TEOTWAWKI 1 - Nuclear Weapons: A Delicate Balance

Ten apocalypses later, we're finally here. 

It's easy to forget, living our comfortable lives, that there are
hundreds of nuclear-armed missiles that could destroy
civilisation at the drop of a hat... after just one order. Or
maybe - an accident. 

In this episode, I'll talk about the history of nuclear weapons;
some of the incidents when we came closest to annihilation; and
what the world would look like after a nuclear war.
