    Sea Change: Fish to Fork

    Your expert guide to sustainable seafood is here! Get ready to feel the salt spray, and tuck into a wide-ranging conversation about what's on your plate and the future of our ocean. Seafood has been called our "last wild food." Humans have been enjoying seafood for a long time—over 2 million years. But in recent decades, how we catch and eat fish and shellfish has changed dramatically. Even though it might not always seem like it when we are digging into a Po'Boy with so much fried shrimp that they’re falling out the ends—our oceans are not the endless bounty we once thought they were. The UN reports that 94% of global fish stocks are overfished. So if we want to keep loving our seafood and making sure there are still shrimpers, fishers, and oyster harvesters able to make a living along our coast, then we’ve got to think about sustainability. We talk about the future of fish with one of the foremost seafood and ocean sustainability experts in the country, Paul Greenberg. And, Chef Jim Smith of the Hummingbird Way in Mobile gets us hungry to help save our seafood explaining how to eat it sustainably. You'll find more about Paul Greenberg here, with links to his books, including his new release, A Third Term. For more about Chef Jim Smith and his sustainability efforts, check out The Hummingbird Way. And check out our bonus episode with the extended interview with Jim.  --- This episode was hosted and reported by Carlyle Calhoun Despeaux and cohosted by Halle Parker.

    Why Gov. Landry needs support from dems; inaugural NOLA Mural Fest; getting to know congressional candidate, Devin Davis

    It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to catch up on politics with Stephanie Grace, editorial director and columnist for The Times Picayune/The Advocate. She tells us about Gov. Landry’s upcoming special tax session and why he will be looking for Democratic support to pass some of his proposals.  This weekend will see the launch of the first NOLA Mural Fest. The project is a collaboration between the Krewe of Red Beans and local artists as a way to uplift community voices, encourage support for the arts, and spur positive community changes.  Devin De Wulf, founder of the Krewe of Red Beans, and artists and founders of this initiative, Bruna Patella and Madison Roy, tell us what to expect at this weekend’s events.  Troy Carter, (D-LA) the Democratic U.S. House member representing Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District is facing a challenge. Devin Davis, 27, is described as further to left.

    Louisiana ballot breakdown; push to end prison labor; Day of the Dead bike ride in Baton Rouge

    It’s not just top-of-the-ticket races demanding attention this election season. At the bottom of your ballot, you’ll find measures that could have a big impact, including one proposal to amend the state constitution. Barry Erwin, President & CEO of Council for a Better Louisiana, breaks down these ballot measures, including  offshore energy revenue and coastal restoration funding questions.  There's a push to end forced labor in prisons in the South, with lawyers arguing that the work many prisoners are forced to do is low-paying and dangerous. But prison officials argue that they’ve improved working conditions.  The Gulf States Newsroom’s Kat Stromquist, takes a closer look at the movement — including a lawsuit in Louisiana. Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos events are just around the corner. And while some have expressed concern over celebrations in cemeteries, honoring loved ones at their place of rest is a cornerstone of the Latin American holiday, Day of the Dead.  Mark Martin, local bicycle activist and chair of the Complete Streets Citizens Advisory Committee of East Baton Rouge Parish, tells us more about Velo Muertos, an upcoming Day of the Dead biking event that puts a modern twist on a holiday with cultural and historic significance.  — Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

    Play examines voting in 1966 Selma; Lafayette opens center to divert youth from prison system

    Destructive hurricanes have affected millions of Americans this season  and forced many to evacuate. But the costs of evacuating are getting more expensive. The Gulf States Newsroom’s Stephan Bisaha speaks with one New Orleans family who chose to leave and tracked the cost. Perhaps you’ve seen the movie, “Selma” which tells the story of how civil rights activists came together to fight for voting rights with a march on Alabama’s Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. But you might not know about what happened one year later, when African Americans in the state were granted equal voting rights.  “Bridge the Distance” is a new one-act play that tells the story of Selma in 1966, looking at Black voters casting their ballots for the very first time. Writer Clarence Holmes Jr. and actor Lance Nichols tell us more about this play, and an upcoming staged reading at Dillard University. The Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice recently opened a new center in Lafayette aiming to divert youth in Acadiana away from jail. The Louisiana Multi-Agency Resource Center, known as LaMarc, will offer services designed to help families and young first-time offenders stay away from run-ins with the law.  Program Manager Desiree Hebert joins us for more about this initiative and the effectiveness of similar programs throughout the state. ___ Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack.

