Nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, have become a common tool in Louisiana under Gov. Jeff Landry's administration.Earlier this year, the Gulf States Newsroom reported that at least 50 elected officials signed NDAs with the state agency Louisiana Economic Development as well as individual development companies. These NDAs are related to industrial projects throughout the state, including data centers and the Hyundai steel mill in Ascension Parish. Today, we dive into a new investigation from the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins, who found the practice of signing NDAs also extends into the governor's own office. Large-scale sediment diversions used to be considered priorities in Louisiana's coastal restoration initiatives. But after years of debate, political opposition, and the cancellation of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, the state's restoration priorities are changing.A new documentary from Louisiana Public Broadcasting titled “Building Barriers” explores those changes. Host of the new film and Louisiana Spotlight producer, Oscar Tickle, as we;; as LPB executive producer Linda Midgett, tell us more.On Tuesday, The Old Governor's Mansion in Baton Rouge will host the  special presentation “Louisiana Orphan Trains: America's Forgotten Journey of Hope and Hardship.” It tells the story of a mass relocation movement of orphaned children from eastern American cities to more rural communities in the mid 1800s.With more on this presentation and this chapter in Louisiana history, we spoke with two descendents of orphan train riders: President of the Louisiana Orphan Train Society, Martha Aubert, and board member James Douget.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber. We receive production and technical support from Garrett Pittman, Adam Vos and our assistant producer, Aubry Procell. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at noon and 7 p.m. It's available on Spotify, the NPR App and wherever you get your podcasts. Louisiana Considered wants to hear from you!

He's the man behind Descendants, High School Musical, Hocus Pocus, and Newsies, but Kenny Ortega's journey to becoming a Disney Legend started long before Mickey Mouse called. This is the story of the creative force Disney keeps turning to when they need to remind audiences why they fell in love with Disney magic. From starting out as a dancer in touring productions of Hair to choreographing music videos for Madonna and Elton John, stadium tours for Michael Jackson, and the iconic "Twist and Shout" sequence in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Kenny Ortega was shaping pop culture for a decade before Disney ever picked up the phone. When they finally did in 1988, it kicked off a 30-year partnership that would define childhoods for millions. What makes Ortega different is that he was never just a company man. He brought rock tours, Olympic ceremonies, and fountain choreography from the Vegas strip into everything he made for Disney.

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 61—especially explaining how Jesus is the only Savior that sinners could ever have. Q61. How were pious persons saved before the coming of Christ? By believing in a Savior to come. The lesson clarifies that pious individuals before Christ were saved by faith in a coming Savior, not by animal sacrifices which could not remove sin. It highlights Genesis 15:6 to show that Abraham's righteousness came through belief, establishing a continuity of salvation by faith across both testaments. Pastor explains the early biblical hope found in Genesis 3 and 4, where Adam and Eve anticipated a Descendant who would crush the serpent's head. This expectation underscores the necessity of an eternal Savior Whose atonement matches God's infinite glory. Ultimately, the message affirms that salvation has always been rooted in trusting in Jesus Christ alone as the promised Redeemer.

