TV producer Anna Winger recently released her miniseries “Transatlantic” on Netflix. Before her TV career, Anna was a photographer and radio broadcaster. She was born in the United States but made her home in Berlin, where she produced around 200 of her “Berlin Stories”. The stories were aired on National Public Radio of the USA (NPR) and were about odd happenings during the Cold War, encoded Secret Service messages transmitted over the radio, and a young clubber from Berlin who swam across the Spree one night to visit her favourite club. In this podcast episode, Anna also tells the story of her childhood – which she spent listening to the radio in places like Kenya and Mexico – and talks about her favourite podcasts.
