How did 9/11 the day become 9/11 the idea? That question drives award-winning host Dan Taberski (Missing Richard Simmons, Running From COPS, The Line) to shift his focus to what happened on 9/12, and every day after that. 9/12 is a poignant, surprising, and surprisingly funny seven episode series about people who wake up on 9/12 having to navigate a new, radically altered world. A teenager gets caught up in an out-of-control conspiracy theory that he helped start. A Pakistani business owner finds hundreds of his Brooklyn neighbors are disappearing. Joke-writers at The Onion must figure out just how soon is “too soon”? 9/12 asks what it all means. We know what happened on 9/11. But what happened on 9/12 to alter our memory and our perspective forever? Listen to 9/12: wondery.fm/9_12_RichardSimmons All seven episodes of 9/12 are available to stream now on Amazon Music or Wondery+. Episodes will release weekly everywhere starting September 8th.

I'm Dan Taberski.
I was the host of the podcast's missing Richard Simmons and running from cops.
And most recently, the line, do you want to hear my 911 story?
Yeah, me neither.
Cause what I want to talk about is what happened the day after and every day after that.
A new podcast miniseries is called 912.
It's about how 911 the day became 911.
The idea.
Each episode of 912 looks at how September 11 was used, how it became a tool and a joke, a horror franchise, and a story that we just couldnt let go.
Youll meet the amateur filmmaker whose conspiracy theories spread around the globe.
And the rollerblading tour guide who tried to take him down.
A pakistani business owner who finds hundreds of his neighbors have disappeared overnight.
There are famous Hollywood writers and directors secretly enlisted by the CIA to stop the next attack.
And a drug dealing former deadhead who becomes a radical jihadist.
I'm about to play you a preview of 912.
I hope you like it.
Be sure to follow 912 wherever you get your podcasts.
Or you can binge all seven episodes right now, free on Amazon Music or with wondery.
In the days after 911, it really did feel like nothing would ever be funny again.
Thank you very much.
