This episode is about connections — the kind you don’t expect to find and the kind you need to make it in tough times. Amid the destruction and chaos that followed Katrina, moments of generosity stood out. In this episode, Alta, Rob and Desmond share stories of the kindness of strangers, the bond we feel to our community, and how we can come together despite perceived differences. Their stories and perspectives remind us how in times of crisis we need one another.
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.
