The New Orleans public school system was one of the worst school systems in the country - and that was before Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city and most of the schools. So how did New Orleans schools end up succeeding just a few years later? David Osborne joins the podcast to discuss his new documentary 'Turnaround', about how New Orleans reinvented their schools.  More info at turnarounddocumentary.com To get bonus episodes, support us at patreon.com/newliberalpodcast or https://cnliberalism.org/become-a-member Got questions?

In this episode, Roy Jones sits down with Jordan Smith, Executive Chief Development Officer at Tree of Life Ministries in Purcellville, Virginia. Jordan shares how a moment of compassion in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina inspired his family to launch a ministry that now partners with more than 40 churches and serves thousands each year. Together, Roy and Jordan explore what it means to lead with humility across generations—how younger leaders can introduce innovation while honoring the wisdom of those who came before them. From implementing new technology to building bridges between Boomers and Millennials, Jordan offers powerful insights on faith-driven leadership, generational teamwork, and keeping Christ at the center of every mission.

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena sits down with Dr. Chris Ellis, a military veteran, scholar, and author of  Resilient Citizens: The People, Perils, and Politics of Modern Preparedness. Together, they explore the evolution of what it means to be a resilient citizen—someone capable of surviving and thriving during crisis through community, faith, and proactive readiness. From Iraq deployments and disaster nation-building to the academic study of resilience and preparedness, Dr. Ellis shares how his journey through war zones, research, and leadership shaped his mission to help others build lasting readiness.Scardena and Ellis dive into global and cultural lessons from history's most significant disasters—from Mount St. Helens and Hurricane Katrina to Japan's tsunami response and European recovery models—and how those events reveal the interconnectedness of preparedness, culture, and resilience. They discuss Ellis's SPIES framework—Social, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual—and how these five dimensions strengthen individuals and communities before disaster strikes.The conversation challenges stereotypes of “preppers,” shifting focus toward collaboration, compassion, and civic responsibility. Ellis explains why preparedness is not about fear, but about agency—taking control of your capacity to act and support others. From faith-based readiness to community-driven resilience, this episode is packed with insights for emergency managers, policymakers, and anyone striving to build a stronger, more self-reliant society.Whether you're leading disaster response, training in emergency management, or simply looking to protect your family and neighbors, this episode reminds us that true preparedness isn't about isolation—it's about connection, purpose, and service.You can find Dr. Ellis book here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Resilient-Citizens-People-Politics-Preparedness/dp/163763448XSEO Keywords: John Scardena | Disaster Tough Podcast | Chris Ellis | The People Perils and Politics of Modern Preparedness | Resilient Citizen | Emergency Management | Preparedness | Resilience | Military Leadership | Nation Building | Community Readiness | Emergency Response | Humanitarian Aid | Disaster Leadership | Crisis Management | Faith and Resilience | SPIES Framework | FEMA | Mount St. Helens | Hurricane Katrina | Japan Earthquake | Resilient Communities | Public Safety | Homeland Security | The Readiness Lab | Doberman Emergency Management

" It didn't take me long to realize that the big guys, like the Army Corps of Engineers are really just like bullies in the fourth grade playground. They're, they're big, but they're not smarter. They, they they, and, and the, they're elegant because they're big. And, and you know what happens when you're big and you're arrogant, you make big mistakes."

We are delighted to welcome Sue Weishar, a lifelong immigrant advocate who lives in New Orleans, LA. She is the former director of Immigration and Refugee Services at Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of New Orleans and a former policy and research fellow with Jesuit Social Research Institute (JSRI) at Loyola University New Orleans. Currently, she is the chair of the social justice committee at her local parish, St. Anthony of Padua. Sue talks about the positive impact of immigrants in the city of New Orleans, especially in the recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina. She shares stories of the way her parish and community have been impacted by increased immigrant enforcement, including the separation of families.Brian and Joe also share stories of families who are separated as a result of immigration policy. Joe shares the story of Amanda, a teenage girl at a shelter in Reynosa, who he connected with over a mutual interest in the writings of JRR Tolkien (although we will let you guess which one is the bigger fan!). Amanda was with her dad and siblings in Mexico, while her mom lives in Texas: a family separated, trying to decide how to reunite. Brian shares the story of Javier, who was picked up by ICE and deported after living two decades in the U.S., leaving behind his wife and kids. Brian was impressed to hear him look for the bright side of his difficult situation. Immigrant Workers' Critical Role in Rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina and Present Realities

