Great War Podcasts, Part 2: Imperial War Museum

1914.org, which is operated by the Imperial War Museum, hosts a total of forty-seven podcasts on the First World War. As I write this, I have yet to listen to any of them, but when I was checking them out in a bit more detail, I saw that they're not exactly download-friendly. Don't get me wrong, you can download them; but in order to do so, you have to go to each individual episode's page. So, if you want to stream episodes, you can do so by using the individual episode pages at the main podcast page. If you want to download the files for offline or mp3 player listening, the following links will be a bit more user-friendly.

[UPDATE] I've been listening to these, and they're really good. They're called "Voices of the First World War", and they feature archival audio, mostly of soldiers who served in the conflict. They're not very long, so you can get sort of a bite-sized chunk of Great War history; but that chunk of Great War history isn't some stodgy old historian reciting antiquarian facts, but the voices of the folks who were there, discussing their experiences in their own voices. And, Episode 5 features a Gordon Highlander![/UPDATE]
