RATING
If you're interested in the stories as told by the Cold War generation, this is where you want to be. Every episode I've listened to has taught me so much about the stories behind the headlines and the variety of perspectives are extraordinary. The host, Ian Sanders is marvelous as is the quality of the podcast. I cannot recommend this highly enough and hope you take a few listens.
