Nuclear Fear: the Prologue

About this episode

Julie McDowall shares Part One of the Prologue from her unpublished book 'NUCLEAR FEAR', discussing its themes and the possibility of crowdfunding for publication.

A different episode from the usual: this is Part One of the Prologue from my second book, NUCLEAR FEAR. Unfortunately, it cannot find a publisher. NUCLEAR FEAR was to be a book about the pop culture inspired by the bomb and our fear of nuclear war. I wonder should I ditch it? No publisher wants it, but do nuclear nerds want it? Over on my Patreon page some have suggested crowdfunding to publish it myself. Well, listen to the Prologue and let me know what you think. This is Part One, and I'll upload the second part tomorrow. Remember you can get ad-free listening and bonus episodes, and join our nuclear book club, THE DOOMSDAY LIBRARY, on my Patreon at www.patreon.com/atomichobo Thank you, Julie Hosted on Acast.
