Episode 3: The Comrade

Ted Gold is one of the five people in the townhouse when the bomb explodes. He's a student at Columbia University. And a fierce opponent of the Vietnam War. But before all that, he's just a witty, New York City kid, who loves the Yankees, Bob Dylan, and Karl Marx.  His friends say he is reliable, fearless and a ladies man. But how does a non violent kid like that end up in that townhouse in Greenwich village? What leads a 22 year old to be fearless of dying? And what does it mean, when your best-friend becomes radicalized?  This podcast was reported, written and produced by Genny Gottdiener and Gustave Muckensturm.
