- I am struggling with part two!
Part one was good and recommended. The second season, however…
When making a podcast in multiple parts, I expect it to be a link between them (which is not presented) . Listening to part two right after part one confuses me and I find it hard to understand the timelines and the links between the different stories told.

Series 1 is a message of guilt by the narrator and an anti-nuclear agenda wrapped in the guise of a documentary. I was disappointed by the lack of impartiality given this was produced by the BBC. 2 stars due to there being some interesting factual information amongst the agenda.

Historically very interesting, unfortunately told by self centered millennials that think these stories revolve around them.

United Statesa year ago - A riveting podcast - a must listen
This is an incredible podcast documenting events and discoveries which changed the world forever. Emily Strasser does a superb job of telling this story, her own personal connection to these events. This brings another depth of human experience beyond facts and dates. Once I listened to the first episode, I couldn’t stop listening. I’m going to listen to it again. It was so good.

Australiaa year ago - Drama queen -
For the parts that focused on the history, it was fine. However, the podcaster tries to make this dramatically personal because her grandfather worked at Oak Ridge. She approached it as if her grandfather was Oppenheimer, trying to wrestle with a work-related decision that would impact mankind. Her grandfather did a job during the war like many others, whether they were making ammunitions or building tanks or working at Oak Ridge. Her ‘struggle’ to understand her grandfather is incredibly conv... more
