Time Zero

09: A Doomsday Gap (Part 02)


Listen Later

In the second half of A Doomsday Gap, we continue to dive into nuclear deterrence and mutual assured destruction, unpacking how atomic anxiety underscored the Space Race, suburban architecture, UFO sightings, billionaire behavior, and even.. lithography? 

New York-based performance artist Michael Smith walks us through his snack bar that turns into a government approved fallout shelter. Alex Boeschenstein, an interdisciplinary printmaker and photographer in Austin, Texas, explains the Southwestern Uncanny and introduces listeners to the podcast's first feline guest, Cow Boss. And artists Cara Despain and Trevor Paglen both return to talk about why there never was, and never wil be, a civilian space program. 

Next week is our final episode. Thanks for listening.
