A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O'Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that decades ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit.Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth.At the same time, Cork's seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County…and it won't leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.William Kent Krueger is the New York Times bestselling author of The River We Remember, This Tender Land, Ordinary Grace (winner of the Edgar Award for best novel), and the original audio novella The Levee, as well as twenty acclaimed books in the Cork O'Connor mystery series, including Spirit Crossing, Fox Creek, and Lightning Strike. He lives in the Twin Cities with his family. Learn more at WilliamKentKrueger.com.#speakingofwriterspodcast #williamkentkrueger #authorpodcast

No Show is at the 2025 Phocuswright Conference this week talking to a variety of exhibitors, innovators, and speakers and taking their temperature on the present and future of travel technology. We found out that:Levee founder Al Lagunas is done with the 3 pm check-inRon Glickman from Innovation Launch People's Choice Award Winner Acai Travel is ready for boundaries to be pushedTaylor Palmer from SiriusXM Connect is putting safety at your fingertipsEtraveli Group's Peny Rizou has a prophecy about the future of fraud preventionThe inimitable Mickey Beyer-Clausen from Timeshifter is thinking about the rhythms of lifeTourism Tasmania CMO Lindene Cleary loves changing perceptionsAnd Mirko Lalli from Data Appeal believes in the dual power of democratization and simplification

Al Lagunas is the co-founder of Levee, an AI-driven vision-and-voice platform that converts room inspections into verified data and automated workflows. A first-generation Mexican American from Chicago, Al's people-first lens was shaped by his mom's hotel housekeeping career. Susan and Al talk about pitching, personalization, and productivity. What You'll Learn About: • How physical and digital products sell differently • Lessons from scaling a startup  • The people-first lens Al brings from his family's housekeeping roots • "Time to Value" as the overlooked metric in hotel ops • How Levee's one-button vision and voice AI verifies room setup • Real-time feedback that gets new housekeepers to three-month performance by their fourth room • Closing the personalization fulfillment gap • The near-future mix of human teams plus AI agents and robotics Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Time to Value Is More Important Than “Training Time” Al reframed the industry's labor challenge: the real problem isn't a shortage of workers, but how quickly hotels can turn new hires into valuable contributors. Instead of focusing on a 10–20 day training period, operators should measure “time to value”—how fast a team member begins producing quality work. Using Levy's AI-assisted inspections, new housekeepers reached the performance level of 3–6 month veterans after cleaning just four rooms, which radically reduces onboarding friction. 2. Personalization Requires Operational Fulfillment, Not Just Data Guest personalization has long been a “white whale” in hospitality, but Al emphasized that data alone isn't enough. Knowing a guest's coffee preference or pillow type doesn't matter unless the front-line team can reliably act on it. Levy addresses this by making room setup checklists dynamic and verifiable, turning guest data into consistent fulfillment. This shifts personalization from an abstract idea to a repeatable process embedded in daily operations. 3. The Workforce of the Future Will Be People + AI Agents Al predicts that hotel back-of-house teams will evolve into a hybrid workforce of humans, AI agents, and robotics. Instead of viewing AI as a replacement, he sees it as an extension of labor—helping staff complete inspections, surface data, and automate tasks. This diversification enables leaner, more efficient teams while also opening the door for new types of roles and responsibilities as hospitality operations modernize.

It's Thursday, and time for our Week in Politics with the Times Picayune's/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. Today, we discuss President Trump's proposal to send the National Guard to New Orleans and how Gov. Jeff Landry has responded. Ask anyone in New Orleans, and they know: Hurricane Katrina was such a devastating disaster because of the catastrophic failure of the city's levee system. In the storm's wake, the federal government built an entirely new levee system, and the state created entirely new organizations to oversee it. Despite the upgrades, water policy critics are warning that politics could be undermining the city's most important protection against the next storm. The coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye tells us more. You have an idea, and you convince your friends to join you in realizing it.  They move to another city, in this case, New Orleans. But just before that vision is about to take center stage, Katrina hits.That's what happened to The NOLA Project when they were getting ready for their first production as a theatre company in 2005. But the group returned to the city and persevered, often performing their works outside of traditional venues and in “found spaces.”Founder Andrew Larimer and original company member and second artistic director, AJ Allegra, tell us more about the theatre's unique origin story.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

