The Comfortable Spot with Robert Jacobs

The Comfortable Spot

Today my guest is Robert (Bo) Jacobs. Robert is a historian of Science and Technology at the Hiroshima Peace Institute and Graduate School of Peace Studies at Hiroshima City University. He has published widely on the interface of nuclear technologies with human beings and communities. His book Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha was published by Yale University Press in 2022. Nuclear weapons have once again come into the spotlight with the ongoing war in Ukraine, and I thought it would be useful to get a wide picture of the history and future of these weapons, so I hope you are sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.
