I really like the emphasis on the individual soldiers and their experience rather than just an overall description

In South Africa 🇿🇦 great background information about to visit the Zulu Museum thanks 🙏🏾from bus full of mostly older women from UK 🇬🇧

This show has open my ears to a lot of battles I knew nothing about and very educational but in a entertaining way

Look the perspectives and stories of a era not represented enough. I learn so much from the stories and people who are a big part of the British army.

Excellent content!!! Completely addictive interesting history!

Hello from the United States. I have been very intrigued by Wellington’s Peninsula campaign for a long time and a fan and collector of Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe’s series. This podcast is exactly what I was looking for.

The British Empire fought a lot of wars across the globe, some large, but many local obscure colonial affairs. This is a great podcast looking all of this history. What I like is hearing the stories from the perspective of those who were there, as the host often relays these accounts. Love this podcast and I highly recommend it!

I’m a huge fan of this show. One of the very best history podcasts I’ve found. You have a fan in the US. Airborne!

Fascinating series.

Loved the recent podcast where the podcast did a deep dive into the life of Lord Kitchener. Often seen as just a caricature on a poster it’s amazing to learn the details of his extraordinary career and how it affected his life. Equal attention given to topics as varied as the Zulu war and Peninsular Campaign. Have been really enjoying this and hope more people sign on.

Great content and nice delivery, good voice, at least to someone who’s not a Brit 😂. Sounds like kind of a bad dude himself which combined with being a good story teller works out swimmingly for a war podcast.

With nuanced detail, Mr. Parkinson does a phenomenal job of creating a narrative that is easy to follow, and thoroughly entertaining. His use of first hand accounts really makes the listener feel like he has “boots on the ground” during some of the British Army’s most prolific (and sometimes obscure) historical moments. Highly recommend.

It’s a real “cracking” podcast (as they probably say in England).

High quality and well done podcast. Cheers.

Well researched, easy to consume and an excellent podcast all around. A must have for any lover of military history. Keep up the great work!

Well written, well researched, A great way to spend some time. Highly reccomended.

Very well done and researched.

Very informative and in great detail.

Not the conventional high gloss podcast (which is refreshing), but the amount of research and details provided make this podcast very much worthwhile. The Zulu episodes are solid gold and that hooked me into listening to the other stories. Being from Texas I’ve never given a moments thought about the Peninsular War but, because of the way the stories are told, I look forward to every episode. And the interviews are outstanding. He lets the guest speak at length on their subject without interruption. I just hope he’s able to keep up the great work without having to surrender to limiting his time and/or adding advertising. Great job!

First off, the enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. There are so many history podcasts out there that just put me to sleep but this one is different. The author (caster?) uses first person accounts liberally which really liven up the narrative and make you want to visit the sites yourself to put yourself in their shoes. Recommended

First, let me say that this podcast is amazingly detailed and thorough. It does a perfect job of capturing the technical aspects of warfare while wholeheartedly telling the human tale. It is well researched and told with passion. I LOVE the manner in which he reads his narrative and speaks as a man truly driven by the quest to remember the history of events. He has the confidence of a man well versed in the material covered and yet humble enough to offer honest moments of self criticism when his research leaves some obscure fact undetermined. Simply put he is a relatable man who I would love to sit and throw a few cold drinks back while remembering the brave souls who fought under the Queens Colours. I have heard no better podcast to date. My only advice, don’t apologize for the impersonation accents when reading the accounts of actual participants of the battles. It adds tremendous depth and captures the imagination. It’s done in believable manner and makes the narrative come alive. Well done.

Brand new to this and it’s already in my Top 10. Great discussion of the Zulu War and other conflicts that I know only through movies and minor references in other works. I am learning a great deal and enjoying the hell out of it.

A lot of podcasts take time to find their feet ( even the great History of Rome). Not this one, this has been truly excellent from the very beginning. Christian Parkinson has found a subject that could run for a long time and so far has covered the Anglo-Zulu War brilliantly. I’m looking forward to hear more from this great podcast.

Gripping tales of the military campaigns of the British Empire at its height, come to life in each of the Redcoat History podcasts. Each story is excellent, well researched, narrated with great care and character. Christian Parkinson takes the listener inside all aspects of each campaign - exploring the reasons why, the strategies of the leadership (on both sides), and the voices of the officers and the troops engaged in battles. He wraps each tale in the sounds of the battle which brings the whole story to life in such exhilarating way; and he offers incredible additional content on his youtube and website. Listen once, and you will be hook. Brilliant job!

This podcast is great for history buffs. It is simple enough for people who aren’t familiar w the topic yet isn’t a bore for people well versed.

The “Redcoat History Podcast” is off to a great start with a fascinating and relatable series discussing the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. The story is intense, the narrative clear and organized, and the account very even-handed and balanced. I look forward to more great podcasts!
