About this listen
Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home. Thanks to Martin Sheen’s performance and the voices of ordinary Americans throughout this Audible Original, listeners can feel what life was like during a disruptive and uncertain period of American history. Martha Little is the Executive Producer, and Dan Gediman is the series producer of The Home Front.
Note: The Home Front contains mature and sensitive themes.

Dale Maharidge’s father, like many World War II veterans, never talked about “the good war”. There was just one clue to his dad’s experience as a US Marine - a portrait with a close friend that hung permanently in their home. In The Dead Drink First, Dale, now a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recounts his 18-year quest to find and repatriate the missing remains of his dad’s buddy, Herman Walter Mulligan, 73 years after he was killed in action.

James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella “Annie” March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn’s larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.

Every life reaches that crucial intersection, the place where you must choose your fate, or have it chosen for you. For best-selling author Rich Cohen (The Fish That Ate the Whale, The Last Pirate of New York), it came in a writing workshop senior year in college, when, at 17, he had to knuckle under to a ruthless professor or make a righteous, self-defeating stand.

Sir John Penlyon is planning to spend Christmas at his estate with his niece and his friend Danby, the closest thing he has to family since disowning his daughter years ago. (She eloped with the parson, who was, of course, penniless.) Danby suggests that at Christmastime the estate needs the presence of small children, and offers to find some - the “hirelings” - despite Sir John’s skepticism. Three children duly arrive, and the youngest, precocious four year-old Moppet, quickly endears herself to Sir John.

In December 2017 the famous porn star August Ames committed suicide in a park in the Conejo Valley. It happened a day after she’d been the victim of a pile-on, via Twitter, by fellow porn professionals - punishment for her tweeting something deemed homophobic. A month later, August’s husband, Kevin, connected with Jon Ronson to tell the story of how Twitter bullying killed his wife. What neither Kevin nor Ronson realized was that Ronson would soon hear rumors and secrets hinting at a very different story - something mysterious and unexpected and terrible.

Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Excellent! But incessant breaks with credits along the way.
I loved the audio insights. Keep these things coming!
But very annoying format with the incessant credits. There are 16 episodes. Each one starts with an intro "this is what you're going to hear in this episode" then the episode, then "this is what you are going to hear next," then just under 2 minutes of credits for that episode, then a new episode starts with "this is what you are going to hear."
Seriously, 30 minutes of that, altogether, throughout the program.
I listen at 2X so they kept coming and coming.
Get to the meat and potatoes and cut out the fluff. Put all the credits at the end and be done with it.
I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the credits which slowed everything down.

I especially enjoyed learning about the Port Chicago Bomb. I lived in Port Chicago in the early 60's until the Navy decided to demolish our little town. Martin Sheen is a master narrator, as usual!

Well done.
The journey through history was captivating and exciting. Our history seems to have been stripped from us and hearing the voices of those who lived and experienced this seminal, pivotal time of history was inspiring.
I encourage everyone to listen to the way things were, for it is said ,if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat our mistakes.

New perspective of World War II
As someone born a month after World War II ended, this podcast provided an audible account of the war my parents experienced.
Riveting narration, dynamic personal accounts brought the experiences of soldiers, and home front survivors to life.Excellent production.
I highly recommend this listening experience

Caliber of Ken Burns on audible
What made the experience of listening to The Home Front: Life in America During World War II the most enjoyable?
Richness of detail and variety of information formats. Voices of the people in America before, during and after the war (Studs Terkel is an American treasure). Weaving of different formats from great narration by Sheen with voices of Roosevelt, Churchill and so many other decision-makers of the time. Unvarnished details of the home front experience. Just incredible. Huge perspective. Educational +++ and listenable+++ together.
What other book might you compare The Home Front: Life in America During World War II to and why?
Although this presentation was audio only, it was a multi-media experience!! So there is really no book to compare.
What about Martin Sheen’s performance did you like?
Excellent all around.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Don't sit when I listen to books but I listened straight through the two days while doing all my chores.

Incredibly well done, magnificently told!
This performance not only intrigued me right from the beginning, it kept me! I was moved, educated, inspired, saddened and proud throughout the program. I laughed a little, cried more and listened! This program changed my perspective on thing I “thought” I know about our country, the war, the history and our people. I highly recommend this! 10 stars!!

Martin Sheen is such a known and believable host.
WWll was my parents ‘ era. For me it was too distant to relate to. This series made me feel like I was living during those times. I enjoyed experiencing the multiple dimensions of those times and their impact on American life. It was something my husband and I could listen to and enjoy together on long drives.
