There has been much discussion in the past year about how badly we were prepared for the global emergency that arose from the Covid 19 pandemic.
The truth is, lots of work has been done in the background preparing us for all sorts of disasters.
But what about other global emergencies? Just how prepared are we for the likes of nuclear war for instance?
Julie McDowall, a freelance journalist specialising in the Cold War & the nuclear threat and host of ‘Atomic Hobo’ - a weekly podcast on how we prepared for nuclear war - joined Jonathan to discuss.
