In commemoration of the 80th anniversary, D-Day: The Tide Turns follows the real people involved in the Normandy Landings. Hosted by Paul McGann. New episodes Thursdays.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast was excellent! I didn’t know much of D-Day, and by the end I felt like I learned so much. My husband knows a lot about the war, and when I tell him things I learned he was excited that a podcast like this explains so much. Definitely wonderful to listen to!!

The Crabber · May 2026

I learned so much about D-Day and WWII from this podcast. Great pace and good voice. Highly recommend

Ann.rn · Jan 2026

My husband and I are preparing to visit Normandy next month. This podcast has been a fantastic way to prepare. It is done with excellence!

Vol98 · Sep 2025

The first podcast from Noiser I experienced was Titanic and this one is very close to if not as good as Titanic. The writing is so vivid that I feel as if I am watching the events unfolding. I loved learning about the strategic deception. I am looking forward to learning more and will continue listening
