This year marked the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the greater New Orleans area. But, less than a month later, southwest Louisiana was hit by one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record and the biggest storm to hit the area in almost 50 years at that time. For 17 years, Randy Roach served as the mayor of Lake Charles. In 2005, he not only had to take in displaced New Orleanians following Hurricane Katrina, but then make the difficult decisions that came along with a direct hit by Hurricane Rita. This week, we chat with the former mayor about the experience of Hurricane Rita and reflecting back on 20 years later.

When Hurricane Katrina roared up the Gulf of Mexico and slammed into the Coast in August, 2005, the devastation was just beginning. The government was murderously unprepared—when the levees failed, 80% of New Orleans was underwater, 1500 people lost their lives, thousand more were injured, and property losses were estimated at $125 billion. The capitalist media consistently smacked its lips over suffering and offered an upside down world where victims became criminals, and mutual aid was portrayed as theft. The afterlife—the trauma, waste. and wreckage—of the catastrophe is ongoing and includes displacement, corporate theft, privatization of public goods, educide, and cultural sacking. We're joined on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina by Kristin Buras, an anti-racist activist, teacher, and researcher who is the director of the New Orleans–based Urban South Grass-roots Research Collective, a coalition with African American community groups that combines research and grass-roots organizing for racial equity. She is the author, most recently, of What We Stand to Lose: Black Teachers, the Culture They Created, and the Closure of a New Orleans High School.

This week kicks off with a moment of acknowledgment for the recent school shooting, reflecting on how communities process recurring tragedies, whether the U.S. is becoming desensitized, and how media should handle coverage. Shan then takes listeners down memory lane with the upcoming Degrassi documentary, revisiting its legacy as a groundbreaking teen drama and sparking debate about whether today's shows tackle issues as authentically. The conversation continues with a look at the new Hurricane Katrina documentary, unpacking systemic racism, disaster response, and whether retelling these stories heals or exploits trauma. Music takes center stage with DJ Khaled's comeback singles: “You Remind Me” featuring dancehall icons, and “Brother” with Post Malone and NBA YoungBoy. The hosts debate which lane Khaled thrives in, the risks of sampling classics, and whether his new album can live up to the hype. Rome dives into Young Thug's snitching rumors amid his ongoing RICO trial, questioning what “snitching” even means in 2025 and whether fans are too invested in rappers' legal drama. Jab follows with news of Funk Flex's syndicated radio show ending, sparking discussion on radio's fading role in hip-hop compared to streaming. From there, the crew gets nostalgic with lyrics we sang as kids without knowing the meaning, before reviewing the Magic City documentary, weighing its balance of legacy vs. present-day culture, and debating hip-hop's ties to strip club culture. Other highlights include SeaWorld's controversial hip-hop rebrand, a quick spotlight on One MusicFest in Atlanta, and sports updates: Travis Hunter's new baby and the gold-digger discourse, plus Shilo Sanders' NFL rumors and what it means for the Sanders dynasty. The episode closes with a passionate debate on whether Aaliyah deserves the MTV Video Vanguard Award, weighing her timeless influence against icons like Missy Elliott, Beyoncé, and Rihanna.

The tragic story of Michelle McCullum, a young mother who killed herself and her two children a decade after Hurricane Katrina, illustrates the deep and lasting toll the storm took on New Orleans' Black communities. McCullum, who grew up in the Treme neighborhood, faced cascading challenges in a city reshaped by demographic shifts, job losses, and a weakened social safety net. She became emblematic of how systemic disinvestment, displacement, and inadequate mental health care compounded the trauma left in Katrina's wake. Her death underscored the urgent need for mental health resources and broader support in one of America's poorest and Blackest cities. In this episode, we speak with Adam Mahoney, climate and environment reporter at Capital B.about our lessons from Hurricane Katrina 20 years later.  You can read his article that was published in Mother Jones – Is the Legacy of Hurricane Katrina More Lethal Than the Storm?

Hurricane Katrina taught us that coastal restoration is not just an environmental issue but a matter of public safety, equity, and resilience. The storm revealed how decades of wetland loss, oil and gas canal dredging, and weakened levee systems left communitie — especially poor and Black neighborhoods — dangerously exposed. Since then, restoration efforts in Louisiana have emphasized rebuilding wetlands and barrier islands as natural buffers, integrating them with stronger levees and surge barriers in a “multiple lines of defense” approach. Katrina also taught us that community engagement is critical: restoration cannot succeed if it displaces residents or ignores local knowledge. The disaster ultimately pushed coastal restoration from a long-term ecological goal into an urgent priority for protecting both people and economies in a rapidly changing climate. In this episode, we speak with Rollin Black who works doing coastal habitat restoration in the Lower 9th Ward or New Orleans for the Lower Ninth Ward Center for Center for Engagement and Development.  Learn more about his work here https://sustainthenine.org/ — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post 20 Years After Katrina w/ Coastal Restoration Expert Rollin Black appeared first on KPFA.

Sen. Scott DeLano, a Republican from Biloxi, says Mississippi has done little to help protect South Mississippians from storm damages and residents statewide from rising insurance costs in the 20 years since Hurricane Katrina. He says Mississippi lags behind other Gulf states, in part, because the state insurance commissioner has not pushed for a robust mitigation program. DeLano also addresses his recent social media post blasting a state Republican think tank leader's comments that many viewed as racist.

