Some call it Hurricane Katrina. Some call it the Federal Flood. Others call it the day the levees broke. On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was submerged. That story of hubris, incompetence, and nature's wrath is now etched into the national consciousness. But the people who lived through the flood and its aftermath have a different story to tell. A story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II. Floodlines has been named an Apple Podcasts Series Essential.

The Atlantic has long been known as an ideas-driven magazine. Now we’re bringing that same ethos to audio. Like the magazine, the show will “road test” the big ideas that both drive the news and shape our culture. Through conversations—and sometimes sharp debates—with the most insightful thinkers and writers on topics of the day, Radio Atlantic will complicate overly simplistic views. It will cut through the noise with clarifying, personal narratives. It will, hopefully, help listeners make up their own mind about certain ideas. The national conversation right now can be chaotic, reckless, and stuck. Radio Atlantic aims to bring some order to our thinking—and encourage listeners to be purposeful about how they unstick their mind.

新闻
The story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination on April 4, 1968, is often recounted as a conclusion to a powerful era of civil rights in America, but how did this hero’s murder come to be the stitching used to tie together a narrative of victory? The week that followed his killing was one of the most fiery, disruptive, and revolutionary, and is nearly forgotten. Over the course of eight episodes, Holy Week brings forward the stories of the activists who turned heartbreak into action, families scorched by chaos, and politicians who worked to contain the grief. Seven days diverted the course of a social revolution and set the stage for modern clashes over voting rights, redlining, critical race theory, and the role of racial unrest in today’s post–George Floyd reckoning.

A Must Listen Podcast

I binged this report. The personal stories — covering a multiplicity of perspectives — are thoughtfully woven together to create an engaging “look back” and analysis of Katrina / The Levees Breaking and the aftermath. A very important piece of audio journalism for folks who “witnessed” the disaster from their sofas — or who were too young to remember these events.
Incredible

Not just a feat of reporting but a work of audio art. In personal accounts and sound design, it puts your right there for the tick tock of one of the worst natural disasters in American history. I learned so much more about a story I thought I knew. But it’s in reckoning with the aftermath of Katrina that this show truly shines.
Exceptional storytelling

The handling of the Michael Brown interview was excellent

The journalism was top tier. The hard-hitting questions, and unbiased analysis throughout this podcast were incredible, but the Michael Brown interview really was something I’ve never seen before. Without spoiling it, the journalist was able to really bridge the gap between the party and race divide on what happened after Katrina. He formed questions and analyses that were both critical of the response, yet extremely unbiased and fair to the subject of the interview: Michael Brown. I already was loving the podcast but after this interview I had to give my 5 stars to this project.
