New podcast series to trace small technological changes that have had a big impact on the battlefield

In Nammo, we are always trying to improve, with our internal slogan being "one millimeter better every day". Most of the time, this is also how technology improves – not in leaps and bounds, but in several small, incremental improvements that together brings about major change. Yet it is the few major leaps that get all the attention, while the small steps, despite their significance, usually go unnoticed and uncelebrated.

This is something that Nammo, together with the military history podcast War Stories, would like to do something about. For the next ten months, Nammo will be sponsoring one monthly bonus episode of War Stories presenting small technological changes and improvements that have had a major impact - both on the battlefield, and behind the scenes. Our goal is that this special series, known as “Loose Rounds”, will help highlight the importance of innovation at all levels, and demonstrate why an ever-present focus on improvements and new and better solutions really matters – because ultimately, it could help save lives.

The podcast War Stories is a narrative audio show focused on stories at the heart of conflict. In each season of the show, hosts Adin Dobkin and Angry Staff Officer focus on a particular component of warfare, and over the course of a season, the arc of that topic’s development is traced from inception to the present day with each episode focusing on a particular story at a key point in its development.

The special series Loose Rounds premieres Monday, February 19th. To make sure you’re the first to know about Loose Rounds, and to hear a sneak peek trailer that was published this morning, subscribe to War Stories on iTunes, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or wherever else you might listen to podcasts. Starting next week, you will also be able to find every episode at www.nammo.com.
