  • Midseason Break | Season Returns Veteran's Day - Nov. 11th
    Sep 24 2025

    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
