Dreaming of Osama

Studio 360 | May 6, 2011
Usually when we heard from Osama bin Laden it was on audio tapes broadcast on Al Jazeera — but he also appeared in bedrooms all over the world, haunting our dreams. This piece, Dreaming of Osama, was produced by Pejk Malinovski and originally aired on WNYC and PRI's The Next Big Thing. The people dreaming of Osama were Michael Burgess, Seth Williamson, Shawn Reynolds.
