Stuart Galbraith Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Yeah, it's a bit good innit. I can't make head not rail of it, other than the map showing her presence in Wales might indicate internment in the isle of man. Also, tell your brother about that cold war conversations link as well. I'm fact, he would probably be a good candidate for an interview.

Stuart Galbraith Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 2 really good podcasts on the CIA and the development and testing of LSD. https://coldwarvault.podbean.com/e/ep30-science-and-the-cia-part-1-the-curious-case-of-frank-olson/In 1953, a CIA experiment with LSD triggered deep depression in a Department of Defense biochemist. Dr. Frank Olson committed suicide - or was murdered - a few days later. This story is a lense through which we will delve into the shadowy history of the CIA's experimentation with psychedelic drugs and mind control. https://coldwarvault.podbean.com/e/ep31-science-and-the-cia-part-2-mkultra-and-midnight-climax/This episode delves into the origin and realities of the sometimes mundane (and sometimes insane) world of MKULTRA and particularly its most lurid episode: Subproject 42, also known as Operation Midnight Climax. Sex and the CIA. This time on the Cold War Vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Really great podcast on Cold War Conversations from a guy who was in the Special Forces detatchment in Berlin, whose job among other possible taskings was attacking the Headquarters of GSFG at Zossen Wunsdorf....https://coldwarconversations.com/episode120/His book looks pretty fascinating too.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06WLLJPGB/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Nice. There has been a lot of discussion elsewhere whether it was Ames or Robert Hannsen that was responsible for the most damage. A lot of what subsequently turned out to be Hannsens work was initially dropped on Ames. I still think Ames was responsible for blowing Gordievsky though.

RETAC21 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cold War related but not a podcast: https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2020/04/06/memories-of-burtonwood-airbase/#prettyPhoto Army Depot Burtonwood, where treasures slept for years: "Pictured below are some of the 600 iconic “Willys Jeeps” which were stored at Burtonwood in the later years. One jeep built in 1947,when it was being serviced in 1990 had ONLY 17 miles on the clock! It had never been in service and the only time it moved was for service or being moved around the warehouse. " It wasn't part of the POMCUS depots but it seems it had enough stuff to equip a division or 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 One of the episodes of that podcast is actually recorded at Burtonwood museum. I gather they actually have one of those jeeps still there. It was a seriously major facility postwar, one that has been all but forgotten.

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Latest episode of Cold War Conversations has a conversation with a US Army Analyst who had the job of evaluating data on the OOB of GSFG. Really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Really quite a nice podcast on various parts of the cold war seldom touched on.

Stuart Galbraith Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 'The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance' continues to publish interesting new information ive not seen before. The latest is on polish intelligence operations in Beirut in the 1960's. Its more interesting than it sounds, they planned to use it as a WW3 spy hub. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-9-spying-blind-among-cedar-trees/id1509418218?i=1000498517173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 There is another one that popped up that I recommend listening to. There was a book on Air America I read some 3 decades ago, that refered to a strange guy who flew for them called 'Weird Neil', whom was the inspiration for the Mel Gibson character in the film of the same name. Well he was just on cold war conversations, and he is absolutely facinating. His description of the fall of Cambodia is well worth listening to by itself. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flying-for-the-cias-air-america-in-south-east-asia-233/id1363778974?i=1000559154960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 If my recollection of what was in Wheels and Tracks at the time is correct, it was a hell of a lot of M151 Jeeps. Possibly Trucks and Gama Goats also, but I wouldnt trust my memory that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
