    Euthanasia in Nuclear War
    Jul 21 2025

    A difficult subject this week - but aren't they all? We don't do sunshine and rainbows on this pod.


    I look at the topic of "suicide pills" which was bravely raised by American students at Brown in 1984, and made news all across the USA.


    The issue was also present in Britain in the early 80s, and was brought to prominence by a local doctor. I'll be interviewing him for next week's episode which will look at the British aspects of the "suicide pill" debate.

    I go into the newspaper archives to see what the local papers in Aldershot were saying about nuclear war in the early 80s.

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
