Among this series' many fine attributes, I particularly appreciate historian Margaret MacMillan's voiceover -- not just the content but also the feeling and sound of her narration. I wish this day by day series were more extensive but I am glad that even this 1914 set of mini-podcasts exists. Thank you, BBC.

Fascinating. A glimpse into the news and personalities that captivated the British mind in the very early days of WWI as well as the daily events that lead to the greatest disaster of the early 20th century. Wonderful bite-size length.

Great concept. Well presented. Short historically informative and mildly dramatized episodes. This is the best history podcast I've heard. I hope it continues to cover the entire war.
