“The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance” podcast takes listeners on a tour of the Cold War’s most secretive battlefields. It details the various ways spies, intelligence agencies, military and security services on both sides of the Iron Curtain “played” the Cold War and it finds that the conflict was very much a global and, at times, a very “hot” Cold War. This award-winning podcast takes recently declassified documents and reveals that not every alliance was sacred, that military assistance was an ‘export commodity’, and that fake news was an old tool from the Cold War spy kit.

Ep.4: Best friends ... for a short time

A year is a long time. You can start a friendship, become BFFs and end it – all in a matter of one year. How? Listen to Episode 4 in which we dissect the very unlikely and until now undisclosed friendship between Cuba and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War.

Dr. Jan Koura – Assistant professor at the World History department at Charles University in Prague explains that there was the obvious conflict between the East and the West, but also a less visible and unexpected competition among countries from the same Cold War camp.
