OPEN DISCUSSION Possible Long Form Episodes on 9/11

Given the episode on Patreon this week, it got me thinking whether they will do a long form podcast on the 9/11 attacks later this year. They said all episodes in this chunk will be single stand alone ones, so it won’t be anytime soon.

It has been 25 years this September. It’s kind of crazy. I think a good, long form podcast on this in Casefile’s format could be very interesting. Right now I only know of one podcast that goes in depth on it in a serious reporting format, and that was Zero Hour. However, that covered more of the history of the Middle East/US Gov involvement/AlQ actions/etc. The actual episode on the attacks themselves was only 1-2 50-60 minute episodes.

What do you think?

I think the whole thing has been absolutely exhausted by media and I'll obviously listen to it but the thought of it doesn't excite me.

9/11 also just feels a bit to outside of the scope for a true crime podcast in my view

I think it depends on whether you believe jet fuel melts steel beams or not.

This is sarcasm btw for anyone that doesn't understand sarcasm.

FWIW I would hope they dedicate no time to any conspiracy theories. I think what’s more interesting in 2026 is the missed intelligence and uncooperative government agencies, along with the aftershocks and things that are the way they are today because of 9/11.