    National Women’s Business Week; New Orleans seniors face some of nation’s highest rates of poverty, food insecurity

    Artificial intelligence has raised concerns in schools over students using it to cheat. But some teachers are excited about the technology too. And now more than a 100,000 kids in the Gulf South have access to an AI-powered tutor that’s helping them learn to read. For the Gulf States Newsroom, WWNO’s and WRKF’s education reporter Aubri Juhasz reports on a growing number of Louisiana schools using the tool. Last Wednesday kicked off National Business Women's Week. The annual observance focuses on the accomplishments of working women and the obstacles they still face.  President and CEO of Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana, Voris Vigee, tells us more about rising through the ranks, and shares her advice for women seeking CEO opportunities today.  Earlier this year, a report from the New Orleans Council on Aging found that senior citizens face obstacles like poverty and food insecurity. Many have also been feeling the impacts of inflation, medical expenses, and increased costs of living.  Howard Rodgers, executive director for the New Orleans Council on Aging, and Martin Huber, director of community services, tell us why Orleans Parish is seeing some of the nation’s highest rates for seniors in need – and what resources are available. ___ Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

    More on Tiger Stadium: Huey Long’s controversial relationship with LSU; fans who found love in the stands

    Tiger Stadium is turning 100, and to celebrate we’re continuing our series about the historic venue. Today, we’ll hear from members of the cheer squad and color guard to learn how they keep up the energy on the field. Then, we hear from two fans who found love in the stands. Roughly two weeks ago, we took listeners on a trip to the LSU archives, where we learned how former Louisiana Gov. Huey Long became a major champion of the university. But his overinvolvement came with a price, and almost cost the school its accreditation.  For more on Long’s relationship with LSU and the precedent it set, we’re joined by Robert Mann, former professor and chair at LSU’s Manship School of Mass Communication, and the author of the book, Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU.  ___ Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

    State of chronic illness and food insecurity in New Orleans; former LSU radio announcer Jim Hawthorne reflects on legendary career

    The presidential election is less than 20 days away, and in Louisiana, there are plenty of down-ballot races to keep an eye on. The Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate’s editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace gives us the latest on state and local races.  For more than 36 years, Jim Hawthorne was the radio play-by-play announcer for the LSU Tigers baseball, basketball and football teams. He called some legendary wins, unfortunate upsets and even the unforgettable 1988 “Earthquake Game.” As we continue to bring you stories on the history of Tiger Stadium, WRKF's Aidan McCahill spoke with Hawthorne about his distinguished career, his favorite Death Valley memories, and how he's seen college athletics change over the years. The New Orleans Health Department recently unveiled a pair of reports that look at the intersection of two major issues and their relationship to health disparities. The first examines the state of chronic disease in New Orleans while the second looks at food insecurity in Orleans Parish.  Daisy Ellis, chronic disease policy senior analyst for the New Orleans Department of Health wrote the first report, while Luke Felty, food access specialist for the department, wrote the second. They join us with more on their findings.  ___ Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

    Houston Ballet returns to New Orleans; LSU’s first Black homecoming queen; Tiger Stadium memories

    The internationally acclaimed Houston Ballet is returning to the Crescent City for the first time in 15 years. This rare performance in the Big Easy is a one-night-only event showcasing classical and contemporary masterpieces by celebrated choreographers. Co-artistic director Julie Kent tells us more about what to expect at this weekend’s performance.  Over the weekend, LSU celebrated 100 years of Tiger Stadium in a game against Ole Miss.

Today we hear from Renée Boutte Myer, the first Black student to be crowned homecoming queen at LSU. She speaks with our intern, LSU student Martin Sullivan, about what she remembers from the night she made history.  Then, we hear from three LSU alumni who share their most memorable experiences at Tiger Stadium.
