Introducing Things That Go Boom

Coming Jan. 22 from PRI and Inkstick Media

Words: Laicie Heeley
Pictures: Marc Johns
Date:

The trailer for our new podcast, Things That Go Boom, is now live!

Things That Go Boom is a new podcast from Public Radio International (PRI) and Inkstick Media that explores national security and foreign policy in a way that doesn’t make you want to gouge out your eyes. You don’t have to be an expert to tune in. Just grab a cup of whatever you like and pull up a seat. Things That Go Boom digs into the big stories – and the stories you’ve never heard – through a combination of narrative storytelling; short, accessible explainers; and frank conversations with experts in the field.

The podcast will launch January 22, 2018. It is produced by Tracy Wahl, former Executive Producer of NPR’s Morning Edition, and hosted by me, Inkstick’s Editor, Laicie Heeley. Among other issues, it will explore how much security is too much security, how we treat veterans with post-traumatic stress, and what deterrence has to do with being an eleven-year-old boy.
