Making Contact – Making Contact – Making Contact: Is Southeast Louisiana Doomed? [Encore] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A study published in May in the journal Nature Sustainability reports that the shoreline could eventually sit some 30 miles north of New Orleans. The finding does not come from a model. The authors dated a buried ridge north of the city and identified it as a shoreline from the last interglacial period, the last time global temperatures were about where they are now. Three quarters of Louisiana’s remaining coastal wetlands are projected to be gone or going by around 2070. Two river diversion pro

Recorded in part at an ICE vigil in downtown Los Angeles, August 2026. This episode includes discussion
Making Contact – Nobody Told Them: Veterans and the Broken Handoff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Veterans leave the military having earned health care, education benefits, and job training. What almost nobody tells them is that none of it is automatic.

A Marine who got out in 1989 and didn’t learn what the VA was until 2019. An Army mechanic who called 211 out of desperation and found housing. A c