“Several years ago, the musician Mike Mattison fixated on the story of how Charlie Idaho killed the Mercy Man,” Eric McHenry writes in our Summer issue. Mattison had found the tale in the writings of folklorist Alan Lomax, whose source identified a powerful Mississippi levee boss as the murderer of an SPCA officer. Not finding any existing ballads about the crime, Mattison wrote the eerily beautiful track “Charlie Idaho,” which caught the attention of McHenry, who specializes in poring over old newspapers for musical breadcrumbs about the blues. He quickly discovered that Mattison wasn't the first person to put the story to song—and “Charlie Idaho” masked the name of the Mercy Man's true killer.Go beyond the episode:Read Eric McHenry's investigation, “Who Killed the Mercy Man?”Listen to Mike Mattison's ballad “Charlie Idaho” Sampled in the episode:Sampson Pittman's “I've Been Down in the Circle Before”Ed Lewis's “Levee Camp Holler” and his commentary, recorded by Alan Lomax in 1959Alger “Texas” Alexander's “Levee Camp Moan Blues”Tune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation, many of the unsung heroes who rushed into chaos were first responders, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, putting their lives on the line to save others. One of them was Joseph Patrick Fair, a now retired Michigan, based police officer and firefighter, who served with distinction for over 25 years. His experiences during Katrina's aftermath became a turning point, one that would ultimately reveal the hidden wounds of trauma and ignite a new chapter in his life as a writer, speaker, and advocate for recovery. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “I was addicted to adrenaline,” says Fair, reflecting on his years in public safety. “You don't even realize how it consumes you until the noise stops, and you're alone with the aftershocks.” Those aftershocks, for Fair, came in the form of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a psychological condition that affects countless first responders who witness death, destruction, and human suffering. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Fair was part of the emergency rescue teams deployed after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in U.S. history. Katrina made landfall in August 2005 as a Category 3 hurricane, but its impact was far more devastating than its wind speeds would suggest. Levee failures left 80 percent of New Orleans submerged, and more than 1,300 lives were lost. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was later found responsible for the flood wall breaches. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . For Fair, it wasn't just the physical wreckage that left a mark, it was the emotional toll of witnessing widespread human tragedy. PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. "You're walking through a city that looks like a war zone. People are crying out for help. Some are already gone. You do what you're trained to do, but the images stay burned into your mind," he recalls. The trauma Fair experienced was compounded by decades of cumulative stress from his work in police, fire, and EMS. “It's not just one event. It's years of calls that never leave you. One day, your body and mind say, ‘That's enough.'” Like many in public safety, Fair developed a dependency on adrenaline as a coping mechanism, a silent, socially accepted addiction in the world of emergency response. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. But recovery, for Fair, came in a different form, through storytelling. He began writing as a way to process what he had lived through. His novel, To Die a Hero, is a police fiction book based heavily on his real-life experiences. The story dives into the emotional roller coaster of law enforcement work, following two small-town cops who balance wit and grit while facing tragedy, scandal, and the cost of duty. “Writing was therapy,” Fair shares. “It gave me a voice when I didn't know how to speak the pain out loud. I wanted to turn the hurt into something honest, something that might help others going through the same thing.” PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. Through his books, the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show's Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, Fair connects with readers, fellow officers, and trauma survivors alike. His stories are more than entertainment, they're tools for healing. He's also the host of a television show on Public Media Network in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he explores personal stories that foster community connection and resilience.

He also writes for Heart of Hollywood Magazine, lending his voice and experience to uplift others. PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. With over a decade of experience in publishing and a heart for helping others, Fair encourages anyone grappling with PTSD or trauma to consider the power of creative expression. “If humans are the clay, your higher power is the sculpture,” he says. “Life requires change. And change, though painful, can be the path to healing.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Joseph's journey has touched thousands through his appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, blog articles, and public speaking. He emphasizes that recovery after PTSD, especially for police, is possible, but it starts by acknowledging the pain, not burying it.

