Recording a pod on the use of libraries as nuclear shelters.

It's cute that Staten Island told residents its libraries could provide shelter in war, the exception being Great Kills Library, as it was made of wood.

Wooden building stuffed with paper? Great Kills indeed.

Monday's pod episode is on civil defence in North Carolina.

Here's the state's portrayal of radiation casualties.
