Das Berliner Cambalache Ep. 6: Lise Meitner, the Nobel prize that never was

Berliner Cambalache, best and worst historical podcast on Cashmere Radio, returns from the summer break with a new episode, we're not leaving the late '800/early '900, we're way too fond of that time, but for once we're dealing with political figures: this episode's protagonist is none other than Lise Meitner, one of the brightest chemist in German history. Her biggest contribution to science was the discovery of nuclear fission, for that she's sometimes referred to as the mother of the Atomic Bomb, a title she wasn't really fond of though (we'll discuss about it in the episode ofc). She's also the first woman to ever have a paid position in the German academia, but because of Austro-Jewish heritage she was later forced into exile by the Nazi Regime.

For music, while we have our usual selection of German jazz, but we also added a bit of Yiddish music and American music from the '50s
