A military history podcast for laughing at the worst failures.

Lions Led By Donkeys is a military history show hosted by Joe, Tom, and Nate. Every Monday we publish a free episode digging into a battlefield blunder, an inept commander, or a crazy story from the history of human conflict. Bonus episodes — four or more a month — go out to members and include movie reviews, extra history deep-dives, and our long-running series The History of Armenia.

The public feed will always stay free. Membership is how we keep three new episodes a week landing on time and how we pay for the research that goes into every show.

New here? The latest free episode is on the homepage. The full archive is on the episodes page. If you want everything, the membership page has the plans.
