Description

In Wild Thing: Going Nuclear, we’ll use science, history and culture to probe the realities of atomic energy today, while analyzing our own fascination— and ambivalence—with all things atomic. What are the true risks? And what is the actual potential? Are we better at this than we were sixty years ago? And given our nature, are we humans even responsible enough to harness the power of the universe—and should we?

Think there’s aliens out there? Stories of UFOs and alien encounters abound—and some are even believable. Now, armed with state-of-the-art technology, the search for extraterrestrials (one-celled and big-brained) is on the move. For Wild Thing: Space Invaders, host Laura Krantz turns her gaze skyward. Is there life on other planets? Has it visited us? Why do we want to find it? And what does it mean if we don’t? We’ll explore the science and culture of this universe of possibilities—and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.