Dana Ledoux Miller ​is a shape shifting scribe. ​ S​he was PA'ing on Lost and The Descendants when she first said out loud that she wanted to be a writer. A decade later, she's co-written and co-directed Moana 2 and written Disney's live-action Moana, in theaters July 10 — becoming one of the ​f​ew Pacific Islander writers steering a major Disney IP. In this episode, we trace ​h​er full arc: from set life in Hawaii, to landing in Aaron Sorkin's writers' room on The Newsroom, to the surreal call that brought her onto Moana. We talk about what it actually feels like to carry the weight of representation on a project this big — the pressure of getting it right, the imposter syndrome that hasn't fully gone away even after a billion-dollar movie, and how she handles public reaction to work she's poured herself into. We also get into PEAK, the nonprofit she co-founded so she's not the only name on the list of Pacific Islander storytellers working in Hollywood.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by Fiona Barnett, survivor of CIA MK-Ultra & the MK-Delta child soldier program.Fiona describes growing up in a multi-generational MK-Ultra family and how her Nazi step-grandparents fled Europe to Australia after World War II. She describes how the Nazi's perfected systematically, trauma induced dissociated identities, and how these mind-control programs were continued by the CIA via MK-Ultra. Fiona describes how her memories of child sexual & Satanic ritual abuse started flooding back after the hanging of her step-grandfather, Peter Holowczak.Fiona goes on to describe the crimes perpetrated against her, including by Leonas Patrauskas & Antony Kidman, and how she worked with a researcher to identify her perpetrators. She describes the military training she underwent at the underground base at Holsworthy near Sydney.From there, we discuss MK-Ultra & the countercultural revolution of the 60s and 70s. Fiona describes the use of unethical hypnosis in MK-Ultra and the MK-Delta child soldier program. She explains how Josef Mengele continued his Nazi research post WWII and the significance of hybrid genomics programs. Fiona describes how MK-Ultra operatives use interdimensional programming via the Kabalistic Tree of Life, and why most psychologists and psychiatrists aren't qualified to work with victims of RAMCOA – ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse.Next, Fiona describes how her MK-Ultra perpetrators followed the Order of the Eastern Star configuration to trauma-induce Fiona's alters. She explains how Michael Aquino was Josef Mengele's son, and that both were Rothschilds. Fiona describes why every trauma must be novel, and then shares her experience from the ceremony in which she assumed her Grande Dame position in the Luciferian hierarchy.From there, Fiona describes how Jesus Christ provided her the path to escaping the cult. We discuss the Pygmalion project in changing children's gender in utero & the transgender/Azazel agenda of The Order. Fiona explains how Antony Kidman died days after she reported him for her child sexual abuse & how his daughter, Nicole Kidman, leveraged her public relations machine to suppress the story. Fiona describes the “Fight to Remember” and gives advice on working through trauma and fractured consciousness.We then discuss the life and death of Isaac Kappy, and Fiona explains that he was used by Michael Aquino as an unwitting MK-Ultra asset. Fiona explains how Isaac never betrayed her and her family, having found Jesus Christ in the weeks before his suspicious death. We consider Tom Hanks and Phoenix Enigma's role in the suspected murder of Isaac Kappy, and Fiona explains why she believes QAnon was an MK-Ultra psychological operation led by Michael Aquino and Jim Watkins.Fiona explains the Importance of healing attachment trauma. We conclude this interview discussing how someone can come to know God. Fiona recommends that we seek the truth, and that it will be revealed through your heart and mind.Outros available for this and all episodes at entangledpodcast.substack.com, with supporting exhibits and footnotes.

As Mike tells our guest, director Margaret Brown, when he heard that she had delivered HBO's “The Yogurt Shop Murders” in the wake of what he considered one of the 21st-Century's finest documentaries, “Descendant”,  his first thought was, “Oh, good for Margaret!  She's doing some true crime, and she's going to get paid.”   But he knew in his heart that because Margaret was the director, this would be much more than a run-of-the-mill procedural.  And in fact, the series–initially a 4-parter, but appended with a 5th episode when the case was finally and surprisingly solved–is, in many ways like Descendant, a meditation on time, place, memory and trauma.   Hidden Gem: DTF St. Louis   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @margaret_luce_brown on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X

Citizens of Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and other tribes are making their way to Montana to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Greasy Grass, also known as the Battle of the Little Bighorn. They are going there to mark a milestone for one of the most significant battles on U.S. soil. Many of them can directly trace their lineage to the warriors who were there. Among them is Jodi Rave Spotted Bear, whose great-great grandfather, Bear With Horns, died in the fight. His story was preserved by his younger sister Lucy Poor Buffalo, who was seven years old and witnessed the battle. Spotted Bear and others from the online news site, Buffalo's Fire, are collecting the stories in a Memorial Wall to pay tribute to the Native warriors.

