New! Unidentified--Dirty bombs and dirty deeds at Area 51
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026

We continue our exploration of the (actual) history of Area 51, this time emphasizing some of the truly awful, irresponsible, and dangerous stuff that went on there--not just nuclear tests, but a simulated dirty bomb explosion with radiation that should clear up in about fifty thousand years, plus an nauseating story about poisoning employees and then refusing to acknowledge said poisoning because the place where they worked doesn't even officially exist. Next time: one of the weirdest goddamned stories we've ever covered. And it's from an otherwise sensible book. I KNOW! Can't wait for you to hear about it. Hosted on Acast.
