Les essais nucléaires français

In this episode, Gaelle goes back in time, post Second World War and the midst of the Cold War, when nuclear weapons were at the center of attention. France got its first nuclear bomb in 1954 and has been a nuclear power since then. But the development and testing of those bombs had to happen somewhere and that part of French history has its share of secrets, lies and deceit. Far from the metropole, the nuclear trials are still an open wound for many people.

Meaningful subject matter and excellent delivery

I've listened to a lot of material like this to try to keep my French comprehension sharp. I do get board of fictional stories and news. This is something I would listen to in any language.
