Unfortunately, there will not be a new episode of Red Alert today (04/09/20). Instead we will re-air a previously aired episode. However we'll be back with a brand new episode of Red Alert next week! Here's something to tide you over: http://www.atomicplatters.com/periodic_table_100.php (this website is partially broken, but it's still full of information).

The world of Pop Music got an especially crazy kick out of the Bomb. CONELRAD proudly presents the top 100 songs from what it hopes will be an ever-growing list of atomic platters. Without Robert Oppenheimer's creation would we have ever heard the lines like 'Satellite baby, don't fission out on me!...

If you liked Red Alert episode 30, "Call For Revolution: Spain," this (unfortunately seemingly defunct) blog on Spanish pop music from the 1960s may be of interest:

60s music sang in Spanish. Come and meet new bands and songs even though you can't speak Spanish at all!!

Another source for our Cold War episodes (Red Alert #26-27): http://www.inthe80s.com/coldwar.shtml. Most of the songs on this list ended up being too commercial for Red Alert, but that shouldn't stop you from exploring them.
