@nleaney It’s definitely contemporary, I think they all knew that now that they were in Germany the war would be over in 45

Update from HGP HQ.

With #NOTW pod launching in the Summer, we'll mostly post from @newsofthewar pod now. However **blushes** if you'd like to hear all the old Lowlander pods - ☺️ - then they're here.

Clackety Ping!

@AndyAitcheson @almurray If he thinks there wasn’t an entire year’s worth of planning, making sure the last episode came out on his birthday… 🤨

@Karl_Reid @rentaquill @AndyAitcheson Thanks Karl! We’ve never been ones to push a hard sell - just pleased you enjoyed listening to what the men were reading, news of the war an’ all that.

That said **coughs in promo** there’s always WWTJ North, in the Spring!
