Eric Schlosser: "Command and Control"

His book "Fast Food Nation" forever changed the way we think about what we eat. Now Eric Schlosser turns his keen eye, journalistic prowess, and signature storytelling to an equally urgent subject: nuclear weapons. With the pacing of a techno-thriller, "Command and Control" takes us to the rolling hills and small farms of Damascus, Arkansas, and into the struggle to prevent the explosion of a ballistic missile carrying the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States. Don’t miss the chance to get to the heart of our nuclear age. He is joined in conversation by attorney and former WBEZ program host Gretchen Helfrich.

thanks for posting but poor sound quality is VERY frustrating, so bad that it becomes almost impossible to listen to!

Agreed. Fortunately there are better recordings on KZbin from him on this topic.
