The photographer who captured the forgotten space race
In an abandoned hangar in Kazakhstan is the Soviet Union’s first space shuttle. It was intended to be the future of the Soviet space programme, but its first flight was its last, and ever since, it’s been picked apart for scrap metal by scavengers.
But a lot of it still remains. French photographer Jonk, who’s obsessed with abandoned spaces, went on an epic journey to break in and photograph it. The pictures are stunning.
Imogen, engagement editor The visual telling of stories Hidden behind a labyrinthine structure and a deliberately minimal and dubious navigation lie the riches Chris Warren has been meticulously compiling for at least four hours a day, every day, since 1996.
With a big part of it dedicated to Fortune magazine, a mid-century US design resource, you are bound to find incredible illustrations and infographics among a myriad other things. Just sit back and get lost.
Afonso, editorial designer Did the CIA write a rock song? The phrase "stranger than fiction" gets thrown around a lot, but the story for this podcast is a lot stranger than any Cold War spy novel. In Wind of Change, New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe sets out to discover if there’s any truth to a conspiracy that’s been doing the rounds on the internet for years. Did the CIA write a power ballad for a German band to bring down the Soviet Union with soft power?
Over eight riveting episodes, the podcast tells a story that’s as relevant as ever in our age of disinformation.
