If you were alive from 1945 - 1990, the Cold War was an ever-present reality. We grew up being told that the world could end any minute - and you probably wouldn't know it was coming until it hit. On this series we're going DEEP on the Cold War - why it happened, how it happened and where it left us. As with our other hit podcast series, this show contains heavy doses of bad language, irreverent humour and singalongs.

    “Empire By Invitation”

    “Empire By Invitation”

    European recipients of the Marshall Plan funds were quite clear to the USA that they needed help keeping the socialists down and out of their countries. And the USA recognized that its own economic welfare rested on the revival of Europe. Funding a pro-capitalist European recovery was a matter of national self-interest.

    The Creation of NATO

    We want to take a break from Korea to talk about the creation of NATO. Obviously relevant with the whole Ukraine situation. And it took on a new kind of mission during the Korean War. But let’s go back and look at where it came from.

Let's make podcasting great again

Great Podcast!! While jogging through the snowy forests of Switzerland and listening to this wonderful podcast, I sometimes break out in loud laughter which often results in other people looking strangely at me.

If you want to learn not only about the Cold War but also about how people with power and money influence our daily lives, this is the podcast you need to listen to. In addtion it is great entertainment.

Can't wait for the 2018 "Cold-war-trip" to Europe and in the mean time as advised, I'm saving every spare $ or rather Swissie I can spare.
