Introducing: 9/12

Introducing: 9/12

Author: Pineapple Street Studios and Audacy September 9, 2021 Duration: 6:56
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: wondery.fm/9_12_70Over70 All seven episodes of 9/12 are available to stream now on Amazon Music or Wondery+. Episodes will release weekly everywhere starting September 8th.

There’s a common assumption that the most interesting parts of a life are in the rearview mirror, especially after a certain age. 70 Over 70, produced by Pineapple Street Studios and Audacy, gently dismantles that idea. Through a series of seventy intimate conversations, host Max Linsky sits down with people who have lived at least seven decades, shifting the focus deliberately from what was to what is. You’ll hear less about nostalgia and more about the immediate present-the current passions, unresolved questions, and daily realities of these remarkable individuals. These dialogues naturally touch on profound themes spanning society, culture, health, and even spirituality, precisely because a long life inevitably intersects with all of them. Each episode feels like a quiet, personal exploration of the universal puzzles we all face: how to find meaning, maintain vitality, and navigate the art of release. This podcast offers the rare gift of perspective, not as a historical lesson, but as a living, breathing guide to the time we all have right now.
