IDSG Bonus Ep8 Physics and Desert Country

As solemnly promised, here is your second bonus episode of August, to make up for not getting one in July.  

A general chat in which Daniel and myself react to some news, and Daniel tells me about his visit to a museum while on his holidays.  More interesting than it sounds, hopefully.

Content warnings for some discussions of atrocity and war, and one satirical use of a slur (by me).  

Also, owing to technical difficulties, this episode doesn't have the absolute greatest sound, but it's perfectly listenable.

Just listened to this and I might be the only one but I'm very interested in listening more on Jack's history about the Imperial War Museum. Another episode on that, please!

Daniel, re the Iraq War, did you ever read the quarterly SIGIR Reports? (Special Inspector General in Iraq Reports). They were published on the State Dept website. Help you understand how we burned all that money including the actual trailer packed with cash.

Just began listening and have one comment: Watch Breaking Bad, Jack! You are missing out!
