Spending the Night in a Titan II Missile Silo (Vilonia, Arkansas)

In this episode, I take a tour of a Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile silo located near Vilonia, Arkansas and then spend the night inside it with my dogs. About 54 of these missiles were deployed during the Cold War, and each of them carried a 9 megaton nuclear warhead. At least, I'll be safe from nuclear war on this particular night! We were very grateful for the tour from G.T. Hill. Find out more about Titan Ranch and G.T. Hill's efforts to convert it into a Bed and Breakfast here: @UCd50A5qLv8FemVufSvDgkCQ Special thanks to the Outrider Foundation, the Jubitz Family Foundation, and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies for providing funding support.
