Coffee and Cables

Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training

Coffee and Cables is your unofficial guide to diplomacy. A “cable” is how diplomats communicate, official messages sent between Washington and posts around the world. We like to think of our podcast as a more relaxed version of that. We’re delivering stories, history, and insights straight to you. At Coffee and Cables, we explore Foreign Service Officer oral histories, revisit major global events, and create episodes that make foreign policy feel approachable and fun.

    Cracking the Code

    This week our hosts, Amelia and Sofia, spotlight Ms. Betty Allan, a World War II codebreaker whose work helped unlock critical intelligence during the war. We dive into the world of codebreaking, where individuals were recruited to decipher foreign military communications, and explore Betty’s role in analyzing Japanese signals. It’s a story of quiet impact, sharp minds, and the unseen work that shaped history behind the scenes. This episode was brought to you from the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training.
