In this episode of One More Thing Before You Go, we honor the 2,977 lives lost during the September 11 terrorist attacks. We explore the enduring effects of this tragic day, 23 years later. Our guest, Matt Warshauer, author of Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation, delves into how the aftermath of 9/11 has profoundly impacted America’s youth.

Matt explains that the alienation and fear experienced by young people today can be traced back to the fall of the Twin Towers and the chaos that followed. He discusses how the 9/11 Generation, closely tied to Millennials, was already predisposed to distrust the government and feel a lack of control over their lives, sentiments that were only intensified by the events of that day.

Join us as Matt Warshauer, a professor at Central Connecticut State University, shares his insights on the lasting legacy of 9/11, its influence on American foreign policy, and how these policies have contributed to some of today’s most challenging international issues. This is an episode you won’t want to miss.
