    Description:

    Grab a cold one and hunker down because Skylr and Spence are about to guide you on a wild

    ride through the development of Project Nike and its context in the Cold War. Join your favorite

    hosts as they delve into the fascinating world of military innovation, nuclear technology and

    secrecy, while sipping on some brewskis. In the aftermath of WWII the US has a new mission in

    mind, to develop the first Surface to Air, anti-aircraft missile system. Skylr and Spence launch

    developments to the US missile force as technology increases range, accuracy, and destructive

    power. So, grab a beer and (join them in the room?) tune in as Skylr and Spence bring history to