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, many wondered: Is a city below sea level worth rebuilding? Answers to that question came in the form of music and dance collaboration, featuring the company Bodytraffic and The Preservation Hall Band. Now, on the 20th anniversary of Katrina, the New Orleans Ballet Association is reviving the performance “Why New Orleans Matters.” We hear from NOBA executive director Jenny Hamilton and choreographer Trey McIntyre for more. Today, November 11th, is Veterans Day, a time to honor those who have served our country in times of armed conflict. And many Louisiana servicemen held a rather peculiar role during World War II. While many French-speaking Cajuns were outcasts as children, their bilingual abilities gave them a powerful tool during World War II. They translated documents, deciphered messages and spoke directly to French-speaking Europeans.Jason Theriot is the author of the three-volume book, “To Honor Our Veterans: An Oral History of World War II Veterans From the Bayou Country.” Last year, he began The Frenchie Podcast, a series that dives into the individual contributions of these service members. He spoke to WRKF's Adam Vos for more. __Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our assistant producer is Aubry Procell.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 11/08/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In south Milwaukee County, a memorial was erected at the beach park where some of Sade C. Robinson's remains were discovered. Earlier this year, there was ferocious and Racist opposition to having this memorial in Cudahy - a Racially Restricted Region with a substantially smaller population of black people than the neighboring city of Milwaukee. The so-called government shutdown lurches into it's second month. A judge ordered Pres. Trump to fully fund SNAP benefits to feed millions of US citizens. The president appealed. The FAA began canceling flights to compensate for the lack of air traffic controllers. This is an ominous signal of what could happen as the "holiday" seasons intensifies. We'll also recognize the passing of the former Vice President Dick Cheney and professional football player Marshawn Kneeland. Cheney was a part of the fraudulent war in Iraq and the pathetic response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Kneeland is a 24-year-old privileged black male who reportedly took his own life after his attempted family reported concerns about his mental health. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Die Küste des US-Bundesstaates Louisiana geht unter. Damit verschwindet ein natürlicher Schutz vor den verheerenden Hurricanes. Manche wollen den Mississippi entfesseln, damit er mit seinen Sedimenten das Meer zurückdrängt. Andere sehen dadurch ihre Lebensgrundlage bedroht. Für Louisiana steht viel auf dem Spiel, etwa eine natürliche Barriere, die auch die Stadt New Orleans vor den verheerenden Hurricanes schützen soll. Vor 20 Jahren fegte Hurricane Katrina über die Gegend und hinterliess grosse Zerstörung. In der Folge gründete der Bundesstaat eine Küstenschutzbehörde, die sich dem Meer entgegenstemmt. Der Mississippi hätte dafür ein wichtiges Instrument sein sollen: Massenhaft sollten mit «Diversionen» Flusswasser und Sedimente in die Feuchtgebiete geleitet werden, um sie zu nähren – und um neues Land zu bilden. Am «Nepunte Pass», an einem natürlichen Seitenarm des Mississippi, sieht der Wissenschaftler Alex Kolker Beweise dafür, wie der mächtige Fluss Land bildet – wenn man ihn lässt. Doch Fischer kämpften gegen die Sedimentumleitung, weil sie wegen des Süsswassers um ihre Austern und Shrimps fürchteten. Der Gouverneur von Louisiana stellte sich auf ihre Seite und stoppe zwei Diversionen. Damit fehlen zentrale Projekte im Kampf gegen den Landverlust. Die Zukunft von Louisianas Küste ist ungewiss.

Im Flussdelta des Mississippi geht das Land im Meer unter. Damit geht ein natürlicher Schutz verloren für die Region, die 2005 schwer von Hurricane-Katrina getroffen worden ist. USA-Korrespondent Andrea Christen war in der Gegend, wo ihm nicht immer klar war, wo das Land endet und das Meer beginnt.

East Baton Rouge is facing a major budget shortfall. Parish officials need to find an extra $21 million, and one way they hope to save money is by getting more public service retirees to switch to government-funded health care. Report for America corps member Alex Cox has the story.Last weekend, the Governor's Mansion in Baton Rouge hosted a screening of “Ancestral Artistry: The Influence of Africans and Creoles of Color on Louisiana Architecture.” The film explores centuries of craftsmanship, culture and resilience passed down through generations of diverse communities who contributed to the state's architectural landscape The film's co-directors Charles E.

