    EP56: Doom Inflation -the Doomsday Clock
    Mar 26 2023

    Recently, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the minute hand of the "Doomsday Clock" to 90 seconds to midnight. Since 1947, the clock has been a symbol of existential dread. But has it outlived its purpose?

    This is a short one. It's a show update for the new YouTube series on the alternate end of the Cuban Missile Crisis on this 60th Anniversary. And a little speculation on how things might have been. I have lots to share on the new channel https://www.youtube.com/@coldwarvault

    The new series is just a start. Come see what I'm building there and subscribe.

I love it. it's like Dr Kinney sifted through all the declassified documents most of Us are too lazy to review, make connections, verify these connections and tell the output of that analysis through a great story.

fantastic! Addictive! Totally scary...

Stories behind the stories of what I took for granted as a child growing up in a large NE urban city, Life of sheltering in the basement of our school and donning gas masks. I still see those fallout shelter signs now and again. Nostalgic in a somewhat macabre but informative and entertaining way.

Informative return to days of nuclear attack drills in elementary school.

Great episode as always, but I'd like to make two additions:
The first is an extremely rare film from the early 60s- "Ladybug, Ladybug" about a group of high school students sent home from school after an atomic alert.
The second is "Testament" from the early 80s. A gut-wrenching work made by PBS about a suburan California family as their world crumbles after the (unseen) devastating nuclear exchange.

Don't expect much action from either of these, rather they challenge the viewer to think what their own reactions might be.

Two omissions

Great insights to some matters & details I don't think I've ever heard of elsewhere.

Topics, insights and narration are all terrific.

It is read haltingly. I found that quite distracting. If a better reader could be found perhaps it would be better .
