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.

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.
