Welcome to Season 2 of Red Dust Tapes.
We commence this second season as far as you can possibly get from the usual Red Dust Tapes territory, in The Land of the Blizzard, Antarctica.
It’s also just 67 years ago – so far more recent than most of my tales.
But John ’Snow’ Williams is a great storyteller. In this case recalling his time at Wilkes Station, in 1958, during the International Geophysical Year.
This was deep into the Cold War era, with the US and Russia trading frightening threats. But among other things, John talks of convivial encounters with the Russians.
John's early days in the Deep South were also filled with high drama.
