Fred Froehlich The Brian Lehrer Show
11:30am on WNYC 93.9 FM and AM 820
There are huge changes underway in the relationship between the American people and the US government; between America and the world; between major religions. The economy, the constitution, and our public as well as private priorities, as we previously understood them, have all been rocked, undermined, and thrown into chaos - not to mention the changes and challenges for New York as a city. WNYC’s Brian Lehrer Show will explore such issues of concern a year after September 11th and hear from WNYC’s listeners, as New Yorkers struggle to make sense of our new reality.

Read
Even as New York begins to rebuild after 9/11, there remains a deep sense of loss in the city. How are New Yorkers coping with their loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, the loss of faith, or the loss of a sense of security? This documentary presents stories of people whose lives have changed dramatically as they cope with the lasting impact of the attack: the family of a Long Island woman who died in the World Trade Center still trying to make sense of her death; formerly unconnected neighbors who have found a new sense of community; people who have considered extraordinary measures to protect themselves because they fear another attack; NYPD 911 operators who were working on that day, and have discovered a new appreciation for life; a romance that began at Ground Zero. The documentary reveals the inner landscape of people's emotions and how 9/11 has impacted values, family, work, political views, spirituality, and community. Listeners will find elements of their own responses to 9/11 in the stories they hear.
