What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

A humane and moving attempt at truth and reconciliation that acknowledges in a deep and meaningful way those who were victimized by the US Government’s poorly constructed flood infrastructure, inadequate disaster relief planning, and woefully incompetent Katrina response as well as post-disaster capitalist greed and property confiscations and our larger society’s ignorance and passive acceptance of it all…

Leeann is an incredible representative for the people who came through Katrina to a different life post storm. Interview with Brownie was a lot more insightful than I expected. Kudos on your research and reporting. Highly recommend this podcast.

I’m a New Orleans local of 20 years. I’ve listened to this podcast twice. It’s a masterpiece! Y’all should think about doing another podcast 18 years later. Katrina is still effecting New Orleans. Due to the gentrification after the storm families are separated. Community is not the same. Crime has and is killing us. 18 years later and we are still trying to survive Katrina. Thank you for this podcast.

This podcast is more of a movie for your ears. The sound effects and music added is next level. The storytellers are top-notch, and the stories are riveting. I always recommend this podcast to friends and colleagues. I’m going back through the podcast for the second time in two years, and it’s just as good as the first time!
