Inspired by the multiple Oscars Oppenheimer was nominated for, Jen tells Akil about how the creation of the lab in Los Alamos involved displacing homesteaders in a quick and, sometimes, violent manner.

As we learn about this untold history, we find ourselves discussing conspiracy theories, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, gray hair, aliens, and more! You just gotta hear it to believe it!
