Monday's pod episode is on civil defence in North Carolina. Here's the state's portrayal of radiation casualties. I like how blunt the last box is: coffins and crosses. But in the top box, is there a wee man throwing his arms up in glee? "Yassss, no obvious effects!"

Today in 1964, “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” premiered in New York City, Toronto, and London. The original release date of December 12, 1963—and a special New York City preview on November 22, 1963—were postponed after President Kennedy’s assassination.

Today's pod episode is on how Harold Macmillan would've ordered nuclear retaliation, and we look at the scenario that would've had him ordering nuclear destruction from a phone box at the side of the road. pod.fo/e/380c1f
