Morpeth author stars in Cold War Conversations podcast

The Cold War, Warm Hearts memoir, written in her pre-married name Bridget Ashton, includes many of her striking photographs and maps from her time behind the ‘Iron Curtain’ in 1966.

Cold War Conversations is run by historian Ian Sanders. He interviews people who have stories and recollections about life during the Cold War.

He discovered Bridget’s book about her travels in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and found it particularly interesting because personal stories as far back in time as the 1960s are unusual.

This free podcast can be heard at https://coldwarconversations.com/episode352 – more than 4,000 people have listened to it so far.

When Ian interviews authors, he encourages listeners to buy the book through their local bookshops. Cold War, Warm Hearts is available at Waterstones in Morpeth and other local bookshops, as well as online.
