Wow! This show is incredible! Shelly is brilliant at making all the discussions accessible and has some wonderful guests.
Even if you're not interested in physics or nuclear energy or history or warfare, try a couple of episodes and you'll be engrossed!
Thanks for putting this podcast together.
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.
Shelly makes nuclear science so fun and interesting! The stories and insights she sharing makes this a really engaging and educational listen.
