Dramas

I am a second generation American with two uncles, and my father serving in WWII. One of my uncles never spoke about his experiences; the other one freely spoke of it. I found this tale so timely given our current climate of defining who is an American and who is not. Democracy and political freedom is what WWII warriors fought to preserve. It’s incredibly ironic that all of this coming into question now. These tellings need to remind us all of the importance of everyone’s sacrifice during WWII and every conflict since! Thank you for doing this drama.

So many podcasts about history become dry and the voice of the narrator takes over from history. By giving the characters their own voices this podcast brings the drama of the history to life and puts us back in touch with the human beings behind history. I am appreciating the first three episodes! I graduated from high school in 1978 and some of my close friendsWere Persian exiles trapped in America by the revolution. The revolution shaped the world we live in an American foreign policy up till this day in countries like Venezuela, Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan,… Keep up the good work and look forward to the future episodes

So far this has been a great podcast. I listen to a lot of different audio dramas and such and the BBC’s production is once again even better then what I would think of of average. I did have to listen to the first two episodes twice to really get the nuances of the story but now I’m into and loving it. Keep it up BBC, can’t wait for more. 👍🏻

For any true survivor fan, this show has it ALL including my the behind the scenes planning, fun, and strategy we all crave. Keep it coming because I am NEVER leaving this island!

I was really disappointed and stopped listening somewhere during the second episode. This was a major event for Iran and the U.S. and turning it into a soap opera trivialized the impact of this period of history. The dramatization was too much for me to listen to for very long. It was a bit amateurish.
