A Deep Dive Into The Cultural Cold War (1960) w/ Benjamen Walker

It's May 5th. This day in 1960, a British theater critic named Kenneth Tynan is hauled before a Senate sub-committee to answer questions about what is seen as his anti-American work.
It's a moment that captures the cultural and political swirl of the late 50s, which is the subject of Benjamen Walker's new audio series "Not All Propaganda Is Art, (theoryofeverythingpodcast.com...) " out now as part of the Radiotopia show "Theory of Everything." Check it out!
