjointed fashion and did not capture important aspects of the battle.

Great series I’ve been enjoying for years.Angus is very knowledgeable.

My father was a captain at 21 in the 80th infantry. After the third time wounded in combat, then repaired, he was transferred to Paris to become the head MP! Age 21? Wow! I’m sure I have brothers and sisters all over the world.
