The Nuclear Reaction is a live post-apocalyptic shortwave broadcast that finds those who are still Left …and helps them get Right in the head. Part reaction, part debate, part emergency broadcast from the ruins of rationality, the show drops Mat into the middle of the day’s dumbest, darkest, and most combustible arguments. Guests, callers, clips, chats, and other forms of survivors wander the landscape as Mat tries to figure out what’s real, what’s fake, and who’s melting down. It’s politics, culture, internet drama, and apocalyptic nonsense all treated with the level of lols it deserves.
