The Chernobyl Podcast

Peter Sagal (of NPR’s "Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me") is back hosting a new official HBO podcast; this time he’s with David Simon, the creator and executive producer of the new HBO limited series, The Plot Against America. Adapted from Philip Roth's novel of the same name, The Plot Against America explores a chilling alternate history in which the election of Charles Lindbergh during World War II charts America on a path towards facism. Join Sagal and Simon as they dissect the show’s narrative choices, their own personal ties to the material, and the story’s connection to our modern reality. Each episode of The Plot Against America Podcast is available after the series airs on Mondays at 9 PM on HBO. You can subscribe to The Plot Against America Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, and you can stream it on HBO apps. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-plot-against-america-podcast/id1501379687