Photo: A panoramic view of Monument Valley. (Gabriel Pietrorazio) The nation's 575 federally recognized tribes are now eligible for conservation grants from the National Park Service. And as KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, a new digital tool is designed to help them navigate the bureaucracy. The Land and Water Conservation Fund has been around since 1964. “It receives about $900 million each year from offshore oil and gas royalties – not taxpayer dollars – to support conservation and outdoor recreation nationwide. And yet, I had never heard of the program.” Starlyn Rose Miller is from the Little Shell Chippewa Tribe of Montana. She is with the nonprofit Wilderness Society, which launched the new online hub. “Tribal governments are so busy. We thought if we could put a hub up designed in partnership with Indigenous-led orgs, agencies, nonprofits, that it could be helpful.” The fund has aided more than 47,000 projects in nearly every county nationwide. Bethel siblings Vjosa Pellumbi, left, and Drini Pellumbi pose after winning the top prize at the UAF College of Business and Security Management’s Arctic Innovation Competition held at the 8 Star Events Center in Fairbanks on April 18, 2026. (Photo: Sarah Lewis / UAF) High energy costs are a fact of life in remote, rural Alaska with few easy answers. A brother and sister team from Bethel, Alaska recently won top honors at an innovation competition hosted from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. As KYUK's Evan Erickson reports, they are committed to being part of the solution. Fraternal twins Drini and Vjosa Pellumbi have more in common than the same birthday. So far, their education and career paths have followed side by side. The brother and sister graduated from high school with college credit gained through the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) and are currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The Pellumbi twins are busy advancing a prototype of a device that attaches to home boilers and aims to reduce heating costs in cold-weather climates. Drini Pellumbi says their device essentially takes heat that would have been wasted by the boiler and just repurposes it to heat incoming water. Their Arctic Heat Recovery System design earned the top prize and $21,000 at the Alaska Innovation Competition hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The same day, Vjosa Pellumbi said the pair celebrated their 20th birthday. “It was such a whirlwind of emotions, because during the finals of that competition, we still had finals for our semester course, and you know we’re taking rigorous engineering courses, so stresses were high. It was just, it was a lot of good news that day.” This summer, the Pellumbis are both in Washington, D.C., interning with a wildlife conservation nonprofit. In their off-hours, they are plugging away at their prototype. Drini says the heat recovery concept is nothing new, but that it's so far been focused on large-scale commercial applications. “On my table right in front of me we have a couple thermocouples and sensors. We’re in two separate apartments, but we take turns, whose room carries all the junk. I guess a lot of people just don’t see a profit margin in developing it for Alaskan citizens, like residents, to use. We’re not really in it for the profit, we’re in it because it’s clean, it saves oil, it saves money, it saves pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Hopefully it’ll be good all around.” Friends and family in Bethel – where fuel prices have recently spiked due to the war in Iran – are eager to be the first to test the device. The Pellumbis say it has the potential to save homeowners thousands of dollars per year. They say the money they earned at this year's Arctic Innovation Competition is going directly into making the heat recovery system a reality. The second-generation Albanian-Americans credit their mother for pushing them to apply together for the competition. Vjosa says the parallel paths her and her brother have taken come down to family ties. “Within Albanian culture, one of the core values is being very family-oriented. So I guess that’s always been why we’ve gravitated towards doing the same things, because we've always been close.” Both say they could end up specializing in different engineering fields down the road. But for now, they say they're enjoying being a team as long as they can. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Who was Naamah?In Genesis, she appears only briefly as the daughter of Lamech and the sister of Tubal-Cain. Yet in later Jewish traditions, Midrashic writings, Kabbalistic texts, and the Zohar, Naamah transforms into something far more mysterious—a seductress of angels, companion of Lilith, mother of demons, and a figure connected to the Watchers of Genesis 6. In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel Thomas follows the trail from the biblical lineage of Cain into the strange world of extra-biblical traditions surrounding Naamah. Along the way we examine ancient Jewish sources, the Book of Enoch, the Zohar, demonological traditions, Ashmedai (Asmodeus), the Four Demon Mothers, and the recurring theme of fallen angels corrupting humanity. We'll also explore competing traditions that portray Naamah either as a righteous woman connected to Noah's family or as a supernatural entity linked to demonic offspring, dream seduction, idol worship, and the Watchers. How did a nearly forgotten figure from Genesis become known as the "Mother of Demons"?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Naamah, Cain, Lamech, Tubal-Cain, Genesis 4, Descendants of Cain, Book of Enoch, Watchers, Grigori, Genesis 6, Sons of God, Daughters of Men, Fallen Angels, Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer, Genesis Rabbah, Legends of the Jews, Louis Ginzberg, Zohar, Zohar Hadash, Kabbalah, Moses de León, Lilith, Samael, Ashmedai, Asmodeus, Four Demon Mothers, Demonology, Jewish Mysticism, Midrash, Idol Worship, Dream Seduction Traditions, Noah's Wife Traditions, Nammu, Divine Feminine Traditions, Ancient Near Eastern Religion, Biblical Cosmology, Free The Rabbits.