In 2016, the Mississippi River punched a hole in the Len Small levee, built to protect farmland along an S-shaped curve in the river known as Dogtooth Bend. That hole was never repaired. Here & Now's Chris Bentley reports on how some farmers in the area have had to give up their land. And, John Ruskey calls the Mississippi River "a creative force" that sculpts the landscape and rejuvenates the people who experience it up close. But climate change is making that force stronger and more destructive. Bentley took a canoe ride with Ruskey and reports on the future of the river. Then, Bentley and Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd reflect on their reporting along the Mississippi River and share thoughts on how the river has shaped the history and landscape of North America.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Jason is passionate about helping families simplify nutrition and reduce mealtime stress, turning chaotic dinners into moments of connection.In this episode, we discuss how to create meaningful mealtimes by sitting down together as a family, focusing on connection rather than food itself, and removing the pressure from the table. We also discuss the hidden ways generational beliefs and habits influence our family's relationship with food, how to model good food habits for our kids, practical strategies for navigating picky eating and introducing new food to your children, and how to build balanced meals for busy schedules. Whether you're dealing with picky eaters, struggling to find time to cook or just looking for ways to bring peace and connection to the dinner table, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiring ideas.And I'd love to hear from you, so come and tell me what takeaways from this episode landed with you over on Instagram at @radiantwomanhood or @tabithablue.

610. Join us this week as David Snow tells us about English traveler David Ingram. "In The Extraordinary Journey of David Ingram, author Dean Snow rights the record on a shipwrecked sailor who traversed the length of the North American continent only to be maligned as deceitful storyteller. In the autumn of 1569, a French ship rescued David Ingram and two other English sailors from the shore of the Gulf of Maine. The men had walked over 3000 miles in less than a year after being marooned near Tampico, Mexico. They were the only three men to escape alive and uncaptured, out of a hundred put ashore at the close of John Hawkins's disastrous third slaving expedition.

(According to one account) Pierre LeMoyne, Iberville landed at Pensacola on his way to Louisiana. This week in New Orleans history. Today we celebrate the first edition of The Picayune on Wednesday, January 25, 1837. It contained 4 pages, few graphics, and was distributed by two carriers who sold 800 of the 1000 copies that had been printed from the office at No. 38 Gravier Street. The following day, January 26, 1837, 2,000 copies were printed and sold. It was the first New Orleans newspaper to sell for less than a dime. A picayune (a Spanish coin) equaled about 6 1/4 cents. This week in Louisiana. The Krewe du Vieux French Quarter (Vieux Carré) 6:30 pm, Saturday, February 15, 2025 Royal & Homer Plessy Way to Andrew Higgens. Parade Route here.     When the Krewe of Clones (founded in 1978) decided to become more respectable, Craig "Spoons" Johnson and Don Marshall decided to keep the parade's original raucous, art-inspired spirit alive by starting Krewe du Vieux Carré.     At first, the ragtag krewe had 16 subkrewes, and a collection of mule-drawn or hand-pulled handmade floats. But by 2001, KdV had its first title float, and its membership was growing. Its numerous subkrewes with names like Krewe of C.R.U.D.E., Krewe of L.E.W.D. and Mystic Krewe of Spermes meet in the "Den of Muses," a warehouse space, to bring together their costumes and floats.      In 2006, KdV was the first parade to march post-Katrina, and garnered national attention for its tenacity and lightheartedness in the face of tragedy. That year's theme was "C'est Levee." Other themes over the years have included "Habitat for Insanity" and "Where the Vile Things Are." Their after party is called "The Krewe du Vieux Doo."      Today Krewe du Vieux is loved for its wild satire, adult themes, and political comedy, as well as for showcasing some of the best brass and jazz bands in New Orleans.
