JayHOST
Yeah, I mean, the, the stuff that's truly scary is the, uh, accidental nuclear war.
JayHOST
Um, I think I talked about, I read, uh, Annie Jacobsen's book, Nuclear War: A Scenario, and I just finished her follow-up, Biological War: A Scenario, which is equally, um, unsettling.
SeanHOST
[laughs]
FrankHOST
You're in such-
Ben MallerHOST
I don't know.
RobbieGUEST
Though I tried to read that Annie Jacobsen book about biological warfare, and now I am a little freaked out about biological stuff, [laughs] so you never know.
Ben MallerHOST
Well, again, though, the things that could kill you.
RobbieGUEST
Yeah, exactly.
Danny JonesGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Julian DoreyHOST
And then I'm like, Annie Jacobsen's saying DARPA was telepathically talking to dolphins in 1992.
Danny JonesGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Julian DoreyHOST
It's like, how far ahead were these fucking Nazi scientists?
Philip StoneHOST
Great choice.
Chris WhiteHOST
For my other pick, again, a topic that's come up on the podcast previously, I've chosen Biological War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen.
Philip StoneHOST
Mm-hmm.
Chris WhiteHOST
And some, some listeners might remember that Bel highlighted Jacobsen's previous bestseller, Nuclear War: A Scenario, on the podcast last year.
Brian KeatingHOST
It still, still happens, Emad.
Brian KeatingHOST
And, and I just talked to Annie Jacobsen, the world's expert on both nuclear warfare and biological warfare-
Emad MostaqueGUEST
[laughs]
Brian KeatingHOST
... or axis, and it was a couple rough weeks for me to sleep at night hosting her here in San Diego twice.
Henry ZebrowskiGUEST
... from Russia.
Ryan SpragueHOST
Annie, uh, Annie Jacobsen.
Ryan SpragueHOST
Yeah.
Henry ZebrowskiGUEST
Anna Jacobsen, saying that he was sending these things over, which I think is a far crazier explanation than aliens.
Louise SchaperHOST
George, do you have any recommendations for the Pulse Poddies this week?
George MargelisHOST
I've been doing a little bit of reading over the weekend, and I came across an author called Annie Jacobsen.
George MargelisHOST
So Annie Jacobsen is a sort of political writer, but she's published two books recently, which are a little scary.
George MargelisHOST
One's called Nuclear War: A Scenario.
Louise SchaperHOST
Oh.
Chuck WendigGUEST
Oh.
Neil McRobertHOST
I'm very merry now 'cause I'm talking to you, 'cause as I was explaining to you, I've just finished recording with Annie Jacobsen all about-
Chuck WendigGUEST
[laughs]
Neil McRobertHOST
...
Brian McLeanHOST
That all ended up in Palantir's database on everybody.
Brian McLeanHOST
That was Annie Jacobsen, author Annie Jacobsen, who said that on the Danny Jones podcast.
Brian McLeanHOST
So, uh, I think she's talked about that in her book.
Brian McLeanHOST
That might be something people would be interested in.
speaker_1HOST
It is an engineered feature of the pathogen inside him.
speaker_0HOST
Okay, let's unpack this because this scenario is the chilling opening of Annie Jacobsen's deeply researched 2026 book, Biological War: A Scenario.
speaker_0HOST
And our mission for this deep dive is to examine the meticulous reporting in this book to really understand the mechanics of hypervirulent biological weapons.
speaker_1HOST
Mm-hmm.
