66. The Chernobyl Disaster Part 3
Grab your glass and get cozy, let’s talk about.. the world’s largest nuclear disaster! In the third and final part of our Chernobyl series, we will be wrapping up what transpired years after the disaster and what the area is like today. Join us as we get into the investigation, trial, and conviction of those that were held responsible for the nuclear reactor explosion. We will also discuss how the hazardous site was finally contained from the rest of the world, a new terrifying discovery within the plant, and if there are any current dangers we should be concerned about today. On the lighter side of things, we threw in plenty of urban legends, myths, and conspiracy theories; because who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory!? We’ve got zombies, mothman, aliens.. The list goes on! Listen to find out more and let us know if you would still be game to visit the Chernobyl exclusion zone after all of this. Make sure to check out our socials and add to the conversation. As always, answer our questions at the end and we might read your response on next week's show!

65. The Chernobyl Disaster Part 2
Grab your glass and get cozy, let’s talk about.. the world’s largest nuclear disaster! In Part 2 of our 3 Part series on the Chernobyl disaster we will be discussing the immediate after effects of the deadly 1986 explosion. Join us as we deep dive into the efforts taken to not only clean up the highly radioactive debris from the accident site but also the steps that were taken to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. Not only were the dangerous levels of radiation threatening all of those in the vicinity, it was beginning to spread to other countries and the threat of further disasters were looming. We will tell you all you need to know about the fires that threatened the plant, the people involved in the clean up and cover up, the evacuations, the thousands of “liquidators” that risked their lives with no hesitation, those that suffered from acute radiation syndrome and the medical teams that fought to keep them alive. Would all of these heroic sacrifices be worth it in the end, though? Listen now to find out more! Make sure to check out our socials and add to the conversation. As always, answer our questions at the end and we might read your response on next week's show!
