The new movie about the ‘Father of the Atom Bomb’, “OPPENHEIMER” is a huge critical success and performing far beyond box office expectations. It was released to coincide with some very grim anniversaries, including the 78th anniversary of the destruction of the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Was dropping these first bombs the only way to end World War II? Why did Oppenheimer and other bomb inventors appear to suddenly switch gears and oppose the development of the much more powerful hydrogen bomb?
Our returning guests are two recent residents of Albuquerque, New Mexico, located very close to where the first nuclear bombs were developed and tested. One is our co-founding co-host of this podcast, Kassia. How did years of nuclear testing affect the people of the region? What about today? Kassia gives us a fascinating tour of the Trinity Test site today, where the very first bomb was exploded.
