サマリー
あらすじ・解説
WGLT's Twelve Thousand Bombs podcast examines the history, science and policy behind the United States nuclear program—and why the threat of a nuclear conflict is as high as it’s ever been. The first episode explores the current presidential candidates’ platforms—or lack thereof—on nuclear weapons, plus a primer on questions like: What is the football? Why is the president the only one who can authorize a nuclear strike? What are the checks and balances around a president’s use of nuclear weapons should he/she become compromised in some way? (Spoiler: Not many.)
