dsavitsk 3,821 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Is it possible that there is not a dedicated podcast thread yet? https://crooked.com/podcast-series/wind-of-change/ It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall has just come down. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. A heavy metal band from West Germany, the Scorpions, releases a power ballad, “Wind of Change.” The song becomes the soundtrack to the peaceful revolution sweeping Europe — and one of the biggest rock singles ever. According to some fans, it’s the song that ended the Cold War.

n_maher 10,340 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Good idea for a thread. I'll be listening to the one that you posted.

TMoney 3,341 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) I've enjoyed Michael Lewis' Against the Rules podcast the past two seasons. If you enjoy Michael's written work, you'll be right at home. First season was on the role of referees in American society, the second season was on the role of coaches. https://atrpodcast.com/ Edited June 24 by TMoney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blessingx 4,442 Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 The New York Times and Serial (thus This American Life) has released Nice White Parents.

Sherwood 1,197 Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 I just listened to the first episode of “Winds of Change”,@dsavitsk, and I’m hooked. His description of information security runs very close to my experience working in highly classified spaces — there is no “all access pass” to the good stuff. Lots of times the people who know the good stuff have no idea how good it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
