A new documentary drama looking at one of the most controversial and consequential decisions ever made in the White House Oval Office: President  Harry S. Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Educational and accessible, the podcast looks at the events through the perspectives of Truman and Emperor Hirohito in Japan. Expert voices provide insight and context, with the podcast posing the question whether the bomb’s use could ever be justified. It is a high quality production, all the more surprising when it hasn’t had a big financial backer. To support the project, you can donate through Buy Me A Coffee.
