Podcast Twelve - Godzilla, the EU Earthquake and ITER
Hi guys! Once again, we've been away for a while but we're back, stomping onto the scene with a Gojira-size of a show!! This month we discuss recent developments in Russo-Iranian relations, nuclear fusion at ITER, the ramifications for nuclear after the recent European elections and the new Godzilla movie (SPOILERS!!). We've got two new speakers on the show, Mark Williams and Liz Hope-Parker. Along the way we discover rollercoasters like breaking down, Godzilla may be a radioactive diabetic and Kate is campaigning for Downing Street. (Apologies, I've noticed, only after uploading, that our theme tune has played over the music in one section) Enjoy!!!

Podcast Ten - We Need to Talk About Korea?!
Hullo everyone! Hope you have been soaking up the rarity that is the British summer season!! How about listening to this months show whilst having an impromptu BBQ or when sipping on a lukewarm Pimms in a ridonkulously overcrowded beer garden? We've certainly got everything covered! We'll be talking about EDF vs the Government, 1970s Anglo-German waste policy (or lack thereof), a mysterious facility in Germany and North Korea! Hope you enjoy the show! Gunth (NB. Correction - I mention America financing Al-Qaeda during the 1980s Afghan Conflict. It was, in fact, the Mujahideen which received weapons and training. Splinter groups of the Mujahideen later formed Al-Qaeda). Download Podcast
