On July 5, 1902, William Ross traveled to a farm near Willow City and broke into the home of Thomas Walsh. There, he committed what newspapers called one of the most cold-blooded murders ever committed in Bottineau County. He shot Walsh while the elderly man was asleep, then stole three horses and a wagon before fleeing south.

African American midwives, also known as granny midwives, were some of the first to universalize the practice of midwifery in the South. Now, a new permanent installation in Jackson is sharing their story. The Gulf States Newsroom's Maya Miller tells us more. Last week at WWNO we said goodbye to the host of All Things Considered, and the Thursday host of Louisiana Considered, Karl Lengel. For 23 years Karl has been bringing you the news in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana, reporting through notable events like Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida, and the pandemic. On Karl's last day, he shared what he's learned during his more than two decades with the station. Maybe you've driven down Henriette DeLille Street in New Orleans and wondered about the namesake. In 1836, Henriete DeLille founded the Sisters of the Holy Family, the religious order of nuns for free women of color that focused on supporting poor African Americans and still exists today.  Back in 2016, NPR's Laine Kaplan Levenson reported on this pioneering nun and the campaign to get her sainthood for the TriPod podcast. Today, in honor of Women's History Month, we give that story a second listen.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell, and Thomas Walsh.  You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

Sports columnist for The Times Picayune / The Advocate's Scott Rabalais has been traveling with the team. He joins us for more on what to expect on the court. Last week, the head of Louisiana's Department of Environmental Quality announced his resignation. For seven years, Secretary Chuck Carr Brown has led the agency, aiming to protect the state's environment and the health of its residents. The Coastal Desk's Halle Parker talked with him this week about what he has accomplished in this role, and what he hopes to see for the future of the department.  The singing group Trendafilka is a modern exploration of European polyphonic traditions.

New Orleans and the Gulf South are not known for their great public transit. But some New Orleanians remember a time when the buses in the city were much faster and more reliable. The Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha and Carly Berlin report on the region's hopes for a better bus future while it deals with today's transit problems. In December of last year, we carried a piece detailing the journey of one violin. For centuries, luthiers – caretakers of acoustic instruments – have worked to keep these instruments in top form. Today we encore a presentation of One Violin's Story, featuring luthier John Keller and violinist Kevin Mah. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, so we decided to take this time to look back on the history of the Irish community throughout the state. Dr. Laura Kelley, historian and author of The Irish in New Orleans, tells us more about Irish immigration history in Louisiana. But before we go, we'll hear from commentator Ronnie Virgets, who was a popular voice on our airwaves before his death in 2021. His colorful takes on life in Louisiana celebrate many of the quirks that come with living here. This particular piece recalls his early effort at being a salesman.

The First Street Foundation recently released its 7th National Climate Risk Assessment: Worsening Winds. The report highlights the impact of increasing risk from hurricane winds to houses, buildings and property. It also looks at how the intensity of hurricanes and their ability to reach new areas will change over the next 30 years due to a changing climate. Washington Post reporter Brady Dennis joins us for a deep dive into this story. In 2020, the hotel industry was on the brink of collapse. Nearly three years later, America's hotels are poised to begin a new era in operations – one where challenges such as staffing shortages and economic factors including inflation and borrowing costs replace COVID as top concerns.  American Hotel and Lodging Association President and CEO Chip Rogers joins us for more insight into the industry.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel.

ArtSpot Productions' The Road to Damascus is a solo performance that uses the story of Saul, or St. Paul's conversion experience, as a metaphor for awakening to the persecutorial nature of white supremacy. It also weaves in a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood to explore how sexual trauma leads some women to cause harm to themselves and others. We hear more from writer and performer Kathy Randels. Mardi Gras may be over, but festival season has only just begun, with St. Patrick's Day, French Quarter Fest, and Jazz Fest just around the corner. One challenge to all of these events is accessibility. You have to physically be able to go to parades, concerts, and balls, which can be especially difficult for the elderly, many of whom have physical limitations or disabilities. Thankfully, at St. Margaret's at Mercy nursing home, if you can't go to the Mardi Gras, they bring the Mardi Gras to you. Louisiana Considered's Alana Schreiber has the story. A former Catholic church in New Orleans' Marigny neighborhood is quietly evolving into a multi-use performance and event space. Julian Mutter, CEO of The New Marigny Theatre at Church of Arts and Sciences and WWNO board member, tells us how this space is transforming into a hub of creativity and community.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel.

It's Carnival season in Louisiana and around the world. Yes, you've heard of Mardi Gras, and you might be familiar with Carnaval in Brazil, but during this time of year there are multiple festivals around the globe all culminating in some sort of Tuesday celebration.

Law enforcement officers from outside of the New Orleans area will head to the Crescent City to help with policing and security during Mardi Gras. But in the past, outside officers have not always had to follow the city's rules and regulations. Verite's Richard Webster tells us more about the consent decree that will give the NOPD oversight of the incoming officers.  Last month, the YMCA in Baton Rouge's mid-city announced plans to renovate its aging facility and replace it, in part, with affordable apartments. These new units are meant to help address housing needs in the region. Christian Engle, CEO of YMCA of the Capital Region tells us more.

