The Chernobyl Orthodox Christmasode Disaster of 1986 | Episode 81

Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast

Hellooo! And welcome to a very special, extra girthy Orthodox Christmas Disastersode! It is a miracle this happened. I was deathly ill with a dying dog for eight magic days this holiday, and the master file was irretrievably destroyed mere days ago, and so the Christmasode becomes a New Years’ flavoured Orthodox Christmasode.
This episode fulfills the wishes of more listeners than any other episode before. Together we will be visiting the hands-down most dangerous place on earth; you will learn why this is probably the worst bad day at work episode of all time; we’ll visit earth’s model post-apocalyptic suburb; and we’ll find out how much radiation it takes to melt your hands off.
Also if you were listening to this on Patreon… you’d get hear the story of the most irradiated intern in history and his trusty axe; you’d take a side trip to Harrisburg Pennsylvania to find out how their local electric company nearly destroyed the planet; and you’d learn about the most lethal tourist photo opp anywhere on Earth.
I was recently reminded I do this at the request – the literal deathbed request of my father who I lost this time last year. They weren’t his last words or nothing – but I’ve wanted to do this story to share just one of the stories from the homeland he was forced to flee as a child. And on that note, because my dad carried the DNA of Olga of Kiev in his veins, I remind you, your new year’s resolutions can be as petty as seeking revenge and disrespecting your enemies. Whatever you choose to do, I only want you to be safe.
I thank you all for your patience and excitement over the last year. May you all have a happy new year and a better 2025.
