Building One World Trade, Paula Cole, Finding bin Laden, Connie Smith
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
A new book chronicles the long process of rebuilding the World Trade Center from the rubble of 9/11. Journalist Scott Raab, who followed the story for Esquire, and the official World Trade Center photographer Joe Woolhead join us to discuss their new book, Once More to the Sky: the Rebuilding of the World Trade Center. Songwriter and Grammy-winning producer Paula Cole joins to discuss her new record, American Quilt, featuring new renditions of folk and jazz standards, plus some roots-inspired originals. She'll talk about the album, and what goes into the production and interpretation of classic Americana songs. We air the final installment of 'Full Bio' with Peter Bergen, CNN national security analyst and author of the book The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden. Today, we discuss how the Pentagon missed an opportunity to capture bin Laden, and how on-the-ground surveillance led to the discovery of his compound in Pakistan. In 1964, country musician Connie Smith became the first female artist to reach number one on the country charts with a debut single. Nearly six decades later, at the age of 80, she’s released her 54th studio album, The Cry of the Heart. Smith joins us for a Listening Party.
