Katrina Stories - Police & National Guard (2 of 2)

This is part 2 of 2 of our interviews focusing on the police and National Guard.  Our first two interviewees, Sam and Larry, recount their interactions and perspectives on NOPD and the National Guard, while our third, Matthew, was an actual National Guardsman at the time of the interview who told us about some of the similarities and differences between being deployed overseas and being deployed at home. 

Katrina Stories is a documentary podcast built from first-person accounts recorded after Hurricane Katrina as part Mondo Bizarro's I-10 Witness Project. Each episode weaves together voices that reveal the human impact of the storm—stories of loss, resilience, anger and hope. The series preserves these testimonies as living history, offering listeners an intimate connection to the people and places forever changed by the disaster.
