We’re all terrified of nuclear warfare, but are there pros in addition to the obvious cons? More importantly, how has nuclear proliferation shaped our world so far, and how will it continue to define our sociopolitical regimes in the future?

On topic things we touch upon:

The original a-bomb (Hiroshima and Nagasaki)

Cold War era poitics

Nuclear energy, safety, and future tech

Off topic things we touch upon:

Kim Kardashian’s butt

Western Canadian Hillbilly foot cutters (As of 6 May 2018, fourteen feet have been found in the Canadian province of British Columbia, and five in the US state of Washington)

Join us as we discuss these issues – and of course, fancy craft beers – in this week’s episode!
