About this episode

The episode explores a secret Cold War era nuclear bunker at The Greenbrier Resort, its purpose, and its history until its exposure by journalist Ted Gup.

I toured a former Cold War era secret government bunker under The Greenbrier Resort. Formerly known as Project Greek Island, this bunker was meant for members of Congress to wait out nuclear war, before emerging to legislate whatever remained. Let's talk about the bunker, its development and features, and the dedicated team who secretly kept the bunker ready to use for over 30 years until it was exposed by journalist Ted Gup in an article cleverly titled "The Last Resort."
