We Happy Few 506 presents The Pacific: The Basilone Story. In this show we explore the life and characterisation of the US Marine Corp gunnery sergeant who received the Medal of Honor for his heroism in the Guadalcanal campaign.

Joining us are Jon Seda (John Basilone), James Badge Dale (Robert Leckie), Joshua Bitton (JP Morgan) and Scott Gibson (Capt. 'Ack-Ack' Haldane). We're also joined by special guests Keith Nobbs (Wilbur 'Runner' Conley), Jacob Pitts (Bill 'Hoosier' Smith) and Freddie Joe Farnsworth (military advisor on the series).

The show is hosted by Matthew Leitch (Band of Brothers' Floyd 'Tab' Talbert) and also features members of John Basilone's family.
