Did a power ballad help bring down the Soviet Union?

I am not posting this as a political thread.

 

If you want to make political statements about it, take them to your own thread.

 

It is an interesting bit of history....or is it. The podcast Wind of Change.

Here is episode 3. Anyone around during the Cold War, Reagan and before, might find this fascinating.

Nothing like a good conspiracy theory to go to sleep with on a Friday night. Hide under the covers thinking about who's under your bed. oooo

I'm up to epi 4, The KGB Rock Club.

 

Did any of you ever listen to This American Life, like the episode of the rancher in Texas with a pet Brahman Bull named Chance, and how he had it cloned?

 

 

To me this podcast Wind of Change is of that quality of journalism.

 

I'm loving it. I'm enjoying the intrigue.

Last month I listened to the Barton Gellman interview on Fresh Air, his involvement meeting Edward Snowden and reporting the Wikileaks. That was a fascinating piece, especially Gellman's traveling to Russia to interview Snowden, and how he was able to get back out without surrendering any of the interview content. But for me Wind of Change is the more entertaining listen.

 

The rest of the episodes are at the Spotify link. Enjoy!! I did.
