If you don’t know much about WWI, I highly recommend the podcast “NOT SO QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT” with Spencer Jones It’s decidedly Britcentric. But it’s thorough and fascinating.

I thoroughly enjoyed discussing all aspects of the Second Boer War on TheIrishHistoryShow this week! Check it out below 👇🏻
