Shocked crowds of downtown Manhattanites observe the burning World Trade Center towers in New York City on the morning of September 11, 2001.

It has been 23 years since the sunny late summer Tuesday morning that changed basically everything.

This hour, a look back at September 11, 2001, and its long shadow, still darkening our days a bit now.

We talk to a historian about the generation that has lived its life in a post-9/11 world and a critic about the influence of 9/11 on and in our popular culture.

GUESTS:

  • Lindsay Ellis: An author, video essayist, and film critic; her new novel is Apostles of Mercy
  • Matthew Warshauer: Professor of history at Central Connecticut State University and the author of Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation: The Real Story of September 11
