Battleground - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I look forward to each episode, whether it be WWII, Ukraine, or Gaza because I know I will be informed and challenged. I don’t always agree with every take on current affairs but I can be sure their reasoning is fair and grounded in facts. The WWII series has been fascinating especially on topics this American knew little about: General Slim, the Japanese attempt to invade India, etc. I hope the podcast will go on and on.

Terrific podcast. Insightful analysis, often interesting guests- have learned more about the war than from all other sources combined. I listen to each one as soon as it shows up.

Long time listener of the Ukraine episodes - great content. I never listen to the midweek WWII episodes, there are much more engaging WWII shows out there. I would rather the midweek show give an update on the Middle East conflicts, Israel, Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, proxy’s etc - there is so much to cover there even if it’s not a “traditional war” like Ukraine/Russia. Great job, this pod keeps me informed

Love this pod. The hosts are great. They talk to a lot of people who were there when the whole event was happening.

Not a remotely reliable source of accurate information on the Russo-Ukrainian war. The hosts cringe at even the mention of opposing views on the war or realities on the battlefield that might favor Russia. It’s the mainstream news narrative converted into podcast form. It’s unfortunate because they’ve had some great guests and I’ve listened to about 20 episodes. I saw the bias early on. I called it quits when the hosts outright dismissed Professor John Mearsheimer as an “idiot” and Russian propagandist. It was an eye opener on the unprofessionalism, lack of integrity, and laziness. A simple google search would pull up his credentials and a laundry list of videos.

If you can get past the cattiness and the oddly inappropriate and incessant chortling, not bad. This is a decent supplemental source of chit chat and low-mid level insight.

For those that are consuming a lot of information about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, The Telegraph’s ‘Ukraine: The Latest’ should be at the top of every podcast list. If your interest is piqued and want supplemental and significantly inciteful podcasts, there are better choices than Battlefield Ukraine. I’d recommend ’Ukraine Without Hype’, ‘In Moscows Shadows’ and ‘Explaining Ukraine’. All three are exceptional you want to dig deeper than the headlines.
