About this listen

In 1989, the world entered a new era. This episode explores the fall of the Berlin Wall, citizen protests across Eastern Europe, the rise of Solidarity in Poland, the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, and the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu in Romania. It also covers the Tiananmen protests in China, the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Exxon Valdez environmental disaster, the first proposal for the World Wide Web, the launch of the Game Boy, and the pop culture that closed the 1980s. A year of falling walls, suppressed hopes, new technologies, and the beginning of another world.
