If you want to escape from the relentless images Wednesday, you might want to turn to NPR's special programming. If you don't have a local station, you can listen to WNYC, KCRW, and KQED.

A coaltion of the stations have produced a series of programs Understanding America After 9/11 which are in RealAudio online.

For nearly a year, the Sonic Memorial Project has been gathering stories. They've produced a number of pieces for NPR and an hour special narrated by writer Paul Auster will repeat on many stations Wednesday (and should be online later this week).

Former NPR reporter Robert Krulwich will be doing a report on "Nightline" Tuesday based on the Sonic Memorial Project including the story on couples who were married at the World Trade Center.

The project was coordinated by the Kitchen Sisters and Jay Allison who also do Lost and Found Sounds which has produced a number of amazing stories including one on WHER, the first all-girl radio station.

Allison also runs the Transom, an online community and showcase of public radio. It has a discussion area for This American Life which has done some excellent related programs including Before and After and Somewhere in the Arabian Sea on life aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis.
