“With ‘Wind of Change,’ I did it as a podcast and not as an article because I knew from the start that it would end in an ambiguous place. Listen to Keefe’s award-winning podcast, Wind of Change, to hear about the possible link between a West German power metal band, the fall of the Berlin wall, and the CIA. How does one distinguish a credible line of inquiry from a conspiracy? Rolling Stone describes Keefe as “an obsessive reporter and researcher, a master of narrative nonfiction.” His work has also appeared in The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, Slate, and other publications.įrom New York’s Chinatown to Northern Ireland, Keefe’s books have investigated international human smuggling operations, global surveillance, and more. He is also the creator and host of the eight-part Cold War podcast Wind of Change. Patrick Radden Keefe is an award-winning staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of four books including the New York Times bestsellers Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, which was awarded the Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction and was a finalist for the FT Business Book of the Year, and Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland, which received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Orwell Prize for Political Writing, and and Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks(2022), a best book of the year pick for Goodreads and The New Yorker.
