Incredible Podcast
☆☆☆☆☆
This is easily the best historical podcast out there and it might just be the best podcast of all. Well researched and put together by the host plus an impressive array of guests. Start listening if you haven’t already.

i’ve found it difficult to find a good, varied and informative podcast on soviet history, until now. as a post-graduate student studying soviet history this podcast is a real gem to listen to while i’m pottering about in the flat or commuting. highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about this period in history beyond what books will tell you.
