Description

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.

damn...this was such tragically beautiful episode and podcast. When Leanne said she was going to call her momma as soon as she got home, it just broke me. I felt bad for FEMA dude at some points but then when he ruined it by some of the shit he said, like about how Leanne should take responsibility for where she lived...as a child....for where she was born and raised, not of age to make a decision to leave everything/everyone she knows just because of the governments uselessness?

Michael Brown is a liar. I'll add that it's amazing how he got that job purely through association with no experience at all. But that's a whole other story. He did nothing because he did not give a damn. That's all.
