Ever wondered what it would be like to be an undercover KGB spy, an escape across the Berlin Wall,

or a soldier patrolling the Iron Curtain?

Introducing Cold War Conversations, a weekly podcast that tells the stories of the Cold War

using the voices of those who were there. Each week we bring you powerful tales of spies, soldiers and civilians, many of which have never been heard before.

A Russian agent very briefly just whispered into my ears, you've got to come home or else you're dead.

And when they started shooting their Kalashnikovs into the trees, this is when

you stop because it's so loud right next to the ears. And that was the first time I experienced

a kind of violence from the state because suddenly the water cannons and the gas throwers and

gas bombs were out. Search for Cold War Conversations and follow us in your podcast app.

Cold War Conversations, there's nothing like hearing history from those who were there.
