Summary

How did 9/11 the day become 9/11 the idea? That question drives award-winning host Dan Taberski (Missing Richard Simmons, Running From COPS, The Line) to shift his focus to what happened on 9/12, and every day after that. 9/12 is a poignant, surprising, and surprisingly funny seven episode series about people who wake up on 9/12 having to navigate a new, radically altered world. A teenager gets caught up in an out-of-control conspiracy theory that he helped start. A Pakistani business owner finds hundreds of his Brooklyn neighbors are disappearing. Joke-writers at The Onion must figure out just how soon is “too soon”? 9/12 asks what it all means. We know what happened on 9/11. But what happened on 9/12 to alter our memory and our perspective forever? Listen to 9/12: http://wondery.fm/9_12_TheFallLine All seven episodes of 9/12 are available to stream now on Amazon Music or Wondery+. Episodes will release weekly everywhere starting September 8th.

0:00.0	I can't wait to tell you about a new podcast from Dan Tubersky. He's the host of
0:05.0	Missing Richard Simmons and one of my favorite podcasts running from cops and
0:09.3	most recently The Line. His new show was called 912 and the series is about what
0:15.4	happened the day after September 11th and every day since. 912 is about how 911
0:21.8	the day became 911 the idea and how that idea has shaped the world, our culture
0:28.0	and ourselves for the past 20 years. There are so many amazing moments in this
0:33.5	series. You'll meet the teenager whose personal conspiracy theory spread
0:37.9	around the globe and the rollerblading tour guide who tried to take him down.
0:41.8	You'll follow the staffers for the satirical newspaper The Onion who woke up
0:46.8	on the morning after 911 and realized they had to do the impossible. Write jokes,
0:52.4	hilarious headlines about the news of the day. Now on the 20th anniversary of 911 we
1:00.2	finally have enough distance, maybe, to see some things we couldn't see before and
1:05.8	to learn some lessons that have gone unlearned for the past 20 years. Now you'll
1:11.7	hear a preview of 912. While you're listening be sure to follow 912 wherever
1:17.5	you get your podcasts or you can binge all seven episodes right now on Amazon
1:22.5	Music or with Wondering Plus. In the days after 911 it really did feel like
1:31.2	nothing would ever be funny again. Thank you very much. Welcome to the late show.
1:39.7	This is our first show on the air since New York and Washington were attacked.
1:45.8	Even the men on late night had abandoned their post. Then shuffled back one by one
1:51.0	cowed by their lack of words to describe what had happened. Letterman came first.
1:56.0	Watching all of this I wasn't sure that I should be doing a television show
2:01.6	because for 20 years we've been in the city making fun of everything, making fun
