A new Podcast for We Happy Few 506 co-founder Leighton (Me), who is keen to explore the history that exists on our doorstep, whether its World War 2, Medieval era, literature (I'm looking into some incredible local history related to Lord of the Rings) and more and what else is on our doorstep that connects us to the past and in some cases, significant events that occurred in history, I bring you the WHF506 - History On Your Doorstep Podcast.

Joining me for this first episode, I had with me special guest co-host, Joe Muccia join me as we spoke with one of my favourite historians, an author of several World War 2 books, co-host of the We Have Ways and World War 2 Live podcat and just an incredibly nice guy, John McManus. I brought John on to talk about his book 'The Dead and Those About To Die', that focuses on the 1st Infantry Division and the invasion of Normandy, in particular their action on Omaha Beach. I might add, the conversation was fluid and several areas covered that we barely cover what happened on the beach.

If you are interested in coming on the Podcast to talk about your own career as a historian, an up coming book or even a piece of history that happened on your doorstep then send me an email to info@wehappyfew506.com
