Growing up in Swansea in the 1980s, Jude Rogers bounced along to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's 'Two Tribes', totally oblivious to its power and anti-nuclear politics. Now a culture journalist, Jude explores her own fascination with cold war culture and how Stanley Kubrick and Welsh author Peter George changed pop culture forever - challenging and ridiculing authority with their movie masterpiece, 'Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb'. Investigative journalist Eric Schlosser tells her how close to reality the film really was and how Peter George's novel 'Red Alert' changed things at the highest levels of the US government. Young Marble Giant's singer Alison Statton describes what life was like as an artist living under the threat of nuclear war in Cardiff in the early 1980s. And with cold war novelist Stuart Evers, Jude spends a downbeat Friday night watching classic clips from cold war films and TV.
