Update From New Orleans

Harry Shearer, as you may or may not know, lives part-time in New Orleans. Since Katrina, he has been delivering regular updates about the situation there, mixed in with all of the rest of the satire, news, and music that comprise Le Show.

From time to time, he'll change his usual format to concentrate on interviewing a guest, and this week was one of those times. If you want to hear an intelligent status report, including a good argument on why New Orleans matters to the rest of the United States, check out this week's show. Harry's guest is John Barry, an author and now a member of one of the boards that oversees the levees in the area. Recommended. (Every episode of Le Show is recommended.)

And don't worry. You'll still get to hear The Apologies of the Week^©, News of the Warm^©, and other copyrighted features.
