Fran joins Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss how drinking a High Life at BJ's Lounge can help restore the wetlands. She shares how she once feared the "boogey man" of coastal erosion while growing up in south Louisiana. But she channeled that into action and by college she and a couple friends decided to fight back by developing their own nonprofit glass recycling company which is now producing millions of pounds of sand per year. She explains how climate change apathy may be worse than climate denialism, what it's like to do a TED talk, the origins of the Bar Wars initiative of which BJ's is a competitor, and how she may never escape her trademark pink hair highlights. Sabine McCalla provides two hot live tracks from her band's November 22, 2025 performance and BJ's.…

Elliot and Kate join Howie and Scully in the King Room to discuss the fight to stop the activation of the long dormant Alabo Wharf and its connecting rail lines in the lower Ninth Ward. They explain how Sunrise Foods International (Qatar, Turkey, Canada) and Port of Orleans are fast tracking a plan that has been in the works for over a year but was only made public in September. If the plan goes forward, they say, the historic neighborhood of Holy Cross will potentially suffer from harmful grain dust, an active rail line running just feet from front doors, and blocked traffic throughout the neighborhood -- most notably at two points on St. Claude; there are no benefits for the community.
