Possibly the only 9/11-related podcast that is neither about conspiracy theories or heroism, Never Forget Radio instead tries to remember our post-9/11 era as history, cultural quarry, and ongoing catastrophe, through a left and hopefully feminist perspective.

Customer Reviews
The only 9/11 podcast that matters.
This dude uses his incredibly soothing voice to dissect the cultural significance of various large sports events in the weeks following the 9/11 attacks. Among other things. Is there a podcast more perfectly tailored to all my interests? Unlikely. Peace to Hannah Arendt! Walter Benjamin please stand up!
Love this show
Never Forget Radio is striking. This is a subject difficult to navigate without getting sort circuited by nationalism and yet NFR manages to offer the most honest coverage of 9/11 and its aftermath I've ever encountered. If you're into history, art, or politics you need to be listening to this podcast.
