The Cold War - Interview with Audra Wolfe and Patrick Wyman | 8 (Ad-free)

By: Wondery

We’re closing out our series on the Cold War with two interviews with fascinating historians. First, we’re talking with Audra Wolfe, the author of Competing with the Soviets: Science, Technology, and the State in Cold War America, and the writer of this first six-part series of American History Tellers. Then, we take a seat in the way-back machine with Patrick Wyman, host of the hit podcasts Fall of Rome and Tides of History. We’ll investigate how the Cold War standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union compares to another much earlier rivalry between ancient Rome and the Sassanid Persians. They might not have pointed nuclear warheads at each other, but the conflict was nonetheless tense and protracted.

Homelessness in America

Could you review the homeless problem in America? Include what is proposed to alleviate the suffering these folks and families endure everyday. And please dig deep as to why funds to help the homeless, are so confusing to acquire, and why funds are squandered and misused, on offices and personnel. Please answer why it takes forever for the homeless to receive these funds and what is proposed to make funds easily assessable?

Very good overview of Cold War

Very good review of Cold War and political interests of US in the second half of the 20th century.

Great narration & storytelling w/ effects!.

Wonderfully done. I'm 44 and know a fair amount of this history. I couldn't declare that it's bias and the facts seem to line up. Always curious about this, as it can easily sway/ create bias or belief in the listener that is false by omitting truth or facts by the storyteller/director.

Great surprise! Loved it.

I hadn’t heard anything about this, but thought I’d give it a try. So glad I did. I felt as though I was spoonfed so much history in such a short period of time. I love the format, love this podcast. I’m looking forward to the next topic which I believe is prohibition.