Adrinda “Dri” Kelly, executive director of the organization Black Education for New Orleans (BE NOLA), and Stevona "Stevie" Elem-Rogers, her chief of community programs and partnership, tell us how they are rebuilding the city's learning pipeline, 20 years after Hurricane Katrina.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tavis-smiley--6286410/support.

The nonpartisan, public policy organization, Leaders for a Better Louisiana, recently released its latest Louisiana Fact Book. It's a list of 35 indicators over five key areas used to measure the state's overall wellbeing. The organization's chief policy officer, Barry Erwin, joins us to discuss this year's slight upward trend.The documentary “City of A Million Dreams - Parading for The Dead In New Orleans” explores the history and evolution of the New Orleans jazz funeral. That final goodbye is a mix of grief and joy, sadness and elation, weeping and second line dancing. Director Jason Berry joins us to discuss the making of the film, and how viewers can watch on Louisiana Public Broadcasting.Two decades after Hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans still has plenty of vacant lots, especially in the majority Black neighborhood of the Lower Ninth Ward. After the storm, Black New Orleanians struggled to return to their land and rebuild their homes, in part, because of the way the city and the state handled recovery efforts. As the coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye reports, one artist has navigated a bureaucratic city program to reclaim her family's land, with the help of her community. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Ep563-Art Bell-Hurricane Katrina Live Coverage

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Training Courses and Overpenetration Myths The hosts discussed upcoming training courses in Mount Enterprise, Texas, including a basic pistol class (P201) and an advanced course (P301) scheduled for October 3-6. They clarified that the basic course is their flagship core course, while the advanced course includes advanced techniques like low light shooting and team tactics. The main discussion centered on the myth of overpenetration in home defense, where they explained that most handgun rounds, including rifle rounds, will penetrate typical home construction materials, and that controlled expansion 5.56 bullets are actually less likely to overpenetrate than slower, heavier handgun rounds. US Army Rifle Procurement Controversy The discussion focused on concerns about the US Army's decision to purchase a new, expensive battle rifle with a dedicated round that is three times more expensive than current options and only produced by one company, which the professor characterized as corruption. Jarrad then shared news from Guns.com about LMT Defense winning a $93 million contract for 6.5 Creedmoor carbines in AR-10 configuration for Special Operations Command, while Black Hills Ammunition was awarded a $40 million contract for 17,367,760 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition for the Navy and Marine Corps. The conversation concluded with a reflection on how the 6.8mm SPC cartridge, once hyped as the future standard for M4 rifles, never materialized despite initial promises. Christians Under Attack and Gun Control The professor discussed a recent attack on Christian children by a 23-year-old man who identifies as transgender, emphasizing the importance of recognizing evil and the futility of gun control in preventing such acts. They highlighted the absurdity of left-wing priorities, comparing the perceived severity of gun control versus murder, and criticized the double standards applied to different crimes and societal issues. The conversation also touched on the inefficacy of laws in preventing illegal activities, using examples like drug prohibition, and questioned the sincerity of those advocating for stricter gun laws. Preparedness and Heroism in Danger They next focused on discussing the importance of preparedness and action in the face of danger, using James' advice to "run, hide, and fight" as a guiding principle. The professor emphasized the four possible outcomes of such situations: living hero, dead hero, living coward, and dead coward, urging listeners to prioritize protecting innocent lives.  Jarrad provided details on how to join the grad program, which offers the full show content, and clarified that only hosts and co-hosts can hear the recording notification. ----- TOPICS COVERED THIS EPISODE Huge thanks to our Partners: EOTech | Spike's Tactical [0:13:21] EOTech Talk - EOTechInc.com - TOPIC: LMT Wins $93 Million SOCOM 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle Contract www.guns.com [0:28:54] Warrior of the Week - James Yeager's “Virtues of a Warrior” - TOPIC: James Yeager [0:39:25] SOTG Homeroom - SOTG University - TOPIC: Minneapolis shooting live updates: Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, ID'd as students killed nypost.com

Like many hip youngsters of my generation, at some point in my twenties I got Jazz-pilled by Beat literature, with writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg name-dropping bop-era musicians like Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and many more, sending me to Limewire to download mp3s of 1950s and 1960s Jazz. In recent years, my casual appreciation has turned into a more intense investigation of music history and practice, particularly after discovering “The Grape,” a Jazz club in my neighborhood that's overflowing with colorful characters and musical adventure. My guest today is one of those characters: Monte Montgomery is a multi-instrumentalist, former touring funk guitarist, and all around hip music dude. In this conversation, he shares highlights from his decades in music, from playing funk with a group of Black GIs on a military base in Germany at the age of 17, to entertaining celebrities and insanely rich people on the Beverly Hills philanthropic event circuit, to his current gig holding court on piano, guitar, and drums every Tuesday night at The Grape.

When comedy writer Tamara Yajia talks about her childhood, she's sometimes unsure what tone to strike. Her new memoir Cry for Me Argentina: My Life as a Failed Child Star depicts a very fun nuclear family with parents and grandparents who are loud, crass, and sex-positive. There are hilarious moments and situations that seem wildly inappropriate. In this week's episode, Tamara tells Anna about the ups and downs of her childhood, which was spent in both Argentina and the U.S., and what she wishes her parents had done differently.   This episode was produced by Cameron Drews.
