  • Episode 139: Pozières: Australia's Bloodiest Battle of the Somme

    Episode 139: Pozières: Australia's Bloodiest Battle of the Somme
    2026/08/10
    The struggle for Pozieres would become one of the most infamous campaigns of the Battle of the Somme: some 23000 Australians would become casualties over six weeks fighting on a front barely three miles wide. The total casualties were comparable to Gallipoli and the outcome would be controversial. What happened at Pozieres and why did it degenerate into one of the bloodiest battles of the war for Australia?

    Episode 138: Somme's Woodland: Mametz, Trônes, Delville & High Wood
    2026/08/03
    There was no terrain on the Somme that soldiers feared more than woodland - a maze of broken stumps, fallen branches, and hidden barbed wire. In this episode we explore how and why the woods of the Somme became such a crucial part of the battle.

  • Episode 137: Night Attack on the Somme: Bazentin Ridge 1916

    Episode 137: Night Attack on the Somme: Bazentin Ridge 1916
    2026/07/27
    Just two weeks after the catastrophe of 1 July 1916, the British Army launched another major assault on the Somme - this time with dramatically different results. Attacking before dawn after silently assembling thousands of men in No Man's Land, they overran much of the German second position, captured thousands of prisoners, and briefly created what many believed was the best opportunity for a decisive breakthrough on the Western Front since trench warfare had begun. Yet today, the Battle of Bazentin Ridge is largely overshadowed by the bloodshed that came before and after it. So what changed in those two weeks? Did the British Army learn its lessons with remarkable speed, or has Bazentin simply become remembered as one of the greatest missed opportunities of the entire Somme campaign?

    Episode 136: The Somme in the South - Forgotten Victory
    2026/07/20
    When people think of the Somme, they think of failure: men cut down in no man's land; shattered battalions; and catastrophic losses. Yet along much of the southern part of the battlefield, this is not what happened at all. Here, British troops broke into the German defences, captured villages and advanced further than anywhere else on 1 July. For a few brief hours, it even seemed that the offensive might achieve its planners' hopes. So why did this part of the battlefield look so different? If the attack was succeeding here, why is the first day of the Somme still remembered as such a disaster?

  • Bonus Episode: Reichs & Republics The Turnip Winter of 1916/17

    Bonus Episode: Reichs & Republics The Turnip Winter of 1916/17
    2026/07/20
    What happens when an entire nation runs out of food? This is one of our favourite episodes from our sister podcast, Reichs and Republics: The German History Podcast, and we’d like to share it with you. In this episode Katja and Chris explore the brutal reality of the 'Turnip Winter' of 1916/17, when the German civilian population was forced to endure extreme hunger, freezing temperatures and a collapsing food system. Food shortages weakened Germany not only physically, but also shattered morale, playing a decisive role in the country's eventual defeat in the First World War. They explore how the British blockade, disastrous harvests and government mismanagement forced people to survive on animal fodder such as turnips and crows!

  • Episode 135: The Somme’s Northern Disaster

    Episode 135: The Somme’s Northern Disaster
    2026/07/06
    At 7.30am on the morning of 1st July 1916, whistles blew along a front stretching more than twenty miles. Tens of thousands of British soldiers climbed from their trenches and began walking towards the German lines. By nightfall nearly 20,000 of them would be dead. It remains the bloodiest day in British military history. But that catastrophe was not evenly spread across the battlefield. Some sectors were disasters. Others achieved limited success. To understand what happened, we need to begin in the north, where the British offensive would suffer its greatest failures.
