Cold War Conversations

Ian Sanders — FRHistS; independent Cold War historian and broadcaster; NYT-recommended

Ian Sanders' weekly Cold War podcast — interview-led, 450+ episodes since 2018, NYT-recommended. Sanders works the full period, from the Berlin Airlift through to the fall of the USSR, with veterans, academics, and intelligence specialists who often have stories they've never told publicly before. The format is unhurried and Sanders stays out of the way; the depth comes from the guests.
