Hurricane Ida - EP 144

Beyond Bourbon Street, an Insider's Guide to New Orleans

Hurricane Ida

Today’s episode is Hurricane Ida. More specifically what went into our decision to stay or go, and what things have been like afterwards.

Support comes from The Historic New Orleans Collection, whose new book Economy Hall has been called “lyrical and mysterious and always captivating” by the New York Times.

Author Fatima Shaik follows the civil rights pioneers of Economy Hall through landmark events—from the Haitian Revolution to the birth of jazz—that shaped New Orleans and the United States. Visit HNOC.org/Economy Hall to learn more.

Resources Kids Join the Fight

Kids Join the Fight is a foundation started by our nine year old friend Walker Beery who just lost his two year fight with pediatric brain cancer. KidsJointheFight.org was created by Walker and his family as a way to help others families find a cure and provide treatment. I’m asking you to consider a donation in memory of Walker as well as all the kids fighting pediatric cancer.
