Headlines like this make me want to order loads of posh perfumes on my credit card. Why shouldn't I watch the flash whilst *reeking* of Guerlain?

After a probably ill-advised late night watch of ‘A House of Dynamite’ led me on some pod searches I stumbled on Atomic Hobo from @nuclearwar.bsky.social Really scary and interesting stuff. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Worse than Threads? As we discuss in the latest pod episode, in 1981 a Defence Minister told Parliament the Russkies would need ONE THOUSAND MEGATONS to target our (dispersed) cruise missiles. That's a scenario five times worse than Threads. pod.fo/e/4d7892

On my ATOMIC HOBO podcast, we're going through the juicy stuff I found in the archives at London South Bank University. I'm sharing the archives on my Patreon page, but here's a snippet: surviving a nuclear blast by leaping into a pool with heavy clothes on. (Link to join us in the comments!)

Got my Threads and The War Game BluRays today from @severinfilms.bsky.social , and it comes with a miniature copy of Protect and Survive. I said "aw cute!" when I saw it. First time Protect and Survive has ever been described as "cute"?

From my nuclear archives: can anyone decipher the first word in the underlined section? It's SOMETHING with the unthinkable.

Our first nuclear book club video, and I've made it free to view. We're looking at The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, set thousands of years after the nuclear holocaust. WATCH THOU FOR THE MUTANT!

I recently re-read that (having had the book mutiliated by ‘classroom reading’ at age 15). It’s shocking all the way through, and another triumph by Wyndham - a much overlooked sci-fi writer who produced many excellent works IMO.
