This week, journalist and podcaster Alex Goldman (@AGoldmund) joins us to talk about how 9/11's impact on posting. We talk about early 9/11 conspiracies on forums and early youtube videos, to more bizarre, esoteric content in which 9/11 was never a tragedy, but a posting phenomenon that crosses cultures.
