These old recordings and broadcasts are a gold mind. So rich, so powerful. Please, please, please, this podcast/show needs to continue and post more content.

Unique Perspective

I came across this unexpected gem while searching for new history podcasts. This podcast not only details the events surrounding World War 2 through historical news clips, it also explores how those events helped shape broadcast journalism (with focus on the BBC) into what it is today. The clips are interspersed with commentary by Jonathan Dimbleby. It's a fascinating and unique perspective. Only 5 episodes in, and I'm hooked.
