Hello, this is Matt from the Explorers podcast.

I want to invite you to join me on the voyages and journeys of the most famous explorers in the history of the world.

These are the thrilling and captivating stories of Vigllan, Shackleton, Lewis, and Clark,

and so many other famous, and not so famous, adventures from throughout history.

That's the Explorers Podcast. Hello, everyone and welcome to History of the Second World War, episode 185, the fall of France through the Ardennes.

This week, a big thank you goes out to Vaughn and Matthew for choosing to support the podcast

by becoming members.

On a bit of a programming note, last week was the 10th anniversary of the start of History

of the Great War.

Over the last 10 years, I've released over 500 episodes,

and I just wanted to thank everybody who is listening or has listened to one of those episodes.

I would also like to send a special thank you to everyone who's been a member over that time,

or left a review of the podcast online, or told anybody in their life about the podcast. You are

the reason that so many new people

are listening all the time. Of course, 10 years is just a number, and there are still many more

years ahead. You can head to the link in the show notes to find out more about the podcast in the

next year and the triumphant return of member-only episodes over on the Patreon page for the podcast.

These will be monthly episodes covering a wide range of topics outside of the narrative of the show.
