• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Always liked history, read a few books but my interest was always a level below that of an enthusiast

Have been demolishing 'The Rest is History' podcast for the last couple of months, yes it's made by Goalhanger podcasts which is owned by Gary Lineker, but if you can get past that and pick a period/topic you are curious about then the hours just fly by.

Each episode is a narration/discussion of the relevant timeline from historians Tom Holland and Dominic Westbrook, not aimed at academics by any means and the humour level is spot on.

Highly recommend their series on the build up to WW1, outstanding (and tragic)

I’ve listened to a few of those, about the Wilson/Heath/Thatcher shenanigans and the miners in the 70s. Very good.

Got that on my subscribed list.

Any good?

Yeah I really enjoyed it, despite having read the book and watched a few documentaries on it. One of the twins from Twin Town narrates it.
 
A couple of good ones from BBC Sounds. Uncanny - another supernatural one, some episodes are spooky as hell, and The Coming Storm - about QAnon and Trump, the US is nuts.
