The Kyshtym Nuclear Disaster of 1957 | Episode 61

This episode contains fart jokes about radiation victims. Viewer discretion is advised.

On today’s episode: we’ll watch POWs compete for food in a House Hunters International style format, we’ll visit some of the more irradiated places in eastern Europe, and we’ll learn the difference between a burp and a fart explosion-wise.

I’d also like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a PATREON member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 minutes longer as we looked into dead cold war spies, the Instagrammers of the Siberian Maldives, the British sci-fi show lifted directly from this disaster and placed on the moon - Space 1999, the awful reality of nuclear dirty bombs, we visited the single most nuked place on earth, we learn why meteors pretty much have no choice but to kill us, and I gave you a chance to get in on the ground floor of my bullet ant stinging business

The 1957 Kyshtym Disaster is recognized as the world's first truly major nuclear disaster, ranking third in severity behind only Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi. And yet, despite its incredible pedigree and importance, knowledge of it has faded or slipped purposefully into history’s dustbin, largely unknown to the rest of the world
