Floodlines
Some call it Hurricane Katrina. Some call it the Federal Flood. Others call it the day the levees broke. On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was submerged. That story of hubris, incompetence, and nature's wrath is now etched into the national consciousness. But the people who lived through the flood and its aftermath have a different story to tell. A story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II.

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.
