Guest: Chernobyl's Death Toll

Yes, I do watch a lot of Adam Curtis documentaries. How could you tell? Today we're talking about Chernobyl! Its death toll, the confusion around the number, how Chernobyl helped cause the fall of the USSR, how it helped create the conditions for the modern day situation Ukraine finds itself in, general political intrigue, and how a lot of these conversations have to be had in the context of nuclear power's crucial role in avoiding catastrophic climate change.

Sorry, Mr Conover. I still love your series Adam Ruins Everything! (The alternative title for this was 'Why Are Diamonds Actually Expensive? But, I mean, no one's gonna click that. There's a gajillion videos saying the exact same thing about it and that title would blend into the menagerie of people who'd say "De Beers We Know!" You gotta go with the provocative clickbaity title, sometimes.)
