After catching my breath with the concluding part of the Battle of Britain episode I've been pondering what the milestone number 10 what might cover.  After a discussion with Jim Mowatt of Historyzine fame we've decided to do a double header as we did a while back on his show.

More news as I get it..

Tony 

Welcome to the final part of series looking at the Battle of Britain.  What did the air battle over Southern England in the summer 1940 mean?  Was it even a battle?  Can it be see in terms of winners and losers?  And what about the myths?  I try to answers these and few other questions in no particular order. 

Thanks for all the kind and generous comments and email and I hope you enjoy this last BTHP mini series.

All the best.

Episode 9 is almost done.  I recorded, edited and was just about to publish but decided I wasn't happy with a few bits, nothing serious but will delay posting by probably twenty four hours.  Back very soon.

Just to let you know I've started to record Episode 9 so it shouldn't been too long.  Hopefully I'll have something before the end of the week.  Fingers crossed.

All the best

Tony

The final episode on the Battle of Britain is on it's way, I'm about half way there so hopefully not long to go.  I also think I know what episode 10 will be about as well.

All the best.

Welcome back after my affliction of 'podblock'.  We now look at the events after the 'Hardest Day' up to the official end of the battle in October as the Luftwaffe focus attacks on Fighter Commands airfields then switch to attacking London.  Oh...and did you know the Italians turned up after everything was effectively over?

I've just started recording episode number 8.  It covers the Battle of Britain from the middle of August 1940 until the end of October when most historicans draw a line under the battle.  Based on the material I have I reckon it'll be about 45 mins long so bear with me whilst I try and fit it in around work, dogs and the impending building work which starts next week.

All the very best...Tony

Just to let those of you are interested I'm half way through the script for No 8...so I am getting there...just a bit slower than I'd like.  Bear with me...

After talking to fellow podcaster Jim Mowatt, he of Historyzine fame and Anne who is actually a man, the internet's No 1 podcast reviewer my case of 'podblock' may and I say may be at an end.  Their unique but tried and trusted 'good cop, bad cop' routine seems to have give me the gentle nudge to get me going again and as I type this I am also putting the next episode together. 

On a separate but not unrelated note one thing that has begun to puzzle me is iTunes, I haven't a clue how BTHP keeps it's position between twenty five and thirty in the History podcast charts, it does sometimes as it did the other day reach the heady heights of sixteen but was soon back to it's apparent alloted place.  No one seems to know how the iTunes positional listings work and of course no one at Apple is telling...as with all things Cupertino secrecy is distilled almost to an artform.

Thanks for you contined support and feedback...which of course, so don't tell Jim or Anne, is the real reason to keep going.

If you're the one person wondering when I might get Episode 8 posted then I can only apologise and confess I'm finding this one tough going.  If the podcasting 'Fates' look favourably upon me the next episode might come sooner than later but if there is a podcasting version of writers block, I don't know say 'Podblock', then I might have it.
