The start of the Cuban revolution & the launch of Apollo 8 (222)

<p>The phrase “history is human” was coined by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough. He says “History is about life. It isn&apos;t just about dates and quotations from obscure treaties and the like; it&apos;s about people&quot;, which is exactly what Cold War Conversations is about.<br/><br/>I discovered this phrase listening to the <a href='https://pod.link/1591095413'>History Daily podcast</a> presented and narrated by Lindsay Graham. This podcast takes you back in time to explore a momentous moment that happened &quot;on this day&quot; in history using fully immersive, sound design, original music and a compelling narrative style. </p><p>I really enjoy it and I&apos;m sure you will too.   I am sharing two short Cold War episodes on this bonus episode.
