In 1950-1, Argentine dictator Juan Peron and German scientist
Ronald Richter announced that they had cracked the secret of
limitless energy from nuclear fusion, and would soon sell energy
"in pint-sized bottles, like milk" to every household in the
nation.
Of course, the slight problem was that this technology was really
(perhaps) a century away, and Ronald Richter was a crackpot. But
they still had their impact on the history of nuclear fusion. This
is their story.
Physical Attraction is the podcast about physics, science, and
technology. You can find further details about the show

where you'll find the contact form, for any comments, questions, or
concerns you may have. [I'm very good at responding to stuff that
isn't spam.]
You can also donate to the show via www.paypal.me/physicspodcast and
