Testimonials

“I am the author of Forgiveness and Violets, a memoir about my childhood in former Czechoslovakia. It matters to me how my work is presented, how people react to sensitive topics like politics, religion, trauma, poverty and others. Ian’s honest interest in many topics and openness to learning new details about people’s lives and past events is particularly important. A true professional wants the other people they cooperate with to feel valued and understood. 

Ian’s personality and his Cold War Conversations podcast are a great experience for authors and other creatives who aim at an authentic presentation of their work”

I have really enjoyed my two conversations on CWC – a fantastic platform for authors to discuss their books, connect with listeners and communicate their passion with ever increasing audiences. Ian is brilliant at getting the best from his guests – he certainly was with me! From the many tweets and other comments on social media it’s also clear that being on CWC really helps with book sales. My own book, Beyond, about the race to put the first human in space, has definitely benefited in that respect! All in all a great podcast. Can’t wait to do it again.”
