Tell the lads Osmar White wrote an excellent account of the campaign; also had a side career in later life as a local children's book author. I highly recommend it and, 'The Super-Roo of Mungalongaloo'.

TODAY'S SHOW: Join James Holland & Al Murray as they look at the epic fight for the Kokoda Trail - including why before the campaign, soldiers in the AIF might call men of the Militia 'Choccos'...

Just finished the new @WeHaveWaysPod 4 episode series on the Kokoda campaign of 1942. A very solid foundation provided by @almurray & @James1940 for a very complex slice of history. Wasn't expecting the degree of detail & analysis provided. If you're new to this topic start here

Ahem. May I be so bold as to offer a full explanation of Kokoda Track vs Trail with maps and everything?

Strewth! (Etc). This corner of the war is so utterly dramatic, with twists and turns and internecine politics the like of which makes all those ooh Monty and Patton didn't get along books look like very weak beer.
And what's been fantastic is just talking about doing these pods here on twitter has brought lots of stuff to light, interaction with Australian listeners, familiar names and new ones.

Also; over at the @wehavewayspod Patreon talks from this year's festival are going up... the FOMO antidote

TOMORROW: We're really excited to share this one with you all - Join James Holland and Al Murray as they look into Papua New Guinea and the gruelling fight that Australian forces had for... The Kokoda Track!

There will now be a temptation in many parts of Europe, including the UK, to think that things will eventually go back to normal with the US and that Europe can stop its reluctant shift towards strategic autonomy. That would be a serious mistake.
Looking forward to this and talking to @StevenWilsonHQ hot of the heels of his triumphant orchestral shows at the @RoyalAlbertHall. Have been fortunate enough to have been able to listen to the new album a fair bit too (rather than just the once in a blindfold).
To celebrate the release of my new album, join me in a conversion discussing all things relating to the village with my friend Al Murray. Afterwards Iβll be signing copies of the album. See you there! Tickets go on sale at 5pm BST today. link.dice.fm/U2b891d0abb6

We should stick with the more familiar Donkeys and Elephants. I know that one is one and the other is the other one..
