Seth Paridon combines both Wake Island episodes into a single 3.5-hour block covering the December 1941 defence — the Marine garrison's unlikely repulse of the first Japanese landing, the failed relief expedition, and the eventual fall. At this length you get the full operational picture: the improvised coastal defence, VMF-211's dwindling Wildcats, and the Navy's agonising decision not to push Task Force 14 through. One of the best single-sitting treatments of Wake available in podcast form.
