Are you ready to step into history?

Season 1 is wrapped, and I just wanted to say thank you! I'm so grateful you've spent these hours with me. The show is growing, and that's entirely because of you - people who care about deep-dive WW2 history and are willing to invest an hour to really understand these stories.

If Season 1 resonated with you, I have one big ask: leave a review. Whether it's Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen - a review is one of the best ways to help other history fans discover the show. It takes about two minutes and makes a real difference in getting this content in front of people who'd love it.

And if you know someone who'd enjoy immersive WW2 history, send them Episode 1. All six episodes of Season 1 are ready to binge right now.

If you want to stay in the loop for Season 2, you can join my email list at povww2.com.

One more thing - if you left a review or shared the show with someone, email me at fernando@povww2.com and I'll send you a sticker as a thank you. I have a limited number available, so don't wait too long. It's a small gesture, but I appreciate you helping build this community.

Season 2 is coming in the new year with more immersive, you-are-there WW2 stories and elevated sound design to make the experience even more powerful.

Thanks for listening!

Fernando

Are you ready to step into history?

We’re halfway through season one of POV:WW2. Three episodes are out, and there are three more to go.

I’ll be taking a short midseason break. These stories take a lot of research and care, and I want to make sure the second half of this season has the same depth, accuracy, and storytelling quality as what you’ve already heard.

The podcast will be back on Veterans Day, November 11th. What better moment to continue this journey than a day when we honor those who served. That’s when Episode Four will drop, and then the final two episodes will follow in the weeks after.

Thanks for listening and please remember to review the podcast where you listen and spread the word about it. Thank you so much! -Fernando
