The climate crisis is at a tipping point, and the need for solutions has never been more urgent. As global temperatures rise and the climate crisis becomes even more prevalent, we must find sustainable ways to power our future. In this critical moment, nuclear energy emerges as a vital part of the solution. Even companies like Amazon and Google are investing in nuclear to meet rising energy needs, highlighting its importance for a sustainable tomorrow.
The IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 report predicts nuclear investment will double by 2050, with capacity additions reaching 30 GW per year by the early 2030s- five times the rate of the past decade. Advanced nuclear technologies, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), are now set to transform the energy landscape with scalable, affordable solutions.
But nuclear energy isn’t just for scientists and policymakers. Fissionary is bringing the conversation to everyone. We’re featuring a wide array of voices, such as experts, advocates, and everyday people who understand the real-world impact of this technology. By highlighting underrepresented perspectives in the nuclear community, we’re making the conversation more inclusive than ever.
Our mission? To break down barriers around nuclear energy and show that it’s not just a topic for experts- it’s something everyone should care about. We want our listeners to leave each episode feeling not only informed but inspired to advocate for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

To connect with listeners from all walks of life, we built Fissionary with a strategy that focuses on the diverse, human side of nuclear energy. Rather than focusing solely on technical experts, we intentionally feature a broad range of guests, including nuclear advocates, experts, and even those outside the industry who are still deeply connected to nuclear's benefits. This inclusive approach allows us to engage audiences who might otherwise shy away from traditional technical discussions.
We’ve had noteworthy guests like:
These stories of real-world applications of nuclear technology help listeners understand how it can positively impact industries far beyond energy.
In addition to this diverse guest selection, Fissionary stands out as a woman-led podcast in an industry often dominated by male voices. This helps create a welcoming, inclusive space for listeners of all backgrounds. We’ve also been the first to feature nuclear advocates like:
Our content is carefully crafted to maintain a delicate balance between accessible storytelling that simplifies complex topics, while also maintaining technical credibility. Each episode weaves personal experiences with educational insights, to emphasize the real world impact of nuclear. This storytelling approach keeps audiences engaged while breaking down barriers to understanding nuclear energy, making it easier for people to become advocates for clean energy solutions.
Promotion is also key: we amplify every episode across social media, email newsletters, and YouTube, ensuring we reach a broad and engaged audience across platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
Fissionary is helping shift nuclear's narrative by introducing diverse perspectives to our podcast. We were the first to feature voices like James Larkin, Ralph, and Matt Randall, whose expertise and stories are helping pave the way for others in the field. We’re proving that nuclear energy can be discussed in an inclusive, welcoming way- and our growing audience is responding.
The podcast has achieved:
Here’s what some of our Apple listeners are saying:
By making nuclear discussions fun and engaging, we’re able to reach people who might not otherwise tune into an energy-focused podcast. We’ve created a space for people from all walks of life to join the conversation and advocate for a clean, sustainable future.