“The Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise,” said Mark Twain. In this, our final episode marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we consider how efforts to control the Mighty Mississippi – a river engineered from its Minnesota headwaters to its Gulf Coast outlet – have responded to the devastating storm, and how New Orleans' relationship to the river has changed. Can the city keep up with the pressure that climate change is putting on this engineered system, or is retreat the only viable response? Plus, a wetland recovery project that aims to bolster protection from hurricanes and flooding in the Lower Ninth Ward. Guests: Boyce Upholt – Journalist and author of “The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi River”  Nathaniel Rich – Author of “Second Nature: Scenes From a World Remade” and the New York Times Op-Ed, “New Orleans' Striking Advantage in the Age of Climate Change”  Harriet Swift – New Orleans resident Andrew Horowitz – Historian, University of Connecticut, author of "Katrina: A History, 1915-2015" Rashida Ferdinand – Founder and Executive Director of Sankofa Community Development Corporation, overseeing the Sankofa Wetland Park and Nature Trail in New Orleans Jason Day – Biologist, wetland Scientist, Comite Resources in Louisiana Descripción en español Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake You can get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

Turning Chaos Into Clarity Daryl shares how his volunteer search and rescue work during a devastating tornado in Alberta shaped his philosophy on leadership. What he witnessed in those chaotic moments pushed him to create systems for handling emergencies—not just in public safety, but also inside corporate boardrooms. Michael recalls his own experience with Hurricane Andrew in Florida, highlighting how disasters force us to rethink routines, resilience, and the way we lead through disruption. Productivity Meets Humanity Too often, workplaces focus on efficiency while stripping away connection. Michael and Daryl unpack why this doesn't work. Daryl draws from his coaching experience to show how empathy and vulnerability make leaders more effective, while Michael connects it back to employee well-being, stress management, and retention. Together, they stress that leadership is most powerful when it balances results with human connection. Transforming Toxicity Into Trust Michael shares his story of stepping into a healthcare organization with an 86% turnover rate. Within a year, by listening, implementing overdue changes, and fostering collaboration, turnover dropped to 6%. The lesson? Empathy and support aren't “soft skills”—they're leadership essentials. Just like a great coach who believes in their team, leaders can rebuild broken cultures by showing they care. Fundamentals Don't Change, Scale Does Daryl reminds us that whether you're leading 10 people or 10,000, the core challenges stay the same. Leadership is about people—and people are complex. His “order to chaos” framework emphasizes self-mastery, productivity, and intentional leadership. He explains how influence works like concentric circles: the larger the organization, the more intentional leaders must be with communication and culture. Adaptability Creates Team Success Great leaders flex. Daryl underscores the importance of listening and adjusting when introducing new systems. Michael reinforces this point with his healthcare experience—leaders who adapt to different personalities and communication styles build trust and reduce turnover. The message is clear: adaptability and intentionality are non-negotiable in leadership today. Collaboration for Better Decisions Michael highlights why leaders must include frontline voices when rolling out new tools or strategies, or risk creating disconnects. Daryl introduces his practical “1-3-1” tactic: identify the problem, offer three options, and present one recommendation. This simple structure accelerates decision-making and keeps teams aligned. The 1-3-1 Framework in Action Daryl breaks down how the 1-3-1 framework reduces cognitive overload for leaders while strengthening accountability. Though it feels clunky at first, it quickly becomes second nature. He even shares his Executive Assistant playbook and resources for leaders ready to try it—just DM him the word "TeamMichael” on LinkedIn or Instagram to get started. Resources and Balance The episode closes with resource-sharing and gratitude. Michael and Daryl encourage leaders to take advantage of these tools and remind listeners that leadership isn't about doing it all alone. Balance, intentionality, and shared wisdom are what truly move organizations forward.

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Guest, Congressman Tom Davis - When Might this Government Shutdown End? The current federal government shut-down has reached the month-mark, and everyone wonders if there is an end in sight. "Liberty Jones" and I will speak *LIVE* with former Congressman Tom Davis to discuss the challenges of bipartisanship in Congress (or lack thereof) and the state of politics in America. Please join us for an interesting discussion with a former politician who has been very involved with DC politics and DMV issues during his tenure in Congress. About Tom Davis: Thomas M. Davis III, Esq. served 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 11th Congressional District of Virginia. Rep. Davis served as chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (2003-2007), where he led a number of high-profile investigations. Davis was elected chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee and served 1999 to 2002. When he joined Congress, Tom was the first freshman representative in 50 years to hold a subcommittee chairmanship, taking the gavel of the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia. While in Congress, Rep. Davis was a chief author of more than 100 pieces of legislation that became law, including the DC "Control Board" Act, the DC College Access Program, and the DC Revitalization Act. He also presided over 150 hearings and investigations culminating in reports which included Hurricane Katrina, steroid use in professional baseball and contracting in Iraq. Davis has also authored numerous thought pieces in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and The Hill on the workings of Congress and other governmental issues. He also has appeared as a commentator on various television news and entertainment programs, including "Meet the Press," "Fox News Sunday Show" (power player of the week), MSNBC, CNN and the "Bill Maher Show."

