What our listeners say

Podcasting At Its Best
☆☆☆☆☆
A superb collection of stories and recollections, covering all aspects of the period. Absolutely fascinating insights from people who were there, great insights and anecdotes in every episode. Ian’s conversations are well delivered in a relaxed style that draws me in and paints pictures in my mind.

Fantastic!

Each episode is very engaging and enjoyable. It’s great to listen to real life stories from the people who experience all this first hand and lived through it. This podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Cold War history and the host does a great job letting the each guest shine and tell their stories.