A recent study by the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund revealed that Louisiana sheriffs and prosecutors are overwhelmingly white and male. While over 33% of Louisiana's population is Black only 6% of the sheriffs and 12% of the district attorneys are Black, which points to a significant disparity.  Here to tell us more about these findings is Delvin Davis, author of the study, “Out of Balance, Racial Disparity Among Louisiana's Sheriffs and Prosecutors.”  Some of the most anticipated Mardi Gras krewes are getting ready to roll this weekend. Greg Swanson tells us about Krewe de Vieux's scandalous parade kicking off this Saturday, and a voice of mystery shares insight into Krewe Delusion's Sunday debut!  But first, Louisiana lawmakers met at the statehouse this week for a special session on insurance.

Last week, two Baton Rouge area elementary school teachers were recognized with the Milken Educator Award, a nationwide honor sometimes described as “the Oscars of Teaching.” Today, the two teachers, Dereka Duncan and Elise Frederic, tell us more about this accomplishment.  When a hurricane strikes, it's not just the immediate wind and rain damage that causes concern. Many are also forced to grapple with flooding, and often, as in the case of Hurricane Katrina, the water rises and stays for days at a time. Now, the LSU Department of Oceanography and Coastal Science and the Center for Computation and Technology are working to better predict flooding after hurricanes with a new computer modeling system. Associate professor George Xue tells us how this modeling will help communities prepare for disasters. With carnival season underway we are going back to the archives to hear some of our favorite Mardi Gras stories from years past. Today, in collaboration between WWNO's Thomas Walsh and StoryCorps, we bring you a 2015 conversation between two Mardi Gras Indians, Littdell “Queen B” Bannister and Mary Jones, who discuss sewing personal pride into each stitch of their costumes.

Following Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans became one of the most deforested cities in the country. Recently, the environmental group Sustaining Our Our Landscape (SOUL) released a new agenda to plant 100,000 trees in the city by 2040.  The Coastal Desk's Halle Parker sat down with SOUL's executive director and founder Susannah Burley to learn more. Last year, the Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice began transferring youth in detention to Angola, the state's most notorious prison. Now two teens, who had been held in a former death row building at the facility, are seeking to join an ongoing lawsuit against Governor Edwards over their treatment. Criminal Justice reporter for the The Times-Picayune | The Advocate James Finn tells us what might happen next.

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge turns 50 this year, and they're holding a gala this Thursday to celebrate that milestone. President and CEO Renee Chatelain tells about the organization's 50 years of creative programming and community growth.  When Robert Carriker first moved to Louisiana, he spent his weekends exploring the backcountry for the state's tastiest boudin. That soon turned into a website guide, BoudainLink.com, followed by a boudin festival and most recently, a book! Carriker joined WRKF's Karen Henderson for more on the history and development of this Louisiana sausage delicacy. But first, the cities of Jackson, Mississippi and Birmingham, Alabama are no strangers to environmental concerns, and now environmental activists are working together to fight against years of pollution and contamination.

On Monday, Tulane University amazed the nation when the school's football team won the 2023 Cotton Bowl, beating football powerhouse USC 46-45. The historic game is the Green Wave's first major bowl win since the Sugar Bowl in 1935.  For more on the game, Louisiana Considered's Managing Producer Alana Schreiber spoke with Tulane wide receiver Jha'Quan Jackson about the historic win and what this means for the future of Tulane football. Louisiana's Early Steps program is a statewide effort to provide early intervention services to infants and toddlers who have developmental delays and disabilities. But Louisiana is enrolling fewer children into this program compared to other states. Libbie Sonnier, executive director of the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children, tells us how we can better support children in need of these special services.   In Louisiana, we are still mourning the loss of Walter “Wolfman” Washington, a legendary local guitarist and singer who passed away in late December. He was a member of the band the Roadmasters, and often collaborated with artists like Irma Thomas, Joe Krown, and Russell Batiste Jr. To honor his legacy, take a listen to Wolfman's performance of “Use Me Up,” at the 2020 virtual Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival.

Back in December, we brought you a series of stories from the Gulf States Newsroom's justice, race, and equity reporter, Bobbi-Jeanne Misick. For over a year, she's been following the journeys of Cameroonian asylum seekers in the United States, many of whom were fleeing a brutal conflict that erupted in 2017. But many of these asylum seekers were sent to a part of the Deep South where detention centers were rapidly expanding and a wave of conservative immigration judges had just taken the bench. Today, we are dedicating our entire show to Bobbi's reporting, which was done in collaboration with Type Investigations. We'll hear from asylum-seekers, look into abuse allegations in detention centers, and listen to Bobbi's reflections from her reporting.

It's been more than four months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and Louisiana's most powerful anti-abortion organization has been shoring up support for the state's near-total abortion ban.
