The FNPS: Episode 112 - Music of The Cold War, pt 1 (06-03-2022)

Get ready to get your history on! We're talking about the Cold War this week--what led up to it, the events through the decades, and the music that was a part of the time. (Except the Vietnam war for the most part, because that's much more common knowledge.) If you'd like to learn more beyond what I touch on in these episodes, check out this documentary, and view the entire Cold War timeline in greater detail. And don't forget to check out the Atomic Platters compilation for more early deep cuts!
