Building Nukes... for Dummies

In this episode, Sinead and Alex cheerfully dive into the totally chill, everyday task of building your very own nuclear weapons program.

They unpack the shady dealings of the nuclear black market, explain why "DIY nuke kits" haven’t quite caught on yet, and explore how human incompetence can be both humanity’s savior and biggest liability in nuclear proliferation.

Plus, they give a crash course on Iran's totally-not-suspicious nuclear aspirations and sprinkle in some existential dread about what all this means for our already anxiety-ridden geopolitical hellscape. Enjoy!
