Five years later, RadioActive revisits the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita this Wednesday September 1 at noon on WWUH 91.3fm.  Thanks to the efforts of Hartford Food Not Bombs, RadioActive gained access to perspectives not found in commercial media, as mainstream reporting and relief agencies were slow to respond to the disaster.  WWUH’s Dave Rozza reported first hand some of the earliest accounts of the devastation and grassroots organizing within New Orleans city limits and other areas affected by the storms.

Hear the exclusive audio, this week on RadioActive.  Re-airs Monday at 6pm on WHUS 91.7 fm, and Tuesday at 1pm on WESU 88.1fm.
