On today's show, Ian Hoch speaks with Pearson Cross, Professor of Political Science at ULM, to break down the latest in the redistricting arms race, what Louisiana v. Callais could mean for the state’s congressional map and that majority-Black district, and what the early midterm polling is telling us about the mood of the country.
Then, Dr. Claudia Riegel, Director of the City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite, and Rodent Control Board, joins Ian to talk about what we can do around our own homes to ward off pests and how New Orleans tries to stay one step ahead of the pests that would gladly take the whole place back if we gave them half a chance.
Finally, Paul Lagrange, host of WWL "Home Improvement Show," joins the show to talk about the filters hiding in washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, HVAC systems, range hoods, and more: where they are, how often you should clean them, and how much damage you can do by ignoring them.
