Just mentioned the book Shattered Sword. Isn't that the one written by a poster? Drawing a blank on his name.

Is this the final episode for the series? I was waiting to to listen to them all.

The one he did on WW1, talking about the mud still haunts me.

His thoughts on the Doolittle raid are interesting to me. Had never considered it that way.

Just finished it. Now the long wait for number 5. Was really good. Won't get into it much but to say that his analogy with pro wrestling makes me smile

I've got about an hour or so to go, only listen to it while I'm driving to and from work. I think it's pretty good. I've liked all of his Podcasts. Hate to have to wait a year for the next one

Can you give a quick synopsis?

He was discussing the payoff vs the risk. I have always viewed from the "Hell yeah let's bomb those effers!" angle. Had never considered exactly the stakes that were there if the ships were discovered and action was taken against them. Really drove home the magnitude of the raid from that perspective for me.

How can he not pronounce Moresby correctly?! I've never heard of Port "Moesby"...

Unless I'm missing something, but I've been studying the Pacific War for dang near 40 years.

Yes that bothered me. I also prefer the Filipino pronunciation of Bataan and Corregidor.

So into the second episode of "Ghosts of the Ostfront" and really like it. Worth the $5.99.

This is addressed in the first 5 minutes of the new episode.

It made me laugh when he was talking about jungle fighters and countries ranked as jungle fighters. He quoted a veteran saying that the Australians quickly became the best jungle fighters and the Japanese were a close second. Asked about the Americans he said it wasn't a fair comparison because they (Americans) had a tendency to level the jungle and fight in what was left.

Just finished. Really good. I still think countdown to Armegeddon is head and shoulders better but this is really really good.

I had never thought of the frustration the Japanese would have with the island hopping approach. Genius and demoralizing. He quoted a Japanese veteran saying we hated the Americans. They attacked us like water, flowing into our weaknesses and destroying us from there.

Found that interesting as well.

The part about new guinea natives separating dead Japanese bodies from skulls with a forked tree and twisting the body until the head pops off was unexpected.

That was surprising. But it puts in focus how hated they were.
