Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Meta is expanding its Louisiana data center; preserving the Battle of New Orleans site; Bastille Day concert
Q: How does the American Battlefield Trust approach preserving a site associated with such a complex historical figure and help visitors understand his military achievements in broader context?
The Trust aims to preserve hallowed battlefield land and tell authoritative, unbiased history about the events and actors, including the complicated legacy of figures like Andrew Jackson, to help people understand why these places matter today.
Meta is expanding its Louisiana data center; preserving the Battle of New Orleans site; Bastille Day concert
Q: So David, for people who may not realize it, why is this 40 acre property so historically significant?
It was the site of early skirmishing before the main Battle of New Orleans, and expanding it allows for more interpretation and educational opportunities about the battle, its context, and its lasting significance.
Going undercover as a guard at a private prison; how Lafon Arts Center is expanding rural arts education
Q: What was the training like and what did you observe on the job about violence and neglect?
Training emphasized manipulation and moral hazard, with staff focusing on how guards could be drawn into illicit activity; once on the job, inmate violence escalated during a period of low staffing and insufficient services, and the lack of adequate programs amplified tension and danger.
Going undercover as a guard at a private prison; how Lafon Arts Center is expanding rural arts education
Q: Shane, where did this idea come from all those years ago to go undercover as a prison guard? And after you had this idea, how hard was it to actually get a job?
The idea grew from years of reporting on prisons; applying online yielded rapid callbacks, and the interview process resembled a standard job inquiry that emphasized fitting into a system rather than exploring reasons for interest, ultimately leading to a surprisingly straightforward entry into the role.
New Orleans DA under fire for taking on high-profile private case; Queer activism during the AIDS epidemic in Shreveport
Q: So let's walk through the story. What can you tell us about the LGBTQ community in Shreveport prior to the outbreak of AIDS?
The community faced criminalization under sodomy laws, relied on internal networks and allies, and struggled with limited services; the environment drove people underground until AIDS catalyzed organized resistance and demand for better care.
