“Wait, What Just Happened?!: Episode 1 — “Baking With Grandpa” is ready for your ears! If you need a break from the world, look no further. Crazy stories, crazy good fun! Our accomplishments for the week cover a wide range of little things. How do our accomplishments make us feel?  Early in the week we learned that Chris Evans is in talks to return as Captain America in the MCU in some form or another. We talk about all the excitement buzzing around his return and how the integrity of the MCU could remain intact. Monkey tail beards are a thing and we are disturbed by them! In the meantime, check out the MTB that Terrance was rocking this past week over on our Twitter account.  Family spends 9 years in a basement waiting for the end of the world. No we can't make this up. What could have prompted them to go into hiding? What forced them out of hiding, and why didn't they think anyone in the world was alive? High school girl hands out cookies, made with grandfather's ashes, at school. Seriously folks, we can't make this stuff up! Is this some weird form of cannibalism? Did anyone get sick from eating the cookies? Hoooooowwwwww did they know?! But more importantly, how did they taste? Porsche makes flying cars… actually they don't. People just think they can fly. And if they can fly, they can crash -- into the second story of a home. Drive responsibly, kiddo's!

Does the responsibility lie with the end user, or with the tech companies? Should they be held accountable by law enforcement in all companies for what they say or the actions as a direct result? Is the action these companies have taken in the past few weeks (banning hate speech and the users from these platforms) a violation of the first amendment, and why? Is it even reasonable to ask the federal government to fund and govern a world-class broadband network utility – for everyone and what would that mean for Social Media platforms?

SPY Historian Vince Houghton sat down with arms control expert Jeffrey Lewis to discuss nuclear threats from around the world, and his fascinating book, The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States: A Speculative Novel

In this episode, we tuned the radio to the song 99 Luftballons (or 99 Red Balloons) by the band Nena and talked about its connections to nuclear weapons, the Cold War arms race, and anti-nuclear protests. How did the threat of intermediate range nuclear missiles in Europe inspire Nena to write this catchy dirge? What happens when early warning systems confuse 99 balloons for UFOs and nukes? What artist will win their Grammy with a song about the dangers of Gamma Rays? Tim Westmyer and returning special guest Will Saetren (@WillSaetren) answer these questions and more. This is the 11th in our Mini-Nuke episode series, where we overthink pop culture with a smaller slice of nukes than our usual full-sized episodes.

„Sicherheitshalber“ ist der Podcast zur sicherheitspolitischen Lage in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt. In Folge 7 beschäftigt Thomas Wiegold, Frank Sauer, Carlo Masala und Ulrike Franke zuerst die Frage danach, welches Kampfflugzeug den alten Tornado der Bundeswehr ersetzen soll - und welche Implikationen diese Entscheidung für die “nukleare Teilhabe” Deutschlands hat. Als zweites wenden sich die vier Podcaster dem Klimawandel zu und erörtern, ob und inwiefern dieser sicherheitspolitische Implikationen hat. Am Ende des Podcasts stehen diesmal einige Buchempfehlungen - als Anregung zum Lesen und natürlich für alle, die noch nach Ideen für Buchgeschenke suchen. Sicherheitshalber kommt 2019 zurück. Bis dahin wünschen Thomas, Frank, Carlo und Ulrike allen Hörerinnen und Hörern schöne Feiertage und einen guten Start ins neue Jahr.

Zack, Jenn, and Alex address one of the world’s biggest threats: nuclear war. There’s a small but still very real chance that nuclear weapons will be used in our lifetimes; the gang discusses how that could happen — and what it would look like if the bomb actually went off. For Elsewhere, they end the episode on a “high” note: discussing the impact of Canada’s recent legalization of marijuana. Zack comes up with a new nuclear Pokémon, Jenn complains about “dirty hippies,” and Alex finds a way to talk about the World Cup. Throughout the episode, we drew on Alex Ward’s story about how a nuclear war kills you. As we mentioned, Worldly’s dug deep in to the possibility of nuclear war between India and Pakistan before. And here’s Yochi Dreazen’s piece on what a war between the US and North Korea would look like. We’re still at war with North Korea formally, for real. Jeffrey Lewis’s book, The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States: A Speculative Novel There’s a Tumblr of Kim Jong Un looking at things, and it makes Jenn and the Worldly crew laugh every time The Trump administration’s new nuclear strategy calls for more little nukes -- how cute. For more on the treaty we just pulled out of, check out yesterday’s episode of Today, Explained Here’s the nuclear bomb simulator Alex mentioned Here are the basic facts of Canada’s weed legalization. Zack mentioned a Brookings Institution report on how Uruguay is doing just fine after legalizing pot.

On March 21, 2020 North Korea shoots down a South Korean civilian airliner, mistaking it for a US bomber. This sets off a series of events that leads to the launching 13 nuclear armed ballistic missiles towards the United States. Several of these missiles miss their target. But not all. One bomb levels Manhattan, another hits Northern Virginia and a third lands near Mar a Lago, in Florida. 1.4 million Americans are killed. The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States by Jeffrey Lewis explains how this tragedy transpired.    The book, of course, is fiction -- Jeffrey Lewis calls it a "speculative novel."   But it is all too believable.  nd that's because Jeffrey Lewis is a nuclear security expert who has spent decades studying the North Korean nuclear program. He is the director of the Center for Non Proliferation Studies at the Monterrey Institute and is a pioneer in open source intelligence gathering and geospatial analysis. He and his team famously identified the location of North Korean missile test sites using tools available to ordinary citizens.  And 'm sure many you know him as the host of the excellent Arms Control Wonk podcast.    But now, he has taken his hand at fiction -- and his book, which takes the perspective of a government report explaining the series of mistakes and miscalculations that lead to this nuclear attack, is one of the most vital international relations books of many years -- despite the fact that it's fiction. I suspect it will be standard on international relations syllabi.  That is because the scenario he lays out is entirely plausible and the politics that enable this tragedy are very real.    We discuss the plot at length, including the miscommunications, misperceptions and just plain mistakes that lead to the events of March 22 2020. 

In today’s podcast, Aaron and Jeffrey discuss the geolocation work that underpinned Jeffrey’s research for his novel and how open source investigations can be leveraged to inform analysis.

KANGSON.  We have the (probable) location of North Korea's original enrichment site: Kangson, now called Chollima.

Jeffrey, Aaron, and Scott talk about this old, newly discovered site, the history of North Korean enrichment tracking, and the difficulty in tracking major proliferation concerns.
