On the Media

Aftershocks


Listen Later

Twenty years after the Twin Towers came down, we’re still wrestling over how to make sense of what happened. On this week’s On the Media, how the conspiracies birthed in the aftermath of 9/11 set the stage for the paranoia to come. Plus, how Afghanistan’s thriving new media scene hopes to survive Taliban rule. And, how Ivermectin became politicized.

1. Tolo founder Saad Mohseni [@saadmohseni] on the mounting threat to journalism in Afghanistan. Listen.

2. NYTimes television critic James Poniewozik [@poniewozik] on the documentary styles used to remember 9/11. Listen.

3. OTM's Micah Loewinger [@MicahLoewinger] reports on the legacy of Loose Change. Listen.

4. Mother Jones senior editor Kiera Butler [@kieraevebutler] on how Ivermectin became so politicized. Listen.
