World War 2 LIVE

McManus provides some interesting commentary but overall it's pretty shallow coverage. Hymel is irritating with his glib and sarcastic comments and constant interruptions. The back and forth happy talk is so inappropriate. WW2 was a worldwide catastophe in which millions were slaughtered. This does not make it fodder for half-baked comedy.

Excellent podcast! I like the format. I’ve come to “know” John C McManus via the We Have Ways and the Unauthorized History of the Pacific War podcasts (both highly recommended).

Mark is the silent weapon of this podcast. Much more than a producer. Keep up the good work and please keep these coming. These stories, history and perspectives need to be told! God Bless.
