The Terry Project Podcast #11: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

This week’s episode discusses anxiety around nuclear technology, including both weaponry and nuclear energy. We really upped our game here. We start with the little-known story of Vasili Arkhipov, who might have saved the world. Then, we speak to two nuclear scientists about nuclear energy. Next, we discuss nuclear technology and culture — from Strangelove to comic books. Finally, former US assistant secretary of defense, Lawrence Korb, calls in from the NATO summit in Chicago to discuss the Iranian nuclear program.
