    Fantastico!!
    Great podcast. Love the detailed knowledge that these guys bring to bear. Learnt a lot of new things that I did not know about before, despite extensive reading around the subject, for example the Graze fuse. The hosts do a particularly good job of explaining the development of battlefield technology from year to year. Fellas: let’s have an episode on the naval blockade please. Not much fighting happens but it’s cited by most historians as one of the key reasons for the end of the war in 1918.

  • BenjaminOfSkalitz
    Must hear podcast
    Just an amazing podcast that gives you so much information and insight into WW1. Presented in a very engaging and easy to listen to way by Dan and Spence as well as all of the guest hosts that they’ve had on. Love Dan’s battle guide YouTube episodes as well, go check them out!

    Outstanding Podcast
    This is by the far the best podcast when it comes to WW1. I love listening to Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer on their knowledge of the WW1. For me this podcast mean a lot to me my favorite episode is the battle of the Somme I had four family members that fought in the Great War and one of my family member fought on the battle of Somme and survived the first day of the battle so thank you very much for talking about it truly means a lot to me. Thank you so much doing this podcast and helping me have a better understanding of this conflict and different battles on the western front and learning about the British soldiers and the officers and the events that happen. Once again thank you for doing this. From Sebastian Prout

    Extremely Well Done
    Impressive that two guys with such high level academic credentials can make such a fun and accessible podcast. I highly recommend Not So Quiet on the Western Front to anyone with an interest in WW1, especially if you are a fan of Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon. I have never joined a podcast’s patreon before but I will for this one.

    Top WW1 podcast!
    Best WW1 podcast out there Dan and Spencer are the best in the business. This is not only a deep dive into WW1 but the guys do it in a fun and engaging way! A+
  • Chefhez
    Excellent WW1 podcast!
    A very informative WW1 podcast. I would love to see them tackle the Easter Front and if it’s not asking too much the Middle East and Africa! Keep up the good work!

    History the way it should be told
    Ran across this podcast through YouTube. I’m so tired of sensationalized history that are full of opinion and speculation. These two are great storytellers that are highly educated and thorough. Such a great show I’ve listened to most of the show. Thanks for your Doughboy section. My Great-Grand Father was there. I met him once before he died about 40 years ago when I was about 8. He was 1 of 2 that survived on his platoon. I forget what he was awarded being as according to him he lied about his name and age to join but in the nursing home I recall reading the citation. He’d never spoken about it to his family until just before his death. None of them knew anything other than that he was a veteran

    Best Podcast on WWI
    I got to know Spencer when he taught a class here in Georgetown Tx. Then I started to listen to his and Dan’s podcast and I have learned a great deal. They are both very articulate, well informed and perhaps more importantly very easy to listen to. I teach classes on military history and military innovations and have really learned a lot from their presentations. Strongly recommend anyone with an interest in WWI or for that matter military history should put this podcast on their to hear list. Spencer and Dan keep up the great work

    Best podcast on the platform
    Been following the podcast since y’all started, found it through the awesome youtube channel. Perfect thing to put on while I do yard work or walking the dogs, I hope anybody who gives it a listen will thoroughly enjoy it as much as I have! Props to the hosts Dan and Spence for such consistently great content, much love from San Antonio!

    Not all Quiet on the Western Front, for sure!
    Recently discovered this podcast in my constant search for interesting history pods. Hit the jackpot with this one as the two hosts are pleasant to listen to and are covering some unique topics one of which was all about tunneling and mine warfare. Fascinating and I learned many formerly unknown aspects and special language such as “pit sense”, “clay kicking”, and many others. If you want to learn more about WWI on the western front, this is a show to add to your list.

    Fascinating, enoyable-to-listen to World War One History
    I have listened this podcast series since the beginning and can highly recommend it. The hosts are highly knowledgeable and pass on their excellent information in an easy, often humorous manner. The show seems to have a British emphasis given the background of the hosts, but, as an American, I have not found anything lacking. I like how to the hosts go into such great detail during the episodes. Indeed, the quality of podcast has led me to support it on Patreon. The podcast has greatly increased my knowledge of the First World War, the effects of which we are still living with today. It would be great if they could do a few episodes on aspects of the war at sea and fighting in the Middle East.

  • MonsterMileKyle
    Awesome Podcast
    This show is absolutely fantastic. It’s exactly the type of WWI content I’ve been looking for.
  • AnthonySCorona
    Absolutely fantastic!
    I’m a little late to the party but this podcast is so well done. Great information but not just the typical talk of battles of more deep dives into smaller but incredibly important topics. The zeppelin episode has been my favorite because I learned so much. Dan and Spencer give “it’s complicated” information in a way that’s easy to understand. Appreciate this show!
  • Everything’s Jake
    Best podcast for WWI history.
    Learn from entertaining and knowledgeable WWI history experts! They present this horrendous time in world history in a very approachable and compelling style. I look forward to each episode.

    Great work, entertaining WW1 history
    Great content, love the videos on Battleguide as well - check out their site and YouTube videos. Fans of history and even newcomers will appreciate the factual but entertaining podcasts.
  • AJM@Maine
    Best podcast of the Great War
    Dan and Spencer are presenting the Great War in an unbelievable format. Not since Dan Carlin has there been a podcast on this subject that I think has beef incredibly well researched and presented. My grandfather served in the CEF and fought in the 100 days. I had the extraordinary experience of walking these three battle fields with Mark Bannon this last year. I have researched the CEF as I write a historical novel on the immigrants to Canada who joined the call to serve. So, in hearing the early podcast bringing the high level attention to the efforts of the BEF in their great battles, I was struck by the incredible authenticity that Spencer and Dan bring to the subject. I wait each week with great anticipation to find the next chapter in this incredible series. These boys “are in the pink”. Well done!!!
  • DerrickusMaximus
    Solid podcast!
    Really enjoying it- there’s plenty of great info & discussion for the WWI military history enthusiast, but it doesn’t get bogged down with “insider baseball”- someone new to the study of the Great War will definitely get a lot out of this.
  • rchinnis
    Worthy Addition
    Enjoyed this podcast right out of the gate. A terrific addition to a number of quality series on WW I. Worthy of your attention.
