Zola Gorgon is joined in the studio by Cold War pop enthusiast Melissa Frost to play a selection of music and sound about nuclear war and nuclear anxiety from the 50s to the 80s – everything from doo-wop to minimal synth to experimental rock and club stompers to public service announcements – from the delusionally upbeat to the crushingly sincere.
