We have ways of making them write, and they have ways of making them talk. Congratulations to Niall Cherry, Dan Ellin and Nick Le Huray, who will be speaking at this year's festival. @almurray.bsky.social @nickleh.bsky.social @danellin.bsky.social wehavewaysfest.co.uk/line-up/

Delighted to be speaking at We Have Ways Fest. Full line up announced today. wehavewaysfest.co.uk/line-up/

Received a thank you today for doing the commentary for the livestream of the Liberation Day Military Parade in the morning with Jim Delbridge. Slightly stunned by the statistics as it was watched in 39 countries and had almost 10,000 views!

Je me demande si certains de mes abonnés français pourraient m'aider. Je suis à la recherche d'une archive qui pourrait traiter des prisonniers de guerre allemands en France à partir de 1945. Je vous remercie d'avance pour votre assistance.

Another terrific podcast from @nickleh.bsky.social and Islands at War. open.spotify.com/episode/5Auv...

Apologies in advance if I am slow to reply to emails and messages over the next few days. I am in full Liberation 80 mode! We have visitors and various commitments for media interviews and commentating on the morning parade live stream and the cavalcade in the afternoon.

Glad you enjoyed!
