Oppenheimer: "Look What You Made Me Do"

This week on Right Answers Mostly, we’re diving into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” haunted genius, and reluctant face of America’s most destructive creation. But don’t worry, we’re not leaving you in the fallout without a soundtrack. We’re breaking down Oppenheimer’s journey with a little help from Taylor Swift’s greatest hits, because sometimes the only way to understand the Manhattan Project is to say, "look what you made me do." From his bohemian youth, to the ethical torment that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to his public trial and humiliation during the Red Scare, we’ll ask whether Oppenheimer was the tragic anti-hero of his own story, or just a man stuck in a cycle politics, paranoia, and power. History is just gossip after all, even when discussing the Atomic Bomb. Created and produce by Tess Bellomo & Claire Donald For more RAM, follow us here!
