  • Resumen

  • The Nanda Devi Mystery: How India and America Lost a Nuclear Device is the thoroughly riveting and sometimes bizarre story of how India and America tried to install a nuclear-powered surveillance device on top of the Himalayas to snoop on China and then lost it forever. Narrated by Sashi Kumar and produced by Asiaville, it is the dramatic story of Cold War geopolitics and how the frenzy of the nuclear arms race pushed two nations to do the unthinkable. But, it is also the awe-inspiring tale of some of the world's finest mountaineers who doubled up as high-altitude spies and put themselves at unimaginable risk to execute a wild idea.

    Written by Angshuman Choudhury and Directed & Narrated by Sashi Kumar.

Occasionally over the top, but fascinating!

I was already a bit familiar with the intrigues surrounding the nuclear listening device lost near the summit of Nanda Devi. But this podcast offered many details I hadn't heard before and also provided rich background material, from geopolitical context to a information on the mountaineers who transported the device, their training, and mountaineering in general. I noticed a few factual errors, but all in all I loved the podcast--the only one I've ever convinced myself to listen to. Highly recommend!
