New podcast series from AWM: Through Their Eyes
Discover the human truths hidden inside every conflict
In every conflict, there are countless stories. Some preserved in objects, some buried in archives, and many quietly carried in the memories of those who lived through it.
This podcast brings them to light.
Listen now to Through Their Eyes.
Listen closely as historians, veterans, families, experts, curators and eyewitnesses share perspectives and details often missing from the headlines. From battlefield artefacts to fragile letters, museum collections and recorded histories, we follow the threads that connect individual lives to larger moments around the world.
Through honest conversations and carefully researched storytelling, we discover how war shapes people. And how people, in turn, shape the stories we remember.
