Congratulations Mark on reaching your century. This podcast is an impressive work of erudition and a pleasure to listen to. I particularly enjoyed this episode introducing as it did a lesser known theatre of the Great War. All the best for Christmas and the New Year Mark. And long may History of the Twentieth Century continue.
Mark,
I just listened to this 100th episode. Although I realize you posted this episode seven-plus years ago, I still want to express my gratitude for your efforts. The podcast is great! Whenever I start to listen to an episode, I cannot stop listening. They are so compelling!
I see that you have surpassed four hundred episodes. So, I have many hours of listening pleasure. You are doing a wonderful deed for the world. Thank you!
Best regards,
Spencer
