Podcast Review: Wind of Change

Released in 2020 and part of Tribeca that year, this is a hypnotizing podcast full of spies, political intrigue, and cultural exchange. It knocked my socks off as a story, and an example of a great podcast with atmosphere and ambiance.

Review: The Last Soviet

Pair all of this great storytelling with a design that’s like dessert for the ears, you’ll not only be hooked on this podcast - but possibly more of Kaleidoscope’s work.
