Crazy concept of CIA writing hit song that helped topple USSR. The show uses this story as a way to tell decades of history about CIA Covert action

An intriguing first episode of this series that investigates the claim that the CIA wrote a hit song that was instrumental in the fall of the Berlin Wall.

But not enough to look into it enough due to the thought that "Its probably talking about a song or band I wont be familiar with." If the title of this podcast ...Show More
