Top 34 Military History Podcasts

It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

Welcome to The Tim Heale Podcast, where history comes alive through the people who lived it, and every story is grounded in real experience.

I'm Tim Heale, a British Army veteran, broadcaster, military historian and author of The Parallel Six series, with 44 years of service in the British Army, serving in Germany during the Cold War, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Each episode brings together real military stories, forgotten history, travel, interviews, and personal experiences from over fifty years of adventure. From battlefields and memorials to regimental traditions, motorcycle journeys across Europe, and life behind the microphone, you'll hear the stories that rarely make it into the history books.

Whether we're exploring Waterloo, Arnhem, Berlin, Normandy, Kosovo or the mountains of Morocco, every programme is built on careful research, first-hand experience, and a genuine passion for keeping history alive.

Along the way you'll also discover stories from the world of rugby, skiing, motorcycling, broadcasting, and the remarkable people I've met throughout my military and civilian life.

If you enjoy military history, true stories, travel, and authentic conversation, you're in the right place.

Subscribe and join a growing community of veterans, families, historians, and enthusiasts who believe the past should never be forgotten.

Real history. Real people. Real stories.

The Writer is a fictional, serialised audio drama exploring the events of an imagined World War Three.

When global conflict erupts, a young writer is drafted into the Foxtrot Unit, a psychological operations team tasked with documenting the war through stories that blend truth with deception. Their mission: to control the narrative. Some of what you’ll hear is true. Some isn’t. The question is ... can you tell the difference?

All names, ranks and locations have been changed to protect the identities of those involved. Out of respect for the fallen, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred, according to the Foxtrot Unit’s classified reports.

Listener discretion is advised.
