Decrypting Ghosts and Trauma from 9/11 with Guest Danel Olson

In the first episode of the new podcast season, Dr. Danel Olson joins to talk about his new book 9/11 Gothic: Decrypting Ghosts and Trauma in New York City's Terrorism Novels. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss how 9/11 affected civilians psychologically and spiritually and how the aftermath of the war on terror affected the military. This is a deep dive into the trauma that has followed the worst attack on America's soil.

I need to look into this book. I'll never forget 9/11. I was staying at my parents house in Upstate Ny. I had just turned 21. My parents were going to drive me to the airport to move to live with my fiance in AK. He had only been in the AF for two year. My flight was scheduled to leave two days after 9/11. Of course after this happened all the airports were closed for a while. I woak up September 11 at 9am. Turned on the tv couldn't believe what I was seeing! I called my mother at work and asked her if she'd seen the news. I was crying my heart was in my throat. I was two hours away form the city but felt so close. I felt horrible for everyone that was there. I flew out a week later. It was only my second time flying. I asked a question at the air port in Seattle washington. I was nervous and didn't know where my gate was. The woman got mad at me and thought because I was nervous, there was something off about me. I was stranded in Seattle for a night. They took my luggage all I did was asked a question. Everyone was really paranoid after 9/11. You could see fear In everyone's eye's. None of us knew to what to expect next. We felt safe until that horrible day. When I think about 9/11 I always wonder what those terrorists were thinking, the night before they did what they did. Were they scared? Did they have familes of their own? Did they sleep well the night before. Were they scared? I'll never understand how someone could do what they did. I can't imagine the pain and terror those people felt that day. The poor families left to morn. All the kids that had to grow up without parents, Grandparents, Ants and Uncles, Cousins, Friends. It's just horrific. RIP to all of them ❤

I just started a new job when tower was hit. I was still standing in the same place when both towers fell. I was in such shock

I'm not into numerology or anything like that but, it kind of stands out to me during your intro how many times the #11 is spoken.🤔

I listened to this but it is only a very long commercial for his books - so disappointing

After listening to Dr. Olson, I won't be reading his book. I get a feeling that he drops acid.

I love digging and studying the after effects of 9/11. But this was so boring!! 🥱
