Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we pay homage to The Forgotten Men of World War I, marking it's Centennial, this very year.

Listen in as we play its iconic music during and after the war, such as: Enrico Caruso's " Over There," & Bing Crosby's "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

Also, a discussion of great World War I films along with clips from: "All quiet on the western front," "The Roaring Twenties," with Jimmy Cagney, & "Broken Lullaby," with Lionel Barrymore.
