Kings and Generals Podcast
A podcast network featuring distinct, long-form narrative series on specific military conflicts, from WWII's Eastern Front to ancient Chinese wars.
This is an anthology podcast feed, not a single show. It bundles several deeply-researched, solo-narrated historical series under one umbrella. Each series, like "The Fall and Rise of China" or "The Eastern Front Week by Week," functions as its own standalone, long-running podcast, meticulously detailing military history in a chronological format. The feed also includes co-hosted discussions on topics ranging from military theory to sci-fi treated as historical case studies.
“Its multi-show-in-one-feed structure is its key differentiator. Unlike typical history podcasts that cover varied topics, Kings and Generals offers specialized, long-form series, allowing a listener to follow, for example, the Eastern Front of WWII on a week-by-week basis for years.”
Who hosts this show
