    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. I know that's the actual answer but have you by any chance heard about the economy lately Follow The Tower Record everywhere: https://linktr.ee/thetowerrecord New episodes every Tuesday morning.

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.

    Ep. 51 - Did Firefighters Really Steal Jeans from the Gap on 9/11?

    Well — Did they? I tried to think of so many punny wordplay titles for this, but nothing gets at the anesthetizing weirdness of this premise like just doing away with all artifice and wit and plainly posing this question to you, the audience, and us, the researchers. This story is insane btw P.S. Sincere apologies to author William Langewiesche for not even attempting to look into the correct pronunciation of your name before doing this episode. I know it's a tedious thing to have your last name egregiously misread, like, 75% of the time.
