The segment that you want to hear is from the NPR program "This
American Life"... I believe you can still hear the program from their
website... I mentioned this in an earlier post to IP. -Joe

Dave,

For IP if appropriate.

A week or so ago, IP forwarded a personal memoir by two paramedics
who were lied to and treated horribly by New Orleans police and
ultimately were denied egress from the city at the point of a gun.

While driving home yesterday, I chanced upon an interview with
several Katrina survivors on our local NPR station during their
regular Sunday afternoon feature.  The second person interviewed was
one of these paramedics, and just as she was getting into the really
awful events she experienced, NPR cut the feed for that story, and
replaced it with one from several months ago regarding poverty in
Latin America.  After about ten minutes of this new "replacement", I
turned of my radio.

An email inquiry to my local NPR station has so far gone unanswered.
