- ramesh31 5y agoLiterally checking every morning for episode 7 at this point.... come on Dan.
- joshgachnang 5y agoI'm pretty sure he said episode 6 was the finale.
- ramesh31 5y agoWell that just ruined my day.
- PostOnce 5y agohe's going to do an ancient world one next since we've been on ww2 so long, he said. There are new episodes of HH addendum very often though
- joshgachnang 5y agoI'm sorry! Though it did feel very wrapped up with the end corresponding with the end of the war. Personally I hope he does the Korean or Vietnam war eventually. I had very little insight into WWI until listening to his podcasts, and I think those could lend themselves to very interesting episodes.
- TheHypnotist 5y agoPretty sure the series ends at 6.
- Rels 5y agoI thought that the series was done? And I'm adding my recommandation to Hardcore History, it's a great podcast.
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoSeconding this recommendation. I’ve read a lot about World War 2, but this podcast was such a fresh, impactful presentation. Amazingly well done. And useful context for articles like this one.

- BasilPH 5y agoI came here to post this, glad you already did. It's honestly one of the best things I've ever listened to. I find it amazing how he can paint such a nuanced picture of such a complex and horrific topic which lends itself so easily to taking a black-and-white view.
- cushychicken 5y agoLeMay knew exactly how horrid of a thing he'd spearheaded, too. "If we hadn't won, I'd have been executed as a war criminal."
- tpowell 5y agoThey turned this podcast into an excellent book, and the audiobook gets all of the same treatments as the podcast: https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/the-bomber-mafia-a-dream-a-temptation/id1560431588 https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/the-bomber-mafia-a-drea...
