I listen to numerous podcasts, too many even - but this is one of only a couple I'll immediately listen to whenever a new episode is released. Genuinely fascinating. It was (strangely) a love of Joy Division/New Order & Factory Records, and an interview with Mark Reeder (Factory's man in Berlin) that first led me to Cold War Conversations. As someone who is fascinated by this period of history anyway, it was quite an introduction - hearing of his time dealing with the DDR authorities in a music capacity, and having the Stasi looking over his shoulder. This great podcast covers all aspects of the Cold War and all countries. Protest and survive!
