While processing uranium fuel at the JCO Tokaimura Plant, Hisashi Ouchi hears a loud clap and sees a blue flash of light.

This is the season two finale. Twisted Mirror will be back in the fall. Listen to the episode opening for more details.

With the recent release of the movie Oppenheimer, this episode explores similar themes and questions as the film and would be a great accompaniment for those planning to see it.

Twisted Mirror is an ambient psychological, slow-burn horror podcast.
