Fictional

Show Notes

In an alternate future, it's 1981 and the UN allies have been at war with the Soviet Union for six years. In that short amount of time, the world has been reduced to an irradiated husk of itself. Standing victorious over a fallen world, the Soviets unexpectedly find themselves overwhelmed by a new technology developed by the Allies. A technology that will turn the tide of the war. One that will harbor a deep secret. -- Sponsor: Check out http://www.nutrafol.com and use code FICTIONAL at checkout to start taking control of your hair health and to get your first month's supply for $10 with a subscription -- Music: "Son of the Widow" by Ketsa
