Manage episode 449709826 series 2790342
Sharing an episode of the new podcast Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery. It details the
death of a 28-year-old whistleblower which, 50 years later, continues to haunt Oklahoma and
the nation. The young plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a
reporter with The New York Times. She’d agreed to deliver sensitive documents that were never
found. Two reporters who covered the story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together
what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Now,
hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews
reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear
secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried.
