In this explosively strange episode of The Strange History Podcast, Amy takes you deep into the New Mexico desert, where nuclear secrets were born—and stolen. Learn how the hush-hush Manhattan Project gave rise to one of the most unexpected spy rings in U.S. history, and meet the quirky cast of real-life characters: Klaus Fuchs, the physicist-turned-Soviet-agent; Harry Gold, the guilt-ridden courier; and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the couple who paid the ultimate price. From covert meetings in Santa Fe cafés to atomic blueprints passed under the noses of the FBI, this story is packed with danger, drama, and a surprising amount of enchiladas. It's espionage, but make it weird.

This episode of The Strange History Podcast was lovingly crafted with the help of ElevenLabs.io — the magical technology that gives Amy her time to sleep, eat, work and spend time with her dog Jack. While some might say she sounds too good to be true, we assure you, Amy is absolutely a real person… who just happens to have access to studio-grade AI vocal cords and an unnatural ability to pronounce “necromancy” without flinching. Any resemblance to an AI is purely coincidental — and mildly flattering. Dan the announcers name is really Bill and Patrick, the fake ad guy who thinks he is funny? well he is questionable at best. So yes, AI was used but the people are real and the shinanigans are.... well.... shinanigans.
