War

I've been getting some excellent podcast recommendations from David in London, and here are two, both on the topic of war.

The first is about the Vietnam War. Lyndon B. Johnson recorded many of the conversations he had when deciding what to do in Vietnam, and this episode of the Bill Moyers Journal plays and discusses some of these conversations. Listening to this almost makes you feel like you're hearing something you're not supposed to hear, and it gives good insight as to what motivates a president to make the decisions he does. You can listen now, or download it on itunes. The itunes release date was 11/20/09.

The second is titled "wounded platoon," and it is about just that, a platoon from the war in Iraq. This episode is done by Frontline PBS, and you can listen now, or download it on itunes. The itunes release date was 5/20/10.
