I’m looking for podcasts that give overviews of each of these wars.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Blueprint for Armageddon is pretty good for WW1, there's like 24 hours worth of listening there.

Check out
The fat electrician on you tube.

Amazing, educational stories, colorfully told.

Vidio not podcast I guess.



Endeavor to persevere.

Civil War. Very nicely presented.

I am not sure if it is a podcast but I watch the episodes on Youtube:

Civil War:

American Battlefield Trust

Civil War Digital Digest

World Wars:

Mark Felton- WW2

Tank Chats from The Tank Museum
(I am an armor/mechanized buff, so this is one of my favorites)

World War I Podcast
Produced by the MacArthur Memorial, the World War I History Podcast explores the history of the war from a variety of perspectives.

The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War podcasts are great, interesting and well researched.

World War II from Timeghost. Especially the week by week in real time series that concluded last year. Then they launched their Korean War channel, also week by week.

Do they have to be podcasts, or would audiobooks also work?

If so, there are a number of excellent books for those wars that have been converted to audiobook format.

For example, I highly recommend GJ Meyers' "A World Undone" for WW1. It's by far the best single volume overview of WW1 on the market. And the audiobook narration is excellent.

Similarly, Max Hastings' "Inferno: The World At War" is an excellent WW2 overview, and is available in audiobook form.

One of the best WW1-related podcast series by far. Just understand that it's not a complete overview of WW1. It almost completely focuses on Western Front warfare itself, and the horrid conditions in the trenches.

Still definitely worth a listen, in addition to some others to further bulk out your knowledge on the multitude of other WW1 topics, events, precursors, and consequences.

The Great War Channel hosted by Indy Neidell is superb. The war is presented week by week. It's a multi year effort. The series continues after the war has ended but hosted by Jessie. Jessie is okay but I now watch WW2 and the Korean War hosted by Indy.

SigJacket recommended a solid.

Great War Channel.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History In particular, Supernova in the East, is 6-part series about WWII in the Pacific arguably the best at emphasizing how violent and brutal that theater was and Blueprint for Armageddon which is a 6-part series that deals with WWI and how that war introduced mechanized warfare which changed the world, particularly the Western World philosophically, socially and technologically.
