Atomic Show 093 – Time shifted conversation with Adam Curry (The Podfather)

ByRod Adams

On Atomic Show 093 I produced an answer show to a series of discussions about atomic energy that has been taking place on episodes 753, 754, and 755 of The Daily Source Code (DSC) (Warning, the DSC is not a family oriented show and carries the iTunes “Explicit” tag.)

One goal of my efforts with Atomic Insights and The Atomic Show is to break the old saw that claims that “the media” bears the responsibility for the hiatus in new nuclear power plant building. That may have had some truth at one time, but this is a new era. We have a story to tell and we need to tell it in as many outlets as possible.
