Here are this week’s podcast recommendations:
The Bomb
This incredibly compelling podcast from the BBC is told by someone whose grandfather worked directly on the atomic bomb that dropped on Hiroshima. The story tells of the development of the bomb and the hosts personal struggle with knowing that part of her family was involved in creating the most terrifying weapon ever made.

The Daily Zeitgeist
Trying to stay on top of the news? Good luck with that. It’s nearly impossible. Into that fray, a variety of daily news summary podcasts have stepped into the fray. One of the best and more entertaining ones is The Daily Zeitgeist. This is not your typical news roundup. Prepare to laugh and be informed all at the same time. Oh, and there’s plenty of F-bombs, if that’s your sort of thing.
