New Apple Original Podcast “Operation: Tradebom” Drops Today, Hosted by Academy Award nominee and Emmy-Winning Producer, Director And Screenwriter Marc Smerling

The new Apple Original podcast “Operation:Tradebom” which dropped the first two episodes today, tracks the investigation into the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and how this first attempt to bring down the towers changed our world forever. The podcast details the arrival of terrorism to American shores, through the voices of those who watched it happen firsthand – from Cairo in 1981 to downtown New York City on 9/11.

Episodes 1: The World Trade Center 

February 26, 1993. Stockbroker Tim Lang parks his car beneath the Twin Towers, and a bomb explodes. Rookie emergency services officer Cory Cuneo carries Lang to safety. Bomb-maker Ramzi Yousef is disappointed the towers did not fall. 

Episode 2: The First Shot

November 5, 1990, three years before the bombing. The radical founder of the Jewish Defense League, Rabbi Meir Kahane, is shot in midtown Manhattan, and we meet his assassin through the eyes of his eight-year-old son. Meanwhile, FBI agent John Anticev and New York City police detective Louis Napoli of the JTTF are assigned the case.

New podcast episodes will debut weekly on Apple Podcasts and via RSS at https://apple.co/operation-tradebom. “Operation: Tradebom” is an Apple Original podcast produced by Truth Media in partnership with Brillstein Entertainment Partners. Executive producers are Marc Smerling and Jon Liebman.
