September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and many organizations are raising money for research and patient support. Last week, we learned the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which functions to support the attrition of patients with reduction of the disease. 

Dr. Charles Hemenway from the LCMC Children’s Hospital joins us today for more on the field of pediatric oncology and the fight to end childhood cancer. 

Between jazz halls, dance clubs, and even popular street corners, New Orleans has no shortage of offerings when it comes to vibrant nightlife. But NOLA after hours isn’t just fun, it's also economically advantageous. And now, a new position from the mayor’s office is singularly focused on the aspects of the Crescent City that come to life after dark. 

Howie Kaplan is the owner of The Howlin Wolf, manager of the Rebirth Brass Band, and now the first director of the New Orleans Office of Nighttime Economy. He joins us for more on his new role as “Night Mayor.”

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