	Description:		A few months ago I was able to sit down and go through the local library’s archives of articles they collected about the city’s civil defense planning for the nuclear war. In this episode we’ll look at how Des Moines, Iowa, a good “Anytown, USA” looked at the threat of atomic attack and most importantly, how the city planned to react to an attack. With the coronavirus outbreak going on right now, some of the information discussed might be timely. This was a fun episode to do, I hope you all enjoy this one….and I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane during these times!
