Description

For as long as they have been around, the world’s most destructive weapons have terrified, fascinated, inspired, and confounded. Through a new documentary podcast, War on the Rocks will pull back the curtain on nuclear policy to provide a better understanding of our nuclear policies and their implications. Each episode will use documentary interviews and original archival audio to investigate a puzzle or poorly-understood story from nuclear history. The podcast will interrogate the conventional wisdom of the atomic age and bring to life lesser-known stories. The series is intended to spur scholars, practitioners, journalists, and other experts to think deeply about how to engage a broader set of voices on reducing the risks and dangers of nuclear weapons.
