Islands At War

Living in Limbo: The Channel Islands in May 1944 buzzsprout.com/2314718/episod…

Big uptick today

We have a plan! May 44 episode will be out on Monday evening. Apologies for the delay.

@sircharlsgsy Just a few bits going on which meant we ran out of time.

@IslandsAtWar Hope alls okay chaps.

Apologies there won’t be a podcast episode out tomorrow due to a few issues. We will be back with an episode on 30th March.

@Nickleh had a phone call earlier from the legend that is Eric Blakeley MBE. What a lovely man, turns out he is an avid listener to the podcast. He used to be on @ITVChannelTV. For those not familiar with him he has done all sorts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Blak…

@NewForestRamble I would recommend @Nickleh my co-host at Islands At War. An experienced speaker specialising in but not confined to the German Occupation of The Channel Islands. Contact occupied@gnetradio.com for contact details.

Can you help? I need recommendations for guest speakers to talk to my group in the New Forest, we seat 80 to 95 people twice a month. Military history speakers, aviation, WW2, WW1, etc. If you've seen anyone to recommend please say, or if this sounds like you.

@james_2904 Cheers

Fascinating pod.

If you want to know who this chap is and what he has to do with the German Occupation of Guernsey you will have to tune in to the April 1944 episode which is out on Monday 9 March. In the meantime catch our previous episodes here feeds.buzzsprout.com/2314718.rss

I have an important visitor to show around the Island and explain some of our history to on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to it. Will talk about it on the @IslandsAtWar podcast that we are recording on Sunday and out on Monday evening. So do subscribe to the podcast.

@AndyAitcheson @njg330 @newsofthewar @rentaquill @IslandsAtWar I can confirm that therefore @IslandsAtWar will not be doing an emergency podcast as we aren’t experts in anything else to do with Persia. The excellent @newsofthewar will be able to fill in the rest of the WW2 and Persia for us. I commend it to our listeners.

@AndyAitcheson @njg330 @newsofthewar @rentaquill We must have been ahead of the game when we talked about Persia in our September 1942 episode of @IslandsAtWar and the impact that events in Persia had on the Channel Islands. buzzsprout.com/2314718/episod…

🚨 IMPORTANT EMERGENCY POD ALERT🚨 At ZULU 06:05 (that's bloody early, tomorrow morning) @AndyAitcheson and @rentaquill will be discussing the situation in Persia/Iran - 1939 TO 1945.👇

We have mentioned him before on the podcast and we will be mentioning him more going forward. Check out this 1985 interview with Baron Hans Max von Aufsess. vimeo.com/941897513?fl=p…

March 1944 episode out tomorrow. Catch a preview here. youtube.com/shorts/9pT2rmO…

Crikey it is two years today since we put out our first proper episode, June 1940. With 70 episodes under our belt and another recording at the weekend you can catch them here. feeds.buzzsprout.com/2314718.rss
