24. Wait For It

After 15 years, residents of Hoboken NJ are still waiting for construction to begin on their 9/11 Memorial. With the help of local reporters and city council meetings, Never Forget Radio takes you into the room where it happened – or didn’t happen. With special guests Emilie and Frank Sinatra.

Music by Snow Caps, Erica Rubin, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Old Table, and Frank Sinatra.

Hudson county local reporters were played by Emilie
Thanks to Emilie, Rebecca Katherine Hirsch, Andrew Keller, Laura Janoff, and our Sinatra Consultant, Aron Pasternack

23. Bono in Paris

Never Forget Radio causes a live audience to suffer through the pregame ceremonies, halftime show, and uncomfortable resonances of Super Bowl XXXVI (2/3/02). Ft. Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Bono, and many decades of interrelated catastrophes.

22. Watching “The Battle of Algiers” at The Pentagon in 2003

The Directorate for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict cordially requests the presence of your company in the Pentagon Screening Room on August 27th, 2003:

“How to win a battle against terrorism and lose the war of ideas. . . . Children shoot soldiers at point blank range. Women plant bombs in cafes. Soon the entire Arab population builds to a mad fervor. Sound familiar? The French have a plan. It succeeds tactically, but fails strategically. To understand why, come to a rare showing of this film.”

Recorded live at the Moore College of Art in April 2016. Music by Ennio Morricone and Old Table.
