How Wrestling Explains The World: Episode 1, Part 2 – The Cold War


This week: It’s the second part of our first real episode. Turns out there’s just too much wrestling in the Cold War to cover in anything less than “a soul crushingly long time to listen to a single podcast episode,” so we split it into two separate episodes:

Part 1 focused more on how using wrestling as a way to look at the Cold War helps clear a lot of things up, while Part 2 focuses on how the Cold War informed wrestling aand its storylines as it barrelled towards unprecedented popularity.

If you liked our theme song, “Dog of War” by the Hell Yeah Babies, you should buy their (new!) album All The Things You Believe on Bandcamp

If you like the show after the theme song, rate review and subscribe to us on Podbean or iTunes.
