9/12 is a vivid exploration of the day after—a seven‑episode meditation on how life, memory, and culture shifted in the wake of 9/11, told through unexpected personal stories with a blend of poignancy and quiet wit. Dan Taberski treats the aftermath not as historical footnotes, but as deeply human narratives that ripple through comedy, conspiracy, and community.
"Everything Dan Taberski touches turns to gold. The writing in this podcast is so darn good. And the meaning-making towards the end of the series is next level."
- Kristin Nelson, The Boston Globe
9/12, created by Dan Taberski, is a daring and deeply human reexamination of the aftermath of September 11th—less concerned with the day itself than with how it reshaped American identity, culture, and psychology in strange, sometimes absurd ways. Through a series of sharply crafted, tonally varied episodes, the show explores everything from conspiracy culture to comedy, grief to reinvention, offering a mosaic of lives caught in the long shadow of the attacks. With its careful balance of irreverence and reverence, 9/12 resists easy sentiment, instead probing how a nation processes trauma—and what it chooses to remember or forget.
