S4 E1: 100 Seconds to Midnight: The History of the Doomsday Clock

S4 E1: 100 Seconds to Midnight: The History of the Doomsday Clock

I'm really excited about this episode!

I know quite a few of you already knew the history of the Doomsday Clock. It was interesting for me to do the research on it and go back to 1947. I wasn't around then, I wouldn't come along until the Vietnam war was in full swing. 

The only thing I remember about the Doomsday Clock was the Cold War. 

I found the evolution really interesting. Moving from nuclear concerns to climate change, then to disruptive technology and emerging disease. 

I hope that you enjoyed this episode as much as I did. I also hope that it helps more people understand the concept behind the 100 Seconds to Midnight episodes. 

Please feel free to let me know what you think of these episodes. I think they're a good break from specific disease and a good learning experience for me as well as you.

I gotta do everything!

You'd think that fifteen years in infectious disease would get you somewhere. Well, it got me here. I'm your host, Jackie Moranty, and I'm pleased to take you on some terrifying journeys through a genre that I like to call Pre-apocalyptic Non-fiction.
It's 100 Seconds to Midnight and the Doomsday Clock is ticking down.
