A podcast about men who fought in World War Two whose stories are told by their sons.
In each episode Matthew Collins interviews a vet's son and explores the effects of the war - not only on the father who fought in it but also on the son born after it.
Like most vets, Matthew's father rarely talked about the war. And when he did, he usually told light-hearted war stories - rather than discuss seriously what he'd seen and done.
Matthew has long known that he was partly shaped by his father's war. His father's war experience seeped into his consciousness - often to Matthew's annoyance.
So, when his dad died, he started to compare notes with other vets' sons.
And then recorded interviews with men who told the stories of their fathers' wars. And reflected on its effects - on their fathers and on them.
We Sons of World War Two Vets launches seven episodes (including a taster) on 16th April.
The podcast is a unique addition to celebrations surrounding 2025's 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.

POSTSCRIPT:
There are many World War Two Vets' sons out there - with historical and psychological father/son reflections.
And Matthew wants to record them.
