Welcome to Episode 6 of the Windy Valley Digest Podcast—a milestone moment for us. According to YouTube analytics, this episode has quickly become the most successful installment of the series so far, drawing in more listeners and viewers than any previous release. We’re grateful for the growing support and excited to share why this particular episode has resonated so strongly.
In this installment, we bring together two powerful threads: a voice carried across time from the Great War, and the unfolding chapters of Bernard Treves’s Boots, a serialized tale of espionage and mistaken identity. Both narratives, though very different in form, touch on themes of courage, deception, and the hidden battles fought in the shadows.