Conway hopes and prays tonight's Dodgers game doesn't go for 18 innings, like last night's epic battle against Toronto. We're keeping an eye on Hurricane Melissa as it barrels through Jamaica on its way to Cuba. It's predicted to be bigger than 2005's Hurricane Katrina. Yesterday's suspect in the killing of a San Bernardino police officer, followed by a police pursuit on the 210 Freeway, has been identified as Angelo Jose Saldivar. There's a weather warning for the Santa Ana winds, with hot weather causing fire danger, and wind gusts predicted up to 45 miles per hour. 

Comics journalist Josh Neufeld joins the show to talk about the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the legacy of his fantastic graphic reporting of the lives upended by that catastrophe, A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge (Pantheon). We talk about his new 'zine followup, Beyond A.D., how the storm inspired him to become an emergency response volunteer and what he learned when he was stationed in Biloxi, what it was like to learn journalism and reporting on the fly and integrate those with his comics storytelling skills, and why his goal with A.D. was to make a people's history. We get into how he viewed the anniversary, whether he's gone back to New Orleans since reporting on it, and how he stayed connected with his subjects after the project and what it was like putting the anniversary 'zine together. We also discuss his comics upbringing, what it was like drawing for Harvey Pekar after years of American Splendor fandom, how constraints can lead to greater creativity, how neither of us have the lying gene necessary for fiction, his interest in graphic medicine and how that shapes his recent comics, the difference between journalism and nonfiction, a couple of my Small Press Expo anecdotes, how Michael Jordan's minor league baseball experience helps explain why comics people (usually) treat newbies well, and more.

PARANORMAL: The Reddit Stories: New Orleans TerrorsJoin Josh as he dives into real-life paranormal encounters from one of America's most haunted cities — New Orleans. From the lingering echoes of Hurricane Katrina to haunted hotels, ghostly figures caught on camera, and eerie happenings in the French Quarter, these are the firsthand accounts of people who've come face-to-face with the city's restless spirits.New Orleans is no stranger to darkness — we've already covered legends like the Axeman, Madame LaLaurie, and the city's rumored vampires — but these stories come straight from those who lived them. Are these encounters proof that the past still walks among the living… or just the city's energy playing tricks on those who dare to look too closely?Follow us on Instagram @outtherecryptids and support the show on Patreon @outtherecryptids.

People swept away by Hurricane Katrina, lone travelers who disappeared, and kids who never came home. Where are all of these missing people, and are their unidentified remains sitting in universities and law enforcement offices around the country? America’s Crime Lab is a true crime podcast about how science solves cold cases, missing persons, and other unsolved cases. Hosted by journalist and clinical psychologist Elin Lantz Lesser, and powered by Othram’s forensic DNA lab, the show connects the science to the story, revealing what really happens in the lab and why it matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald talks with former federal prosecutor Jared Fishman, author of Fire on the Levee: The Murder of Henry Glover and the Search for Justice after Hurricane Katrina. Fishman revisits the 2005 killing of Henry Glover by New Orleans police officers in the chaotic days following Hurricane Katrina, a case he investigated and brought to trial early in his career. Twenty years later, he reflects on what the tragedy revealed about institutional breakdown and systemic failure in American policing. Fishman, who now leads the Justice Innovation Lab, discusses how Katrina exposed not just a natural disaster, but “a disaster of real human proportions.” The aftermath of Glover's killing, he explains, underscored the collapse of accountability in law enforcement—when “all forms of accountability were crushed” and a culture of silence protected wrongdoing. His work later helped spur major reforms in the New Orleans Police Department, but he cautions that the department's progress remains incomplete. The conversation also traces how awareness of systemic police misconduct has evolved since those early post-Katrina years. Before Ferguson and George Floyd, Fishman says, most Americans viewed police abuse as isolated incidents—“bad apples” rather than symptoms of a broken system. Today, he argues, there's wider recognition that true reform means confronting the institutional incentives, recruitment models, and training failures that perpetuate injustice across jurisdictions. Finally, Fishman links these lessons to current debates over federal militarization of cities. Drawing on his experience in both war zones and American courtrooms, he warns that the sight of National Guard troops in U.S. streets should “alarm everyone,” calling it evidence of “how fragile our institutions are.” Real public safety, he concludes, depends on addressing root causes—poverty, mental health, and inequality—not on “arresting more people” or treating social problems through the criminal legal system.

You've probably heard of PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. But what about its counterpart, post-traumatic growth?The term was coined in the 90s to describe the positive psychological growth that researchers documented in people who had been through traumatic or highly stressful life events. Psychologists and sociologists conducting long-range studies on survivors of Hurricane Katrina – which hit 20 years ago and remains one of the most devastating natural disasters to hit the US – are continuing to learn more about it. So how do you measure post-traumatic growth? Can it co-exist with PTSD? NPR mental health correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee explains what scientists have found so far … and how it could help shape disaster relief efforts in the future.Interested in more psychology and social science stories?
