The History of
the Great War
History of the Great War is a weekly podcast that will cover the First World War that occurred from 1914 and 1918. Every week we will be discussing the events that occurred exactly 100 years ago. We will journey from the borders of France in the blistering heat of 1914, to the shores of Gallipoli, to the banks of Somme, to the final knockout attempt by the German army in the spring of 1918.
Wesley Livesay
My name is Wesley Livesay. Since 2014 I have been creating history podcasts with the goal of making history interesting and approachable to listeners of all knowledge levels. I also hope to be able to shed light on lesser-known stories in very well-known events, like the Second World War. From July 2014 to December 2019 I released over 250 episodes for History of the Great War, my podcast covering the First World War. In Spring 2020 I started a new podcast, History of the Second World War, in which I hope to eventually cover the entire history of the Second World War, from the interwar period to the founding of the United Nations.
