From PRX’s Radiotopia Presents: Spacebridge tells a forgotten saga from the last time things were really, really bad between Russians and Americans. As their governments seemed trapped in ideological and geopolitical conflicts that doomed the world to nuclear war, a ragtag group of New Agers, rock stars, TV hosts, and tech-enthusiasts found new ways to communicate via satellite and early Internet “spacebridges.” Hosts Julia Barton (New York) and Charles Maynes (Moscow) explore a rare moment when ordinary citizens changed history by finding ways to connect — and argue — as never before. In the process, they helped create the noisy and connected world we live in now.
