The Nuclear Option Podcast
Hosted by Cody Bloomfield
The Nuclear Option Podcast shares tales of nuclear fervor, folly, and fallout.
Episodes range from documenting nuclear disasters to delighting in the Wile E. Coyote comedy of the nuclear age. We cover topics such as Project Plowshares, civil defense, disasters, de facto human experimentation, and the ongoing ambiguity surrounding interpretation of the Cold War. Along the way, we'll discuss how nuclear paranoia built the national security state we know today.
We are history's ghostwriters. Our understanding of history is always in flux. The Nuclear Option Podcast aims to draw out the throughlines between the Cold War and the present, and to examine historical memory and myth.
If we're going to define conflict as existential, we must set carefully our terms for existence.
