Summary

Who’s to blame for Hurricane Katrina?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) invites comedian Sierra Katow on the show to discuss the catastrophic events of Hurricane Katrina and the disastrous aftermath the storm left in its wake. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Is building at or below sea level the culprit? Could evacuation semantics be to blame for the exacerbated rescue and aid snafus? Or did outdated technology and shortsightedness in our city planning have something to do with it?
