Somehow missed this one. Incredible episode
What's the name of the Russian song???
Good show as usual. For more on John Coster-Mullen—he's a fascinating guy—there's a great piece in the New Yorker from some years back: <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/12/15/atomic-john" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/12/15/atomic-john</a>
Thank you very much. I shared this on my Facebook page but didn't know how to identify you, but if you do want to be identified in any other citations, just give me a name (real or otherwise) to thank you by.
i have no problem believing sainis know his stuff but i feel he is rather limited in his views, a bit too manichean imo tho. I feel someone like gordon prather would have been way more interesting. someone who worked on nuclear weapons at lawrence livermore national lab
Hi Nick. Well, Sainis was a great and very courteous interviewee and seemed impressive to me. I'm happy to talk to people with other views but the problem is most of them have signed life-time confidentiality agreements, and hate people like me and Mark anyway. If you know anyone who might be willing to talk to us, please ask them to contact me.
