As some of you may have noticed I have not been posting much lately. That is because I am in NYC on assignment and have been for over a week. I’ve been helping produce a steaming / podcast radio station for Advertising Week in the Big Apple and it has been no where near as boring as that sounds.

I’ve had the opprotunity to interview a lot of movers and shakers ranging from Chef Emeril to Geraldo Rivera over that time but the one I’d like to share with you is the podcast I did with Michaela Angela Davis. Soime of you know her as one of the driving forces behind Vibe Magazine. Some may know her from her series of workshops on female empowerment at our own Essence Music Fest. Some may know her for her work with Prince.

In the few minutes she kindly took from her busy schedule we spoke about New Orleans and about the film Trouble the Water. Since I am the blogger for Katrina: an UnNatural Disaster (an OSI site and webby award winner for 2008) and the film was made by one of our OSI Fellows I was thrilled with her choice of topic.

Give it a listen here.

Since posting the 9-11 guest post (below) by Jeremiah late last night I have noticed something interesting. The number of subscribers to my site via the feed has dropped by 50%. From over 80 last night at posting time to 41 as of this post. No negative comments, just a drop in subscribers. I stand by my choice in making this my 9-11 post and am not offering any apologies for it. What Jeremiah says is lucid and, in my opinion, accurate. We in New Orleans are experts on governmental abandonment/coruption/incompetence, as are our brethren in NYC. I would also like to offer up the following three posts made on Humid City last 9-11, thirteen days after the Great Deluge: My Post from NY, Modern Day Estella’s Post, and Wine’s Post.
