Witness History

Ben Henderson — rotating BBC World Service presenter; Josephine McDermott — rotating BBC World Service presenter

BBC short-form interviews — usually under 10 minutes — with people who lived through historical events. Hit rate on military topics is low (the show ranges across the whole 20th century in all dimensions) and the format is too short for operational depth. Useful for first-person colour rather than analysis.
