A Silly Name for the H-Bomb

Atomic Hobo - Nuclear War Podcast ·

2025/03/20

The 1950s trend - which caused mockery and anger - for calling the hydrogen bomb "clean" or "humanitarian".

This Is Only A Jingle

Atomic Hobo - Nuclear War Podcast ·

2025/01/20

The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) was set up in 1963 to alert Americans, via TV and radio, of nuclear attack. Stations were required to test the EBS once a week, but some got bored of reading the same sombre script, and tried to recite the script as a jaunty jingle. Nuclear war delivered with some easy listening?I have a bonus podcast episode out NOW on the 1971 event when an EBS test went wrong, and was broadcast across America as a real alert.
