Show notes

Geoffrey Asmus joins us to talk CIA coups under its most controversial head, Allen Dulles. Was he a sinister puppet master orchestrating coups against democratically elected politicians? Or a man who just loved bananas?

The show for people who like history but don't care what actually happened.
