I’ve got a podcast! When I watched the nuclear war film Threads at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.
I started the pod to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans. Out now!

Clinton bombed Iraq when he was under pressure over Lewinsky.
Trump bombed Nigeria to get the Christian vote back on side after Epstein.
