For once, Magda has a reason to be thankful for overcast humidity, in contrast to the all-too-perfect autumn weather that many New Yorkers associate with 9/11. We talk about the vexing disillusion of those months after the towers fell, and how a doctor Magda knew felt the same way as a teenager after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
We also remember the strangely large number of people we know who had reason to be in or near the World Trade Center on 9/11 but, for one flukey reason or another, were not.
Tune in for recommendations for some cathartic trauma memoirs, a salute to the rotating cube as an architectural device, Doug’s spot-on impersonation of his voice filtered through shitty wi-fi, and how to feel when a doctor tells you, “Man, that’s a lot of pus!”
