This podcast series is a journey through history, one guided by the lyrics of Billy Joel's song 'We Didn't Start the Fire'. Join us for an educational and fun exploration of the events, people, and inventions that helped to shape the modern world during the Cold War. These roughly half-hour episodes place a microscope on each of Billy Joel's lyrics, discovering the rich detail that helps breathe life into the past.
