Decades later, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. This is his journey to find the truth. Wind of Ch... more

Reviews
- Good mixture
What I appreciate about this series, besides the fine entertainment, is the background information and research about the circumstances: secret service ways, Cold War politics, the festival, eccentric personas. More than the original question, which is in my opinion not really corroborated. Nicely peculiar considerations on „Rorschach“. A likable interview with Klaus (I believe him, but I’m a fan;)). more

Fascinating tale involving one of my all-time favorite bands, The Scorps. So incredibly well done and thought provoking. I have tickets to their rescheduled residency in Vegas this spring and I’m looking forward to it even more after this podcast!

Compelled to write a review because of how horrid that was. Host seems to have gone to the conspiracy buzz word well to draw inspiration. Such great proof as “I trusted him because he seemed to trust the person who told him”, “its to insane not to be true”. 40 minutes and possibly 2 minutes of chat only on the actual subject, the other 38 minutes spent on juvenile ramblings on a Wikipedia level detail on spy craft. Great premise, insanely poorly executed.
