by David Prior Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray... can Billy Joel help disentangle one of the most complex yet relatively unexplored periods in modern history? We Didn’t Start The Fire (WDSTF) is the name of a new history podcast, launching today, and will investigate the fraught nature of American, Korean and Cuba-Soviet Union relations from 1949 to 1991. It's produced by Manchester-based audio-on-demand network Crowd Network, and will each week use a line from Billy Joel’s seminal song to unravel a different topic associated with the subject. The start of the series will join the dots between American cinema starlets, the rise of communism in East Asia and the advent of television in homes across the West.
