Piece Description
For the "Making Contact" episode "Hurricane Katrina - 2 Years Later,"I made a short vox-pop "news dub" piece using existing interviews of New Orleans' residents. This 5 minute piece covers everything from when the Hurricane hit land to the aftermath and the slow recovery that is still taking place. We hope this piece keeps reminding people of the progress still needed in this historic music city. http://www.prx.org/pieces/20126
