Cooking for Rosh Hashanah, A Listening Party with Big Red Machine, the Early Life of Osama Bin Laden, 'Detainee 001'

Jake Cohen, author of Jew-ish: A Cookbook: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch, joins us to discuss recipes for Rosh Hashanah, and take calls from listeners. WNYC planning editor Kate Hinds joins us to discuss the stories the newsroom is following this week in our ongoing segment 'Kate Has a Plan.' Big Red Machine is the collaborative project between The National’s Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. Their new album, How Long Do you Think It’s Gonna Last?, features contributions from other artists, many of whose albums Dessner has produced, such as Taylor Swift, Ben Howard, and Sharon Van Etten. Dessner joins us for a Listening Party. Author and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen joins us to discuss his new book, The Rise and Fall of Osama Bin Laden, a biography of the man who helped orchestrate 9/11 and changed the course of American history forever. The conversation will air as part of our “Full Bio” series. On today's installation, we learn how Bin Laden became a religious zealot as a young man, the only of his 54 siblings to embark on that route. We also hear how the Bin Laden family became wealthy, and how Bin Laden himself used that wealth to fund his projects. A new documentary tackles the complex and oft-misunderstood story of John Walker Lindh, commonly known as the American Taliban, who was released from prison in 2019 after serving seventeen years of a 20-year sentence for providing support to the Taliban. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Director Greg Barker, who has spent many years chronicling the conflicts in the Middle East, joins us to discuss his latest film, “Detainee 001,” which premieres on September 10 on Showtime.
