Islands at War
Pilot Episode
We were recording a pilot episode as a bit of fun, then we decided to release it as a podcast. We will be releasing an episode on a fortnightly basis.
In the pilot episode we talked about the run up to the occupation of the Islands. This episode covers the phoney war, the refugees escaping through the islands, the bombing raid and much more. Take a look and if you like it subscribe for free. Email us with questions at occupied@gnetradio.com.
Thanks to GNET Radio for recording this.
