  • Titan Missile

    One of the best podcasts I have listened to. The podcast captures not only the hardware but as well what the hardware really represents. This isn’t just a missile site but potentially could have been the end of everything.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the Making of 'Jimmy' with Justin Strawhand and Julian Works
Q: Where do you go to start building up this part of the story when you're writing the script?
Strawhand began with biographies, followed their footnotes to primary sources, and used records of specific missions to reconstruct events. He aimed to stay as factual as possible while filling gaps in the historical record in a way that would make an entertaining film.
Inside the Making of 'Jimmy' with Justin Strawhand and Julian Works
Q: Where does the idea for making the story of Jimmy Stewart at war come from?
Strawhand says his producing partner told him Stewart had flown 20 bomber missions in World War II, and he immediately saw it as a story worth making. Stewart had declined to make a film about his service, but his daughter Kelly Stewart later supported the project.
Erasing History Part 2: Is A Signature Historic?
Q: Is an autograph historic or history?
The guest suggests that the value depends on context; a signature on a painting can be dubious historically, whereas a signature on a primary document or a piece with documented provenance linked to significant historical events can carry true historical weight.
The B-1 Story | Part 4 : Today and Tomorrow
Q: What's the book about and where can people find it?
The host asks for a book plug, and the guest explains the work is titled The Supersonic Bone, A Development and Operational History of the B-1 Bomber, published by Pen and Sword in the United Kingdom, with a paperback edition in its third printing.
The B-1 Story | Part 4 : Today and Tomorrow
Q: Do we have a decade left of the B-1?
The guest suggests there may be around a decade left or a bit more, given the aircraft's age, ongoing upgrades, and the slow pace of replacement; maintenance and modernization will determine the timeline.
