EP38 – Easy Company: Separating Myth from Reality…Again
Send us a textIt happens more often than most fans of Band of Brothers would like. YouTube channels and podcasts pop up with poorly contextualized, subpar content designed as clickbait. It’s frustrating for both real historians and genuine fans of the book and miniseries. In this episode, Joe works through a number of sensationalized Easy Company-related topics in order to separate the wheat from the chaff, and bring the truth about Band of Brothers’ topics that seem to attract these less-than-stellar content creators like moths to a flame.

EP37 – Trip Report: The Museum of the Mighty 8th Air Force & The UDT/Navy SEAL Museum
Send us a textI was able to bookend visits to the Museum of the Mighty 8th and the UDT/Navy SEAL Museum during a recent vacation. I had previously visited the Mighty 8th, but had never done so with the the SEAL Museum. Both are high quality with wonderful displays related to World War II. Masters of the Air has kickstarted the popularity and pending expansion of the Mighty 8th, and the Naval Combat Demolition Units of WWII have their genesis at Fort Pierce where the museum is located. Stop by for a listen (or watch) as I deliver my trip report. Thanks!

Send us a textEpisode 36 of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast drops today! A lot of time is given to D-Day…in the press, on TV shows, on pods…you name it. But far less time is spent examining what happened during the run up to that momentous day. Join Joe as he discusses the accounts of numerous Allied veterans…those of the UK and Canada, and the US, to include the 1st, 4th, and 29th Divisons, along with the 82nd and 101st Airborne. He’ll share their experiences, told in their own words, about how they felt and what they did to prepare themselves for the “Day of Days.” If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast, check us out here: https://patreon.com/WereNotLostPrivatePodcastYou can check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WereNotLostPrivatePodcastIf you like the pod, please hit like, subscribe and share!You can listen to us on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and a host of other podcatchers.Support the show
