Where may I find the podcasts?

Hello, everyone! I'm a History Master student and doing research on the disaster of Chernobyl for a paper. Could anyone tell me where I could find Craig Mazin's podcasts about the disaster?

Thank you so much!

Why on earth would use the podcasts as a source for an actual history project?!?

Because they may refer to documents, videos, photographs or books that I'm not aware of. Those will be the real source ^

The podcasts don't contain much useful information. Mazin does have a Twitter thread of the sources he used, although he's not an expert and did rather poor research.

Here's a list of various sources in English:

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! 🙇🏻‍♀️ These are far more useful than the podcasts themselves. I'll still listen to them out of curiosity and to pass the time ^

Thank you dearly! ✨

Hmmn, I just realized that Zhores Medvedev's The Legacy of Chernobyl is not on that list.

And of course any source describing the causes of the accident should be fact-checked against the IAEA's INSAG-7 report.

Don't worry: I already knew of Medvedev's report, and I think I already have it as an ebook 🤔 Of course the IAEA's report, being the official reconstruction of the events, is fundamental for fact checking anything on the matter. I printed it and always keep it at hand ^
