Some of the most sought-after musicians in the world are heading to New Orleans as The Crescent City Chamber Musical Festival kicks off its 7th Anniversary with 7 free public concerts. Founding artistic director, violist and New Orleans native, Luke Fleming, tells us how this concert series plans to take the perceived “stuffiness” out of classical music for performances that anyone can enjoy. 

In partnership with America Amplified, we are excited to bring you the fourth episode of Liner Notes, where local musicians walk us through their songwriting process. Louisiana Considered’s Alana Schreiber sat down with Eva LoVullo, a New Orleans-based singer/songwriter, and Katie Martucci, producer and violinist. They share the inspiration and musical journey of one of Eva’s latest releases, Midnight Snack. 

Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell, and Thomas Walsh.

How Germany pumps billions into Louisiana’s LNG plant expansion

It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time to catch up on politics with Stephanie Grace, The Times-Picayune/The Advocate’s editorial director and columnist.

We’ll get the latest on efforts to hold a constitutional convention in Baton Rouge this summer. Plus, a new leader takes top role in the state’s Democratic Party. 

A former New Orleans police chief is calling on President Biden to support changing how marijuana is classified in the United States.

Ronal Serpas is one of 32 law-enforcement leaders who signed a letter to the president in support of moving marijuana to a less serious category of controlled substance law. The Gulf States Newsroom's Kat Stromquist spoke to the former head of the NOPD about what it would mean for criminal justice. 

Over 50% of Louisiana’s adults have experienced some form of intimate partner violence–including knife attacks, choking, or other physical threats.  Louisiana women are three times more likely than men to experience severe or fatal forms of IPV. 

A new report puts a price tag on the costs of intimate partner violence to everyone in Louisiana; and the economic cost is surprising. Anita Raj, Executive Director of the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University, joins the show to share more.

Where the effort to rewrite Louisiana’s constitution stands; Intimate partner violence costs millions annually

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans, is widely seen as the most conservative federal appeals court in the nation. It handles cases from Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

As voting rights legislation meanders through the courts, the 5th Circuit has had a lot to say about the constitutionality of voting rights law.

Madeleine Greenberg is a senior case coordinator with Democracy Docket, a progressive-leaning platform examining voting rights and elections in the courts; she wrote an article examining a rise in voting rights cases before the 5th Circuit and joins us for more. 

Your local government is only as open and accessible as its digital presence — at least that’s the way things seem to work in the 21st century. 

The city-parish of Baton Rouge has been recognized for its digital government accessibility. The Bloomberg Center for Government Excellence recognized the MyBR app for giving people access to an open government. The recognition came as part of Bloomberg’s Sunshine Week, an initiative promoting open government and transparency.

Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome joins the show to tell us about how citizens can use the MyBR app to interact with their government. 

LSU recently got a major boost to its efforts to research clean energy production in the state. The school won $160 million dollars through a grant from the National Science Foundation. The money will go towards new sustainability research and job training for students over the coming decade.

Halle Parker, Coastal Desk reporter, spoke with Dr. Robert Twilley, LSU’s Vice President of research and economic development, about the historically large grant and what it means for the state.
