These are all the full episodes reposted for free by Radio War Nerd, not including the half-hour episode previews which are also for free. The episodes are divided into segments, usually showcasing a historical war, featuring an interview with experts on history or current events, or an overview of current war news. 1/3 to a half of these episodes will seem out of date, because current events in the world of wars have long passed them by. Going through the backlog, I'm noticing that not many of the actual war-centered episodes are reposted for free.

Episode 20: Tim Shorrock talks about the legacy of the Korean War, and the ways in which the United States agitates the conflict in a way that's counterproductive to anyone interested in reconciliation.

It's been a couple months since they've reposted an episode for free, but this should be more than enough to wet anyone's whistle at about 39 hours of free content. Again, Episode 64 the Sci Fi & Fascism episode is the best one they've done yet, and I'd recommend it even to people who don't care anything about war stuff because it goes a long way towards explaining the history of reactionary thought on the margins of America's right wing and its ties to today's "Alt-Right."
