On this episode of the World Review podcast, Jeremy Cliffe is joined by guest co-host Sarah Manavis to talk with New Yorker columnist and author Evan Osnos. To mark the 20th anniversary of al-Qaeda’s 11 September attacks on New York and Washington, DC, they discuss the atrocities’ lasting impact, the effect they have had on the US’s national psyche, and Osnos’s new book Wildland: The Making of America’s Fury.
Then in You Ask Us, they answer a listener’s question on whether there could be another Trump or Trump-like president in 2024.
