Ep. 56 - Do Not Let the Hatred of a People Lead You to Injustice

"Islamophobia" feels too soft a term for the social and political hell that met Islam, Muslims, and anyone who "looked Muslim" in the decades, years, and even minutes following the attacks of September 11. The true depth of anti-Muslim brutality that the US unleashed upon itself and the world is still not widely understood to the extent that the topic requires; it remains deeply-rooted in the social, political, and legal fabric of the nation to this day.

Ep. 55 - Tiger Cruise

Today on our podcast about post-9/11 history, politics, and culture: Tiger Cruise, the 52nd Disney Channel Original Movie, about what it's like to be a teenage girl on a US naval aircraft carrier, arguing with your dad, when 9/11 happens. As mentioned in the intro, there's a few audio errors in this ep, unfortunately. Sarah's fault — thank you for sticking it out. Won't be a problem next week!

Ep. 54 - Save Rudy

It's Sarah vs. Kevin in TTR's first debate-style episode! The format? Policy debate. The topic? "Resolved: The United States federal government should provide free medical care to Rudy Giuliani." Production note: Might be a touch of audio wonkiness on this ep, which I've worked to address, amateurishly. Still figuring out how best to do a three-person live setup when our usual recorder only seats two. Any tips that aren't just "buy a recorder with more inputs," feel free to DM.

The Tower Record discusses why. Programming note: Sarah's off for a week; we're planning on having an ep on Tues 5/12 as usual, but if something comes up and it doesn't happen, that's why.
