This week Joe, Kevin, and Toren are joined by Dr. Rob Tarzwell for a look at nuclear weapons. From “The Gadget” to Fat Man & Little Boy to the incredible destructive power of the fusion-powered “H-Bomb”, plus the world’s smallest nuclear weapon – the Davy Crockett recoilless nuclear gun! We’ll look at the timeline and effects of nuclear explosions, “Peaceful Nuclear Explosions”, and a special (and completely arbitrary) selection of nuke-related movies and video games.

Music: “Tic, Tic, Tic” by Doris Day
