A slightly longer podcast than usual today, as the event I look at actually happened over October 11 and 12, 1986 -- the summit meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev held in Reykjavik, Iceland.  Those talks centered on nuclear weapons, an issue that's very much on everyone's mind today, 20 years later. Today's music is "Tracy's Lament," by <a href="http://www.seraphicpanoply.com/">Seraphic Panoply</a>.  I found it at <a href="http://www.podsafeaudio.com">PodsafeAudio</a>.  Theme music is composed and performed by <a href="http://www.drysmoke.com">Marc Rose</a>.

Episode #7 -- The Reykjavik Summit

A look at the events and culture of the (relatively) recent past -- twenty, or sometimes thirty, years ago from the day of posting.  The 1980s. The 1990s.  People.  Society.  Books, movies, television and video games.  Crime and justice.  War and disasters.  It's all here, seen through the lens of my own memory.  Learn or remember about days not so long gone, and see how what happened then affects us today -- all in less than ten minutes per episode.
