*When memory collides with myth and borders refuse to disappear.*
This week’s broadcast cuts through nostalgia, mythology, and manipulation — from the reality of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath to the performance art of political protest, and Europe’s current struggles with borders and "shifting populations." Todd weaves firsthand accounts with sharp cultural critique to show how old wounds and new delusions collide.
