Summary: Host Mark Olsen talks with Craig Mazin, the writer and creator of HBO's "Chernobyl." The miniseries is more than a dramatization of the 1986 nuclear meltdown in the USSR. It also tells a story of the “cost of lies” and the real-life dangers that result from a culture built on propaganda and misinformation. As he developed the script in 2016, Mazin saw parallels in American politics, with whole segments of the public growing untethered from the truth.
