Our take on SNAFU with Ed Helms podcast

Ed Helms takes us back to history-changing moments ad screw-ups that defined our present. Season one focused on the unprecedented events of November 1983, when the world was on the brink of destruction. The show presents the authentic story of Able Archer, a NATO military operation that almost sparked a nuclear war. These are some of the unbelievable history-defying stories you'll not find anywhere but at SNAFU with Ed Helms. Join the historical adventure every Wednesday to learn the extent of the most significant screw-ups. SNAFU with Ed Helms is a history podcast by iHeartPodcasts.
