EPISODE · Feb 16, 2022 · 35 MIN
The start of the Cuban revolution & the launch of Apollo 8 (222)
from Cold War Conversations - "vivid & compelling" The NY Times · host Ian Sanders
The phrase “history is human” was coined by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough. He says “History is about life. It isn't just about dates and quotations from obscure treaties and the like; it's about people", which is exactly what Cold War Conversations is about. I discovered this phrase listening to the History Daily podcast presented and narrated by Lindsay Graham. This podcast takes you back in time to explore a momentous moment that happened "on this day" in history using fully immersive, sound design, original music and a compelling narrative style. I really enjoy it and I'm sure you will too. I am sharing two short Cold War episodes on this bonus episode.
