So back in winter when I was working as a custodian on campus early in the morning, I needed something to entertain me while pushing a wheeled trash can through the empty halls of the fletcher building. I listened to music. Then I got bored. I tried audio books, and I liked them, but I only wanted to listen to those I could get for free (I spent many hours listening to Jane Austin). I wanted something more entertaining. Something that would make the hours seem like minutes. Then I found A History of World War II Podcast by Ray Harris Jr.
I was instantly immersed in the lives and events that surrounded World War II, beginning from the end of World War I up to the war itself. I got to hear the life stories of Hitler and Mussolini, and the complex political struggles their nations experienced in the 20's and 30's. I learned about the rise of Imperial Japan, and detailed accounts of the Chinese Nationalist and Communist conflicts. The cunning games that Hitler played in order to take over several nations before resorting to military action, and his success with Blitzkrieg is covered in absolute detail. Ray is great to listen too; he's neither dull nor boring, and keeps the podcast interesting and entertaining.
To date he has podcast almost 18 hours worth of material, and the majority of the war is still to be covered. If you are looking for good, detailed, and interesting history about World War ll, check out A History of World War II Podcast on iTunes and visit AHistroyofWorldWarIIPodcast.net
