Very wonderful podcast

I found this podcast as I am looking to understand the First World War. Matt does such a great job of not only talking about the facts of the many (large and small) battles, but also bringing to light the people who fought there. I hope you find it as informative and respectful as I do. Well done Mr Dixon and thank you!

Excellent Podcast on the Great War

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast by Matt Dixon. Matt is passionate about the topic and I’ve learned so much from him. He has the ability to really connect with his listeners and his topic selections are creative and thought provoking. Listen to this podcast if you are the least bit interested in the Great War.

Podcast

Love this guy! Fantastic info and remarkable stories. The interview with Mike Cunha was especially good. Matt is a great interviewer. He asks questions and then sits back and lets his guest talk.
