Never Forget Radio

Never Forget Radio returns to Westchester, NY to examine its 9/11 memorial and the Bruce Springsteen song it’s named after. Featuring tasteful sculptures, a pyramidal dam, bike transport, grindr profiles, the uses of others, and an oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.

Music by local legends.

“Attention Passengers: Look Up, Speak Up. You can report any suspicious activity at your station or vehicle by dialing #1776. Let’s help keep each other and our transit system safe, and secure.”

An episode about this transit slogan.

Recorded live at the 36th Street Septa trolley station in West Philadelphia

Features “Suspicious Package” by No One and the Somebodies

Never Forget Radio explores an unusual 9/11 memorial, the USS New York – a US Navy ship built with steel from the World Trade Center. Features 1940s alpha-narrators, Jacqueline the submarine, big sticks, tragedy branding, drone advertising, and a magic sword.
Music by Andrew Keller.

For WWI’s 100th anniversary, Never Forget Radio examines Walter Benjamin’s Angel of History, infirm empires, unconscious repetition, traumatic day residue, and the most wellknown American film about Iraq. Recorded live at the Philadelphia Podcast Festival, at Tattooed Moms on South St, on August 24th 2014.

A collaborative series revisiting post-9/11 art begins with guest appearances by Marcus Brown and Rebecca Katherine Hirsch, examining a novel from 2003, a popular song from 1889, and the horrifying boredom and relentless terror of being alive. Music by Blown Away, Old Table, and found truck sounds.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum is finally about to open – but did you know that there has been a statue of a U.S. Special Forces soldier on horseback a block away from Ground Zero since 2011?

“Sounds like something out of a movie. But this is real. This happened.” – Joe Biden, at the dedication ceremony for the America’s Response Monument.

Music by Dave Marley, Cave Cricket, Old Table, No One and the Somebodies, and TURBOSLEAZE. Special thanks to Gatsby, Rebecca, and Natalie Cohen. Photos of Lower Manhattan by Aron Pasternack.

Never Forget Radio’s Post-9/11 Sports Quadrilogy (9/13/01-4/1/14) concludes with Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan’s rise and fall and rise. A year after the Boston Marathon Bombing, we revisit recycled baseball recovery narratives, regionalist sloganeering, and “God Bless America” (again). Music by fan recordings from stadiums, tributes, and parades, plus Old Table, Cave Cricket, and John Hollahan.
