My Nuclear Life

Physics #13

On July 16, 1945, in a New Mexico desert, the Trinity Test ushered in the Nuclear Age. No other piece of technology has penetrated the American consciousness like the nuclear bomb and found a place in everything from culture to medicine. This podcast explores how nuclear science has impacted and changed our world in both beneficial and destructive ways. We explore the intersection of nuclear science and society using interviews with historians, policymakers, experts in their fields, and first-hand accounts to weave a picture of your nuclear life.

    Very interesting podcast
    Started listening after seeing the Oppenheimer movie and now can’t stop. Especially enjoying the Cold War episodes but the physics, the films, the looking ahead to the future are all fascinating.
