    Harold Macmillan, Part 1
    Dec 8 2025

    A new series on former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, a man born in the Victorian era who led Britain into her thermonuclear age and through the Cuban Missile Crisis.


    This episode starts with his horrible experiences in the trenches and takes us up to his 1954 appointment as Defence Secretary, but we take in Greek tragedy, adultery, plane crashes and a bit of Ronnie Kray on the way.

    This week, Jim retreats into daydreams, and Hilda dishes out hard truths at the kitchen sink. Which one is best equipped to face the coming horror: the dreamer or the realist?


    PS I left one of my puppy's snores in the recording as it was cute. I used to sometimes do this with Bomba's snores, so here is one of Gadget's.

Perfect pieces were read, Julie. Again, due to being a superhobo, I'm looking forward to my copy. Only you should do the audible.

Awesome Podcast

The Atomic Hobo podcast clearly isn't for everyone. Most people are reticent to even THINK about nuclear war, let alone soak in the subject matter. People tend to believe the risk of nuclear conflict has diminished since the end of the Cold War. But as the nuclear game is being played with more and more decks as time goes on, the chance of a nuclear exchange increases, while the options for deterrence are reduced. The Atomic Hobo stares the demon directly in the eyes and asks the question, "What if?"

brain fodder for the nuclear obsessed

Ever since a rerun of the Day After scared the heck out of me as a kid, I’ve been intensely interested in the subject. So, lots of great detail even for someone who already knows a lot.

In short, a podcast made with love and care about the worst thing that could possibly happen :)

Great show for people interested in the subject or for morbid fun
