    Ep. 60 - The Great American — Lee Greenwood and "God Bless the U.S.A."

    From the midway point of the Reagan years to the reign of Donald Trump, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." has been *the* modern anthem of American pride and patriotism. Inspired by LG's involvement in the Great American State Fair (and related proceedings from Freedom 250), TTR digs into the decades-long fixation on the track by the American right. Why this song? Who this man? And what the hell, in general? Every question answered in this fevered, deep-dive megasode.

    Ep. 59 - Minority Report

    The Spielberg two-fer continues and concludes with good-ass movie Minority Report, released in 2002, predicting the future and making it look easy. Also discussed — the short story by Philip K. Dick from which the movie is adapted. Follow The Tower Record everywhere: https://linktr.ee/thetowerrecord New episodes every Tuesday morning. Music by Rrrrrose Azerty.

    Ep. 58 - War of the Worlds (2005)

    It's a Steven Spielberg extravaganza as TTR goes in on two very different post-9/11 movies from America's schmaltziest filmmaker. Next week is where we talk about the good movie; this week is the one that sucks ass. Plus! Disclosure Day discussion, as Sarah reveals she knows way too much about aliens.

    Ep. 57 - GTA: Vice City

    TTR's "Grand Theft Auto" miniseries continues apace with a quick trip down to the southern tip of Florida, with an examination of another game that really set the tone of post-9/11 culture, especially as it pertains to the rise of 80s nostalgia.

    Ep. 56 - Do Not Let the Hatred of a People Lead You to Injustice

    "Islamophobia" feels too soft a term for the social and political hell that met Islam, Muslims, and anyone who "looked Muslim" in the decades, years, and even minutes following the attacks of September 11. The true depth of anti-Muslim brutality that the US unleashed upon itself and the world is still not widely understood to the extent that the topic requires; it remains deeply-rooted in the social, political, and legal fabric of the nation to this day.  Follow The Tower Record everywhere: https://linktr.ee/thetowerrecord New episodes every Tuesday morning.

    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.
