The Survival Curve

by Marshall Poe

The Survival Curve is a podcast on nuclear risk, emerging military technology, and the fragile systems that hold modern society together. Hosted by nuclear strategy specialist Christoph and geographer and disaster management expert Becky, it explores deterrence without guardrails, regional flashpoints, technological acceleration, and what would actually happen if escalation crossed the threshold. Clear-eyed, analytical, and grounded in geography and consequence, The Survival Curve asks the central question of our time: how do we stay on the right side of risk?
