If you speak German, this podcast is fantastic: https://alternativlos.org/36/. The sheer number of technological challenges in a fusion reactor is just crazy. Besides plasma physics you have to invent welding techniques, materials and a lot of other stuff. Everything is on or over the limit of what we can do now.

Yeah, I thought there was also one in English. I may confused it with one of those: http://omegataupodcast.net/tag/fusion/

This one is good too but it's about ITER.

I can also highly recommend it. My favorite tidbit were the diamond encrusted screwheads...
