Support the show
A podcast about men who fought in World War Two whose stories are told by their sons. In each episode Matthew Collins interviews a vet's son and explores the effects of the war - not only on the father who fought in it but also on the son born after it.Like most vets, Matthew's father rarely talked about the war. And when he did, he usually told light-hearted war stories about it - rather than discuss seriously what he'd seen and done.Matthew has long known that part of his consciousness was shaped by his father's war. His father's war experience seeped into his consciousness - often to Matthew's annoyance. So, he started to compare notes with other vets' sons. And now he's recorded interviews with men who tell the stories of their fathers' wars. And reflect on the effects the war had - on their fathers and on them.A taster episode is now available. The series launches on 16th April 2025. It will provide a unique addition to celebrations surrounding this year's 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.More info: www.matthewcollins.com PostscriptThere are many World War Two Vets' sons out there - with many father/son reflections.
