  • Résumé

  • On Episode 94 of The TLB Podcast, James is joined by historian, author, and educator, Christopher Verga, and two talk about some often-overlooked stories from Long Island’s past. They delve into the region's significant contributions during World War II, particularly in aviation, and explore the secrets of Cold War-era research, including nuclear developments at Brookhaven Labs. They also cover Long Island’s history with espionage, the military-industrial complex, and the reckless pursuit of innovation that has shaped the American legacy.
