Podcast about the Cold War, UFOs and the Paranormal. WHAT IS THE DEAD HAND? DEAD HAND RADIO by Andrew Hall is a podcast that was created to explore the Cold War.
Besides being one of the most dangerous times in the history of civilization, the Cold War era led to unbelievable advancements in technology, science, communication, medicine, art and entertainment as well as an unprecedented period of economic growth between the years 1946 to 1991 finally ending with the collapse of the former Soviet Union. DEAD HAND RADIO will also discuss other issues of exist
ential threats to life on earth, but the main focus is on the positive impact that these threats have on our culture and our world. Some episodes will be solo, where I’ll deliver a monologue based on a thesis I’ve prepared for that episode. Other episodes will include guests who bring specific knowledge and expertise from different fields of study. My goal is to explore these topics with the audience. To learn. To educate. To entertain and exchange ideas with those interested. My invitation to you, is take this ride with me and together we’ll find out where it goes. And to present factual information about the world we live and the precarious nature of our human existence. If you or someone you know has a comment or question about, or would like to contribute to the conversation, please contact me. You can email me at [email protected] or connect with me on twitter
Thanks for listening. Andrew Hall

Dead Hand Radio
My journey as a podcaster began on March 13, 2020, during the COVID crisis. Dead Hand Radio was born from a lifelong interest in the Cold War and its impact on our world. Over time, the show drifted from its original focus. And while the conversations remained compelling, that shift diluted the core vision and fragmented the audience—ultimately leading to an extended pause.
That pause gave me the time and space to reassess the show’s direction and purpose. The result: a decision to relaunch DHR and return it to its roots, with a renewed focus on the topics that started it all.
Topics & Scope
Upcoming episodes will focus on Cold War history, tradecraft, psychological warfare, and nuclear strategy. While the show will still invite deep analysis and thoughtful speculation, topics like UFOs, the paranormal, and conspiracy theories will no longer be part of the conversation.
Channel Name
To rebuild the DHR brand and create a dedicated hub for Cold War-focused content, Dead Hand Radio will no longer be published on my personal YouTube channel or website. The show is returning to its original home at DeadHandRadio.com, with the YouTube channel located at YouTube.com/. Episodes will also be available on Spotify and other major podcast platforms.
Guests
If you—or someone you know—has an interesting topic or project to discuss and would like to be a guest on the show, reach out at [email protected]. Recording is already underway in preparation for the relaunch. While no official launch date has been set, updates will be posted on YouTube, X, Facebook, Instagram, and all of our social media channels.
Thank you for your interest and support. I’ve got much more to share with you soon.
